To my followers, you are the stars in my sky. You all rock.
I haven't had a TV in my house since 2003. No point. No time.
HAHAH, I wouldn't survive without the TV to cast kids shows on occasionally. We have not had cable since 2015. That was a big jump for our family. lol
how many kids do you have? I have 5. (crying noises*)
we cut the cord in 2005, obsolete
smart move.
that's incredible informative post I like it thanks for posting ;)
you are welcome. Thank you for reading.
I spend so little time watching TV anymore, unless you count the couple times a week when new Doctor Who and Star Wars Rebels episodes come up...
Aside from that, I spend my time making art. YouTube is my TV channel nowadays.
As for FB ads, I ahve utilized them before. Nice and cheap, handy.
My own YouTube channel is finally getting the attention from me that it should have received years ago. Shame I missed the big payout days. Oh well. Perhaps that is why I am trying to double down on my time here on Steemit. I'd love to see this community grow!
(Speaking of teaching people to do things online - my steampunk mini top hat tutorial video should be up within the hour!)
Doctor who and star wars don't count. lol.
You sound ready for the big transition, now just keep doing your YouTube. Link me to the video when you post it.
One can hope. Just gotta keep plugging away.
One video for your pleasure!

@walkingkeys. thanks for the great post. I do SAAS and provide a subscription service to access my software. I've found that people don't respond well to ads anymore. Too many over hyped and under delivered ads.
People do trust their friends though. When a friend tells you a good restaurant, movie, or product, people will be more apt to purchase. This is why most companies are moving away from ads and more towards affilliate marketing and network marketing.
It seems almost every company in the world now will pay you for a referal.
@walkingkeys Love your articles and your insight. This article is 100% on point. The new age of consumption and the way we consumer information these 4 models are becoming the dominant players in the media landscape. It will be interesting how Blockchain tech can inevitably disrupt it.
