Latin america is full of shoppers. Ever heard a pickup truck blasting mexican thug music drive around a pueblo? It's trumpets, horns, guitars, confetti poppers, acoustics cranked way up blasting a chorus of joy treble. Latin America's economic boom? Latin America IS a boom. Economically ready for your loud shitty ads and lacking content.*
Latin america is where I learned AM. Even a newbie such as myself can do it.
Thug-hate-joy ride around a pueblo. Sunglasses, wife beater, sweaty, big gold chain. posse in the truck. blaring the LOUDEST acoustic music with the TREBLE ALL the way up, because he's a thug. Around, literally, around, around, again, and again, and again. Man, pueblos are small.
* Respect to Latin America, perhaps your gained clicks are another example of their full hearts and friendly nature toward foreigners.
2 Benefits I can think of right now for hands-on marketing in Latin America, get money, and learn a language by some strange, intense immersion.
1 Drawback, learn the language fucking quick or increase your start-up costs with hired translation.
A little to add, cultural knowledge pays off in a unique way; setting ads to calendar, location, time of day, holiday, etc.
