I’m a valuable marketing tool!

I did enjoy being told that I was part of a powerful group of women, both economically and politically.

I promise to use my blogging power for good.

The roundtable discussion about blogging and branding and that was pretty interesting.  I haven’t been involved in a discussion about getting paid for the work that we do…Oh wait, I do theatre (Mike Daisey explains it best)….Oh wait, I’m a mom… Oh, wait…, I volunteer at My Kid’s school…

That woman was right when she quoted her husband who said, “There is no way a group of men would be still blogging for free diaper bags“

OK, I was feeling good, now I’m depressed.

No, wait, I won’t get discouraged.  Some mom bloggers get free stuff to blog about and then they write about so much stuff they end up being hired by marketing companies.

Now I am really getting off course.  I’m a clown, not an ad exec

So anyway.

It was a fun work day first in the studio with the women clowns at a studio in the Fashion District then at the blogging mom event in Tribeca.

So after yummy Brooklyn supper on the the stoop of delivery  from The Smoke Joint I sit here now here I write on my MacBook while My Kid who was very excited about the Bejeweled video game and bottles of Powerade Play sports beverage I brought back from today’s event is enjoying her bath with the blue robot bath bomb from LUSH and soap from Carol’s Daughter–OK I’ll stop.

One thought on “I’m a valuable marketing tool!”

  1. Hey Kathie–

    Strangely, my wife just wrote about this on her blog:

    http://www.stephanieschwab.com/2010/05/18/brands-working-with-bloggers-its-confusing/

    I haven’t gotten compensated dime one for http://www.clownlink.com, (other than a few affiliate ad sales from Amazon and a few google ad clicks here and there) nor for any of my other blogs (I have about 4 or 5) Strike that– my Yonkers arts blog somebody sent in $25 as a paypal donation.

    The problem is really traffic– until you have enough traffic to make it worthwhile for brands to compensate you, they are not going to.

    Anyway– I read you on a regular basis, but sadly am not a hot demographic.

    Adam
