What are "toll positions"? (A refresher post!)

I have a few questions I feel everyone interested in toll positions would like to have Mr. Brody answer.

#1 What are some of your most successful ways of finding toll positions

#2 What is the best way to contact manufacturers and inventors?

#3 How do you get past the gate keepers at the companies you want to contact?

#4 I would love some pointers on how to analyze the toll position potential of a product.

#5 What is the best way to get distribution for a product?

and

#6 I feel that Mr. Brody's greatest strength when it comes to toll positions and life is his mindset and I would greatly appreciate having him tell us about that in great detail.

Thank You!!!

1. How Does Harvey use the Internet & Todays Technology to Make Money?

2. What recommendations would Harvey Brody definitely recommend for a bootstrapper to become financially & personally independent using the internet & today’s technology?

3. & how is Harvey personally using the internet & today’s technology to acquire toll-positions?

In the early 80’s Harvey Brody spoke about how PCs or personal computers would create fortunes & how he was using them for making a fortune via self-publishing etc.

I don’t believe he would be doing affiliate marketing, using Google AdWords’ (pay per click advertising) or using social marketing such as Facebook, Twitter or even LinkedIn the world’s largest professional network as it represents just pocket change or waste of his time for the amount of time & effort invested.

In fact, I believe he no longer does self-publishing & has moved on to more profitable opportunities requiring less of his time. Whereas todays so called internet marketing gurus believe in selling big ticket information products &/or high-priced information seminars & doing joint-ventures with other marketers to make their fortunes.

This is definitely not Harvey Brody’s style & would never attach his name to such programs or associate with such marketers.

I also don’t believe he would even attempt to make what he calls bread & butter money from either Amazon, Craigslist or Ebay or even recommend such. However he may look for certain valuable watches which are either broken or for cheap to buy & resell, but only as a hobby.

Well the reason he quit publishing was EMPLOYEES. He's not opposed to publishing and the Internet affords a world wide audience, millions could be building their own harbors with his methodology. Keep in mind many of these guys including Dan Kennedy (a local favorite) learned from Harvey and the gurus of their day.

The problem is scale, and having the right methods in place. His "style" is to operate on a global scale but he would work with "such marketers".

His thinking is a tad bit bigger.
