When I was in third grade, our class did "The Twelve Days of Christmas" for the school's holiday show. Needless to say I was disappointed in the role. There was nothing cute about a maid-a-milking. The costume was frumpy. The movements were, well, um... up and down with both hands like you're milking a cow. Nothing difficult, nothing challenging, just embarrassing. I wanted to be a golden ring. After all, these five got to twirl around with gold hula hoops for the "fi---------------ve gol------den rings" which meant they had much more stage time and got to dress like ballerinas (which is secretly what I wanted to be).
So I have to wonder who had a similar school holiday show experience...
I started doing banner advertising for CraftyAlien.com again. It's a science experiment to say the least. You start with one ad and watch how it does for a while. Then you change the ad and see how it does on the same sites. You change one word, one image, you try animation, a promo code... just to see if you can reach a broader audience. I've been advertising on crafty sites because it's where the crafty people are. And then I was rejected from a site because I guess they don't want the competition. I love that, because it only makes me want to work harder, better and faster. I'm just working small for now until I get the ads just right and then I'll expand. I'm also working on an affiliate program as well, but it's on the back burner for the holiday season. If you have a blog or other website that has advertising and you need some ads, email me.
