What Do You Support?

by Kevin M Roy on July 29, 2010

I’m very curious to find out what kinds of things you’re passionate about.  What kind of things would you endorse publicly for free?  What price would it take for you to whore out something that you’re only moderately interested in?  Would you do it at the expense of alienating people who trust your opinion?  Can you even make that decision without someone showing you the money?

Where do you stand on any of these?

Activities?
Causes or Charities?
Brands or Products?
Authors or Books?
Artists or Works of Art?
Performers, Albums or Songs?
Industries, Professions or Businesses?
Screenwriters, Directors, Producers, Films, Actors?
Nudity, Clothing, Specific Pieces of Clothing?
Countries or Specific Vacation Destinations?
Animals as pets, entertainment or food?
Food? Meals, dishes, regional cuisine?

How much credence do you give to something with a lot of support behind it?  Does it make a bigger difference if it’s a celebrity endorsement?  If so, is that the difference in your mind or do you think the population as a whole reacts more positively to it?

What about if a close friend or relative tells you about it?

Support in the form of an endorsement or testimonial in advertising is simply a written or spoken statement approving a particular product.  If you read my blog and like what you read, please consider supporting my efforts by signing up for updates via email (over to the right)  and officially letting people know that you “LIKE” me on Facebook.  Here’s my official page:

I’m not going to go over the plot or what [...]

I’m about to embark on an experiment that I’m fairly certain will end up paying off for me.  What I’ve recently come to realize is that I have been severely under-utilizing the potential of my blog.
I’ve been over-complicating things and thinking way too much about what makes a good blog and what my readers want [...]

Procured from the mind of K.M.R, somewhere in the middle of a run
Hello Fellow Entrepreneur,
It’s been rattling around my head a lot lately that when it comes to maximizing profitability in a business that the best way to do so is to get an outsider’s opinion.  Obviously, not just anybody’s point of [...]

I’m not too proud to offer a bribe.  It’s not a crime unless you’re involved in public office or are bestowed with some kind of legal duty.  So, if you’re a governor, mayor, judge, etc., I am not trying to influence you in your said capacity; that’s my official disclaimer.
I’m not even going to pretend [...]

If you’re going to read my blog, you should at least know a little about me.
I’m allergic to shellfish.  If we’ve ever broken bread together I’m sure it’s come up at some point in the conversation. So, if you’re looking to have me over for dinner or want to take me out, I’ll pass on [...]

“Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test [...]
