A few months ago, beau put out this thread fishing for more virtual assistants.  The idea is that a group of people will try to beat the bushes and get cash flow to happen that will then create enough coin to keep them employed full time.   And, if the income streams grow enough, then they might even be able to get it to be a professional level of income!

What does this mean to you?  Well, you will see attempts at making all sorts of stuff on permies better.  And, of course, the product stuff will have better web pages, better banners and better mentions in things like the dailyish.  We will also develop more relationships with related organizations, carry more products in our digital market, and do better advertising and ..... stuff and stuff and stuff.  

This thread is a place to ask questions and make suggestions.  



I think a really important thing here is that all of our ads and all of our efforts are:

      low key:  other web sites seem to be 90% ads.  I think every permies.com page has less than 10% ads.

      on topic: no ads for loans or gambling or pesticides.  Everything is about permaculture and homesteading

      worth reading:  i like it when ads have stuff i like learning about


What is some cool stuff to add to the digital market?

What are some other organizations to develop a relationship with?

Are there are some organizations that might wanna harvest our 50% affiliate fee on our products?

What are some ideas that might help this project be a success?

One thought is to do 'fireside chats' on your podcasts with more people who have influence in the homesteading, permaculture and prepping communities who already have a podcast (because people who listen to podcasts, listen to other podcasts - strange, but true)

While that is an interesting idea, I think the thing I am fishing for is how to make this group be able to "make" a permaculture job.  Things that will help build a better permaculture world while simultaneously bringing in some coin so these folks can get paid.

 
You had your fun. Now it's time to go to jail. Thanks for your help tiny ad.
