Progress Report

The movement has begun.

Over 500 people visited this blog last week. 100 people have raised their hand by signing up on the blog, following OurSeat on Twitter, or being a fan of OurSeat on Facebook. I’m please with the start, especially considering I haven’t really given any details yet. But I want to be clear, this is not a pipe dream. This can be done and we all can start getting paid for our role as consumers with little to no effort on our part. As long as we have enough people raising their hands.

If extra money every month as payment for the time and attention advertisers have been buying sounds intriguing to you, please let me know. Even if you don’t understand how it’s going to work. I want to write more about how this can work…how we can easily join together and started getting paid for our role in the $300 Billion ad economy. And I will soon. In the meantime, I hope you will keep reading and keep telling others.

The most important thing right now is that we spread the word about the ideas in this blog and get people to raise their hand. Post comments. Share with friends. If 10,000 raise their hand, we can have a voice. If 100,000, we’ll all get our share of the ad dollars. If 1,000,000…we may just change the world of advertising, putting control in the hands of consumers.
