Consumers and Creators

Fifty years ago, the ratio was a million to one.

For every person on the news or on primetime, there were a million viewers.

The explosion of magazines brought the ratio to 100,000:1. If you wrote for a major magazine, you were going to impact a lot of people. Most of us were consumers, not creators.

Cable TV and zines made it 10,000 to one. You could have a show about underwater spearfishing or you could teach people to make hamburgers on donuts. The little star is born.

And now of course, when it's easy to have a blog, or an Youtube account or to push your ideas to the world through social media, the ratio might be 100:1. For every person who sells on Etsy, there are a hundred buyers. For every person who actively tweets, there are a hundred people who mostly consume those tweets. For every hundred visitors to Squidoo, there is one new person building pages.

What does the world look like when we get to the next zero?

 

Writing this blog since 2002 has been and continues to be a fun pastime for me.  I'm certainly aware of functioning at that 100:1 level.  It's a select audience who is interested in and willing to read about Lean and why it works and when it doesn't work.

 

So, this post is merely to say a heart-felt "Thank you" to all of you readers!  I appreciate you!!

 

Keep learning.
