Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?
Did you see my email?
The overly-hyped and somewhat-amusing new TV show, "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader," got me thinking:
"How difficult will a Fifth Grader feel it is to post Articles and Press Releases to our Articles section?"
So I tested.
I sent two Fifth Graders to our site to see how difficult it would be for them to post an article to our Articles and Press Releases area.
Each went to http://www.stagemagazineonline.com/addarticles and after reading the directions were asked to post an article from a pre-typed Word document.
The average time it took was 127 seconds.
Just over TWO MINUTES.
It takes longer than two minutes to print the document, fold it, address it, and put a stamp on it (to say nothing about actually mailing it).
It takes longer than two minutes to fax it and then HOPE that the local newspaper will run it (and then keep your fingers crossed that your "market" will actually read the paper and read that particular page the day the article runs… a day you cannot control).
Yet these Fifth Graders did it in about two minutes and the articles were instantly available online, using the full power of our site to attract attention to you.
So, are YOU smarter than a Fifth Grader?
Can YOU invest two minutes to be sure that YOUR information gets out immediately and to people hungry for theater? Only YOU can decide… and it's part of your Membership, and we sure hope you use us the best you can!
We're here to help sell your tickets. Please take two minutes to post your information and build your bottom-line. Every article. Every time. And then sit back and see how much better your sales are.
