Those who have been checking the blog, looking for an update….my apologies. I have been putting all my energy this summer into getting the project off the ground that will tackle the very problem I discuss here. I’m getting very close to announcing my plans and my approach that will give each of us a “seat at the table” and a slice of the ad revenue marketers spend reaching us every day.
But these are challenging economic times, and I’m trying to launch this plan without raising any money. So it’s taking a little longer, with a few extra speed bumps along the way. Disappointing, sure, but when you are trying to shatter a status quo, and do it in a non-traditional way, sometimes surprises pop up and that’s where I am. It’s an exciting challenge to do something differently….it requires thick skin and patience and I’m trying my best to develop both.
I am as certain as ever that consumers can and will be properly compensated for the critical job we play sharing our time and attention with marketers. It’s just taking a few months longer to get this off the ground than I had hoped. But it will make it all the sweeter once I’m up and running.
I hope you’ll stay tuned. There WILL be news soon. In the meantime, I will update this blog as often as I am able to.
