I had advertisers who regretted that (as well as many readers) because they saw customers through their advertising with us.
But I could not convince enough businesses that advertising to their market through the community newspaper would be more beneficial than an internet presence.
So my experiment in marketing failed.
The paper paid for the air time through a trade I made with the radio station.
However, Pastor Rick Deitering, who I had on the show numerous times, asked me to sit in on his show, Moment of Clarity, for some time before The Drift went off air.
Then he made me a co-host.
Today, he took a day off and I hosted for him, which I hadn't done in a few months.
It was fun.
We talked about Chick-Fil-A cutting ties with the Salvation Army, and why.
You can listen here: A Moment of Clarity
That's me on the left.
Hard copy's not easy... I say that as an editor of a sponsored religious "glossy." Feel free to send in articles from a trad/culture war pov and your reward will be great in heaven!
ReplyDeleteWow. I did not know that about you.
DeleteThanks.
"When one door closes, another opens" comes to mind. More importantly, "I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name." (Rev. 3:8)
ReplyDeleteI know that's generally prophetic, but it had a personal prophetic tone to it.
DeleteThank you.
It was a great radio show and you had cool guests...
ReplyDeleteLike you, Jim and Brigid, for example. :)
DeleteToo bad about the paper and radio gig
