I make a living by producing and selling ideas via blogs and social media. I do it in my own name. I brought my core business assets (mailing list plus Twitter followers) and turned them over to this fight for humanity. Yet I still need to make a living by producing and selling ideas. It means constantly treading a fine line of being appropriately self-promoting while not profiting from the movement. The moment I have enough money to do the job, I stop doing sales and marketing. Online activity isn’t an adjunct to my day job, it is my day job. Yet some want a puritan attitude to resources or notoriety that isn’t realistic. You can be selfless without sabotaging yourself through homelessness or hunger!
Think you share plenty free of charge, Martin n i for one am grateful. I think you've struck a great balance and will reap the rewards financially when we can and lots of good will (an intangible asset?). 💛
A passing thought ... Have often wondered if there's a sense of guilt, generally, about asking for money for services and if so, is it engendered thru religious dogma? Healers often have this limiting belief.
