I suffer from mild anxiety. Not in a diagnosed manner, but in a general way. In the past it has been more of an issue than currently. Why do I mention this obscure fact about myself? Just because I just began posting some new ads around.
The thought of taking a step in being responsible to a readership to a monetary level is a little concerning to me. Not that any readership has a direct cash investment in me or my site, but that by placing ads around I have an investment in you. I have indirectly stated, “I want you to see my site so much I will pay money to tell you about it.” It seems that once the money is exchanged that there is a greater investment on my part. Now if you come and see my site I feel that if you don’t like it that you’ve been deceived.
It seems to reason to me that the same monetary investment that I put out to post an ad is like me saying, “my site is worth this much to your,” or, “you would have wanted me to spend this much money for you to see this.” Then in the event that you are dissatisfied you’ll be able to say, “it was not worth that much.” Now I understand that the cost economics as I express them here are certainly skewed from reality, but in the back of my head that’s how I feel.
In the near future I may even be hosting ad space. Then I’ll have a commitment to those individuals. Then what’ll I do?
p.s. Apparently “what’ll” cannot be a conjunction. I’m keeping it anyway. I like it.
