Gatekeepers & Constituents

 

Jessie Fuentes & Ronnie Mosley

I can't get the 21St Ward Alderman Ronnie Mosley on my video podcast. It is sad because I have been a resident of the 21St Ward for 64 years.

My show on YouTube does not have thousands of viewers and subscribers. It's basically a public affairs program. The guests are people who like to talk and don't mind being seen on social media with Marc Sims.

Ronnie Mosley seems like a nice gentleman and a good Alderman, but I think his staff is blocking him from being a guest on the show.

Alderman Ronnie Mosley's gatekeeper may see me and my public affairs program as a total waste of time. Gatekeepers have a job to do but they may be doing their employer a disservice.

Wish For Low Income Neighborhoods.

My wish for low income neighborhoods.

Grade school students will get a practical education that teaches skills that pay the bills.

The unemployed and underemployed will get jobs that pay a middle class wage or be subsidized by a universal basic income.

A severely mentally ill person is placed in an institution for the mentally ill.

Non-violent neighborhood criminals are sent to a correctional facility that will teach them legal skills that pay the bills.

1,000 True Fans

I could get 1,000 true fans fatser if was bullshitter, or a cult leader.

Google AI Overview

The "1,000 true fans" concept, coined by 

Kevin Kelly, describes a loyal, niche audience of 1,000 dedicated supporters who will buy anything a creator produces, enabling a sustainable career without requiring mainstream fame. These fans provide roughly $100 profit annually, totaling $100,000 for the creator. 

• Who They Are: They are deeply committed supporters who value a creator's work, often buying all products, including merchandise, books, or concert tickets.
• The Goal: The aim is to foster a direct relationship with a manageable, community-sized, loyal audience rather than chasing millions of followers.
• The Definition: They are not just passive followers; they act as fans who engage, share, and support.
• The Principle: This strategy emphasizes quality of engagement over quantity of reach, focusing on nurturing a smaller group to ensure consistent income.
• Alternative View: Some argue the number can be as low as 100 dedicated fans depending on the creator's financial needs and the price of their offerings. 

Enlightened Safe Millionaires

I want to see a well-informed and enlightened American

society.

I want to see low income neighborhoods free of

crime.

I want to see an education system that teaches students how

to learn, how to think, and how to become a multi millionaire.
