A Small Advertising Idea with a Bigger Purpose

Dear Friend,

I would like to share a simple idea I have been thinking about.

I call it The $1-a-Day Advertising Experiment.

For the first 100 small businesses, I would like to offer a simple online advertising promotion for C$365 for one year.

That works out to just C$1 a day.

It is simple for both the business owner and me.

Why $1 a day?

I know running a small business in today's economy is difficult.

Many small businesses need exposure, but traditional advertising can be expensive. I would like to offer a simple and affordable alternative:

C$365 for one year. One payment. 

But there is another reason I am doing this.

I am looking for something meaningful to do—something useful, simple, and enjoyable.

I am an 80-year-old grandfather. I have two blogs, AI123.ca and Grandpa Journey, where I explore, learn, write, and share what I discover.


That led me to another question:

What can I still create that may be useful to others?

Whatever income I may eventually earn from my blogs and this project, I would like to donate it to La Salle College HK, a school that changed my life.


An example for the next generation

I have children and grandchildren.

 I would rather show them by example.


Sometimes, you can simply take what you have, do something useful with it, and share whatever comes beyond your own needs.


So this little $1-a-day advertising experiment has a bigger purpose for me.

If it helps a small business get noticed, that is good.

If it creates some income that can be given to others, that is even better.

Then I will feel that it was worthwhile.


Keep learning.
Keep creating.
Help where you can.
Give when you have enough.
And show the next generation through your actions.

That is really what this idea is about.

A small advertisement.
A simple C$365 annual experiment.
A little help for small businesses.
And something good that continues beyond me.

Warmly,

Grandpa Journey

一个小小的广告构想,却有一个更大的意义

亲爱的朋友:

我想和你分享一个最近一直在思考的简单想法。

我把它称为 “每天1美元的广告实验”(The $1-a-Day Advertising Experiment)。

这个想法很简单:对于最初的100个小企业客户,我希望提供一种简单的网络广告推广服务,费用是一年365加元(C$365)

换算下来,就是每天只需1加元

这里有一个重要的区别:企业客户一次支付一年的费用,而不是每天付款。我觉得这样对企业老板和我自己来说,都简单得多。

为什么是每天1加元?

因为我知道,经营一家小企业并不容易,尤其是在今天这样的经济环境下。

很多小企业需要让更多人看见自己,但传统广告可能相当昂贵。我想尝试一种简单、负担得起的替代方式。

一年C$365。一次付款。简单的广告推广。

我并不是想建立一家大型广告公司。

到了人生的这个阶段,我更希望做一些有意义的事情——一些有用、简单,而且让我感到快乐的事情。

我是一个80岁的爷爷。我有两个博客,AI123.caGrandpa Journey。我在那里探索、学习、写作,并分享自己所发现的东西。

我很幸运。

我没有很多钱,但我的生活稳定而健康。我有一个遮风挡雨的家,有饭吃,也有足够的钱享受自己的生活。

我不需要变得富有。

这让我产生了另一个想法。

我在人生的这个阶段,还能创造些什么,可以对别人有所帮助?

将来如果我的两个博客以及这个小项目能够产生一些收入,我希望把这些收入捐给三个对我很有意义的机构:

香港喇沙书院(La Salle College Hong Kong)。

对我来说,这并不仅仅是为了赚钱。

我更想看看,一件由我自己创造的小事情,最终是否能够为别人带来一点帮助。

我也希望“以身作则”,而不是“教导”

我有孩子,也有孙辈。

我不想一直教训他们应该怎样生活,或者应该怎样做人。

我更愿意用自己的行动给他们看

我希望他们能够看到,即使年纪大了,人仍然可以继续学习、继续创造、继续工作,也可以继续为别人做一些事情。

不需要很富有,才有能力给予。

也不需要做出什么惊天动地的大事,才能让这个世界变得好一点。

有时候,我们只需要把自己拥有的东西好好利用,把超过自己需要的部分分享出去,就已经很好了。

一个小小的实验,一个更大的意义

所以,这个小小的**“每天1加元广告实验”**,对我来说有着更大的意义。

也许它会成功。

也许不会。

但我觉得值得尝试。

如果它能够帮助一家小企业获得更多关注,那很好。

如果它能够产生一点收入,然后帮助到别人,那就更好了。

而如果有一天,我的孩子和孙辈回头看着爷爷的一生,说:

“爷爷一直在努力做一些有用的事情,也一直想着帮助别人。”

那么,我会觉得这个实验已经值得了。

我不需要给下一代留下很多钱。

我更希望留下一种榜样:

继续学习。
继续创造。
能够帮助别人时,就尽力帮助。
当自己拥有足够时,也懂得给予。
用自己的行动给下一代看。

这才是这个想法真正的意义。

一个小小的广告。
一个简单的C$365年度实验。
为小企业提供一点帮助。
也希望这份善意能够在我之后继续下去。

温暖地,

Grandpa Journey
