This blog is about an idea.  An idea in my mind.  As I write this blog, I try to find the most relevant way to put forth this idea.  But I am dealing with a flat service and one train of thought in each post.

I have found that most people who give me the time to sit and listen often have many questions.  The reason is because this is about something that does not exist.  So after my initial debriefing, there are often many questions.  Slowly as I stayed centered and answer their questions, the light starts to get a little brighter, until the concept is there with them and they understand.

This blog can’t do the same thing as face to face interaction.  Here I pick a topic that is most relevant to my thoughts at the moment and talk about that whether you are ready for it or not.

Another drawback of this blog is that my examples of the Clickboards are not 100% yet.  So there is still a lot left to the imagination.  And without me as a guide to your imagination, the idea is still left with a very fuzzy exterior with too much left not understood.  Especially when I am trying to convince someone in another business that this is a great idea, without a personal touch, it is no wonder why I would be left on the back burner.

I’m going after mGuanxi.com now.  Check it out.  I’m sending my resume and proposal tomorrow.  It is the exact same proposal I gave to Richard of Jin Magazine that he rejected.  Now the two want to partner which could squeeze me out.  But I am still after a job with them rather than here.  I am being treated too much like my job is a common commodity here in Tianjin which it is not.  I hope to approach mGuanxi with the fact that I was able to make this magazine recognizable throughout the community and I want to do the same for them.  This is my email to them tomorrow:

Dear Ken and Jessy,


You may not know me directly but I believe you have been talking with Don Stewart and now my boss Richard Zhang is in Shanghai soon to have a meeting with you.  I want to put forth a proposal for you.  I am your man in Tianjin.  I have been the Chief Editor of Jin Magazine for over a year now.  I am responsible for putting a ‘famous face’ of Tianjin on the cover every month as well as find the multiple stories and contacts for these stories together for the writers each month.  If you like I could send you a copy of the magazine from before I started and our most recent so you can see the drastic improvement that has happened under my supervision.  I have been able to carry out every task that Richard has put forth and I have added elements to the magazine that generates response from the readers.


I wish to do the same for you.  I am extremely interested in your mGuanxi and believe I am one of the most beneficial people you will need to make this web and mobile service successful in Tianjin.  I’m excited about the possibilities and wish to give you a business plan that could incorporate advertising into your site.  This would take your site from being a social and savings  media to a social savings networking utility.  I proposed this to Richard and he could not see the finer details.  But RMB100,000 at base is something I think worth pursuing.  I’ve attached my business plan for Clickboards geared toward facilitating mGuanxi, as well as my resume for your revue.  Regardless of your wish to accept my plan I would still like to take the same opportunity I did with the magazine and really add some real impact to your up and coming web portal and mobile media which is emerging in Tianjin.  I have already begun to invite my friends to join my contacts on mGuanxi.  


I know all the clients from Jin Magazine and deal with them directly.  I am in charge of getting coupons and discounts to many places.  My frame of mind around advertising is the financial aspect as I got my MBA here in Tianjin.  I look forward to helping you and quite possibly introducing Clickboards to your web portal and mobile media. 


For the best of your consideration,

AC Grindl

Chief Editor 

Jin Magazine

If you guys see my blogs on other sites or rss feeds and don’t visit me here, please come to my site this time and look at the Business Plan page I recently installed.  It details the finances and strategic plan for initiation and the fact that if I had one year I could make this website compete with local magazines.

Although I haven’t figured out my involvement with the industry yet, it will probably be quite minimal. However the influence the Clickboard will have will be revolutionary.

My example comes from my girlfriends iPhone. There is a game on there called the ShakeMate. There is a beautiful girl with work clothes on. You shake the phone the first time and her glasses fall off. Again and again you shake it and articles of clothing fall off. In the end you are happy if you stopped shaking at the right time and a little embarrassed if you kept shaking.

The Clickboard can do the same thing. Each time you click on the ad the little more erotic it gets. This all without having to travel through the website looking at the preview pages. A little here a little there and you really get people interacting and experiencing the website.

Now that I have told you how the porn industry will change with the Clickboard, how will Clickboards.net be involved. First of all this really depends on the user. No information on the Clickboards.net database is for sale to such parties even if desired. So you will probably never see the Clickboard icon on any of those ads. Maybe I will make a side business and seperate website to facilitate the influence of Clickboards, even if it is a shady area. One thing is for sure, the two worlds are separate. I will probably call the website Crankshaft.net and make the icon my beloved Crankshaft logo. If you don’t know what I’m talking about you can go to my Myspace account and look at my photos under logo. I can be found at myspace.com/acgrindl
