starting

although many people around me require money
the macropatronage idea is not a course or clumsy technique

if it is to work
then we must consider it like a martial art
and more precisely
like the locating of pressure points
otherwise
the financial system with its billions
will not be effected by one cent...

what are the qualities of this pressure point?
the idea is described in social art
http://www.lulu.com/content/5520781
as well as a shared google doc regarding money-flow...

put simply
social artists get £100k from companies
because they are allowing their name to be in direct association with the company name

where-ever the name of the social artist appears
so will the company
whether on booklets, flyers, posters, magazine articles, blogs, everywhere
hence
it is a relationship which uses secondary advertising...
which means the media are involved

in the coming days of blogging
personal recommendation
this macropatronage relationship may prove influential
think of the millions in terms of sports sponsorship
and the billions in terms of internet advertising...

i have started the process off by mentioning it to a few people
and now i am asking for them to compile a list of links
which provides some kind of virtual profile...

once i get this information
then i shall speak to each individual social artist one on one
in order to work out the best possible approach

i like the idea of the social artists coming together
and helping one another out
but everyone is busy
and i believe there needs to be some real action
in terms of actually getting hands on money
before anyone actually changes their behaviour...

so
for now
it is minimal involvement

i have received info from michel bauwens
and i await info from
tav
ricardo
phamie
and a number of others

of course
if you think of someone who you think is a social artist
then please get in contact with me

i have a short list
and i need to have world-class individuals on this
if the idea is to have any serious chance of working...
