I know everyone has to eat, and earn a living. Promoting your work whatever it is, is ok with me. But here is a hint: this place is about community, we talk, laugh, cry, and generally hang out. If you want engagement, best bet is to give engagement. Talk to us. Let us know a bit about you. Give us a reason to be interested in your work. Banner ads, or just saying "buy this" probably ain't gonna be successful.
We don't have ads here for a reason.
We do support each other's work.
@corlin @Timothysykes Yes, this is me. I hate ads but I am a huge believer in supporting things I enjoy such as books, reading material, small businesses and sites like this. I would rather make a donation for something I believe is worth supporting than feel like I need to be careful where my hand is on my iPad because it might hit a horrible ad. I’m brand loyal in general, but I love finding new things.
