Online Customer Base ... and the Elusive Single Bi Fem x

A Quarter of a Million Viewers in the past 5 years !!

I actually started the blog way back in 2011 just as -Art By Valerio's- The Arts Hole …. was evolving into '' the Valerio Institute for Alternative Learning ''

but due to the damaging nature of the recourse with our local authority .. I spent very little time with it ! and I think in the first five years of it going live .. I maybe got 1000 hits

then around 2014 … just before '' The Arts Hole On Tour - Why Knot / Why Not ? - pop up experiment in the Netherlands I started to use it a little more frequently as a means of adding testimony to the bizarre mix of adventures I get away with under the single guise of ' Art '

and Low and behold here we are just 5 years on from the ' measurable date ' and abso -bloody -lutley  … a Quarter of A million viewers … not just views ! but actual virtual I.D / I.P related engagements …

I recall a time when myself and my first wife were having a passing curiousity about some of the new online ' networking ' options

and we would spend a little bit of time online and in the chatrooms of various fetish / kink / swinger sites …

and the blog to me , well pretty much all of this online interaction stuff … facebook especially … has a kind of obsessive sense to it … I know lots of people are now advocating the harm that it actually does do … and this I suppose would be my testament in accord !

you see you can sit there in front of the screen … with the promise that your ideal audience is just the other side of it … just a mere click away !

so you put in some time, you write up some schpeel …. and take a few complimentary photo's …

then you cast the line

and wait with a mix of anxiety , trepidation and excitement for one of those elusive , single , bi fe males to wander into the chatrooms

and of course they do …. thousands of them , its quite unbelievable , and most of them are fucking sensational !!

little digital exchanges begin and the odd titillating mention of a possible meet ….

and then low and behold … flash of light and whisp of smoke and gone !! oh well no matter … the place is brimming with them on with the chase …

carrot chasing donkey much ?? after a while you just start to have fun with it … well we did anyway !! we were fortunate enough to fulfil a fantasy or two … but very little of that came from any of our premeditated online encounters … a couple sure , but back then we were both pretty leen and fit .. quite a catch ? lol

but I do think in the back of my mind about the people that didn't manage to get a meet …..

from what I understand it reductive circles of desperation/ boredom and depression  have driven millions  from the chatrooms of tinder into the marginal fringe of Grinder … and then what ? then where do they go ?

and online marketing is much the same !!

don't get me wrong … maybe I have garnered an actual sale out of that audience of a quarter of a million …. but there is no way to be sure … especially if you are as uninterested in these digital interactions as me ….

but if I stand out on a street corner on a busy sunny day with a few renderings … 9 times out of ten I will be able to sell a little daub or two … for sure someone will buy me a beer and have a chat …. maybe I will even bump into that elusive bi fem ( not that I am even looking these days )…. but of course I'm not Dead either …..

the point is kids …. all this online stuff is all well and good ! but its a bit like your c.v


no one really wants to look at it … but its handy to have in case any one asks

don't get to wrapped up in all this ethereal make-believe or you will find you will have amassed far more wasted time than you have customers
