Figuring out how many of our (1600+) followers on Twitter actually use their accounts - It's a space we need to occupy, but at what cost? on May 27

Having a hard time reconciling the difference between what advertisers are paying ad networks, and what ad networks are paying websites... Even on highly targeted websites like ours. Does it really cost that much to run an ad network? on May 15

Perhaps as an organisation we just aren't large enough to grab the attention of media buyers & planners. The 'web networks' with several portals seem to be out front. So who is going to buy us out and add Le Gourmet TV to their roster? on May 08

Business model

We are going to generating revenue with brand messaging baked right into the content; kitchen appliances to food and beverage products. The videos are spread across the web video landscape, 'Hyper-Syndicated", as well as on the Le Gourmet TV portal.

 

We just aren't recipes, but deep consumer information about products. In most cases engaging consumers and answering questions that traditional ad media doesn't address.  

 

Competitive advantage

Out there at the front of the pack producing  consistently high quality video, and posting on a regular schedule.
