The goal of storytelling marketing is not just to persuade consumers to buy a product but to plunge them into a narrative world, to involve them in a credible story. It is no longer a matter of seducing or convincing consumers; the point is to produce a belief-effect…The act of buying something actually becomes part of the narrative.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
