Yep, tomorrow is the seventh day of the 2018 KNON Summer Pledge Drive. It will be the first day of the drive for the show I do there, the Tuesday Morning Blend, & I am none-too-excited about it. Why? Because I'm terrible at raising money.
& it's not it's something I can't learn. I have been reading website about proper pitches. But I don't have the instinct for it. You've met salespeople, haven't you? Could sell coals to Newcastle? Yeah, that's not me. Ultimately I feel weird about capitalism, maybe because I grew up poor.
Really, I feel it would be nice if folks just had a sense that they should support a station like KNON as a matter of course, but instead you know how it is: you have to beg, to cajole, to entice with gifts. I've done it myself, at stations I've been involved with - I look for the good premium before I make a pledge.
So I am gearing up for trying, trying again. If you want to support me on the radio in Dallas - I know, I wish it were Self Help Radio, but this is the only place I can deejay in town - think about calling tomorrow morning or perhaps making a donation at this place on the web. Make sure you mention me or the Tuesday Morning Blend to get me some credit.
& think nice thoughts. I'm so going to suck at this.
