The economy, finally, is about to kick back into gear.
I now have an advertising sales force, and it consists of the lady pictured at left: Carlie Flowers. She has business cards and everything, so all of you business owners and managers, directors of well-heeled advocacy groups, political candidates and others who have hitherto been hurting America by sitting on your wallets: You might as well start opening them now. Or even better, your checkbooks.
I recruited Carlie to sell ads for me last week. What, you ask, are her qualifications for this vital task? Well, she also sells ads for The Shop Tart. Yeah. Go look at that site. Count the ads, if you can.
No, selling for bradwarthen.com isn’t quite the same as selling for the lovely, highly marketable Shop Tart. But Carlie is up for a challenge. Take a look at her. Does that look like a woman who will approach prospective customers by saying, “You don’t want to buy an ad, do you?” Which hitherto has been the approach at bradwarthen.com, which is why, if I’d had a head of advertising before now, I’d have fired him or her. So I could hire Carlie.
This is pretty exciting. For me, anyway. Since, you know, I stand to make money from it.
Y’all can participate by counting the ads as they stack up, and being suitably impressed.
Here we go now…

Welcome, Carlie–how about some in-ad discounts for blog readers?
