With the Web, You Can Afford to Dream Big
Late start in the cafe today, but we’re going all out. Great weather for coffee drinkers, and people passing through the town.
But now a break, for the patrone, as Steve said the other day. Next week the Patrone gets back to his regular stuff. I was thinking about something pretty neat: We are the only business in the area that earns money by clicks on the web, or how many thousands of views our pages get or by the other commission schemes we have going on gonomad. Our business model is deep into 2006, ‘the new world’ it’s a new paradigm. There is all of a sudden a shared pool of dough, not just mine, or his, or competion against other web businesses. The web industry is better than any I’ve ever worked in for that.
We love being a part of this, it feels deeply like it will become very lucrative some day. Right now it is slow and steady, nothing earthshattering almost ever for all of the different ad schemes and incentive programs. They are all modest, there is just a lot of them. We try them out, weed them out, then keep and maximize our energy on the ones that pay. That’s our secret.
Last week an interesting fellow dropped by the cafe who designs websites and makes custom-made websites using databases. He had heard about us from Dave Caputo, down in Holyoke. When I visited him last week, I spied a huge garden in his front lawn. The Puerto Rican lady who was hoeing said it was Dave’s garden. I brought home two tomatoes. Dave’s got a full house down there, with 13 desks and talented people streaming in to work on various websites and design projects for Positronic Design.
