I mentioned in my last blog post how much I love the traffic exchange industry, well today it put an even bigger smile on my face and here’s something that I LOVE and support with every ounce of my being.

As you folks know, we’ve been promoting the Traffic Exchanges Care charity and along with the awesome members of this community and stand up guys like Carl Bailey we have been able to raise over $5700 for water charity since we started…Well today I just learned of another fantastic initiative from the ladies of the traffic exchange industry and I’m looking forward to raising a lot of awareness for this important issue…

TE Ladies 4 Charity is an initiative from the ladies at Hot Flash Hits along with some of their close friends in the industry. They are raising awareness for breast cancer and have lots of cool things planned for the month of October which is the national breast cancer awareness month.

I LOVE this!!! And I cannot support this enough. So do share the link today and for the entire month of October and let’s show them once again how much the traffic exchange industry cares. Awesome sauce on so many levels!!!

I made a statement last night in T3 (which was an awesome event by the way) that a lot of people may be scratching their heads about this morning. First let me get the ‘obvious’ out of the way.

Yes, TimTech is a for-profit company. We are feeding our families with the money we make. I do not hide that fact and never will. I’m what I call a social capitalist who remembers where I came from and what it took to get here. So yes, I’m going to be trying to make some sales. I make no apologies for that, it is a business.

HOWEVER, and this is the big one…Before we make a penny online. Before we sell an upgrade, or offer a credit special to the attendees of our events, we’re about people first. So the formula for TimTech has been…People first, profits second.

I don’t spend 4 hours a day surfing with members and 2 hours a day sometimes even more in live chat for the benefit of my health. While some companies like to automate their support, hire staff to ‘talk to members’ we are in the trenches every day. We are surfers. We are advertisers. We are dreamers!

We do this, not because we have to. Because we want to and we WANT to be involved, hands on, in our business and community. And will do anything we can to provide the best service to our members. It’s a crazy idea huh? Putting the members before anything else.

We’ve been told that being social is a fad, we’ve been told that it’s a waste a time and there are ‘more important things we could be doing’…And we completely disagree. When you put the people before your bottom line, something amazing happens…You start making money.

It’s not sexy. It’s not immediate and for people thinking about this new formula, it takes months if not years to develop your community. But it pays off. And I wouldn’t change a thing!

Sorry if you were looking for the magic ‘button’..It doesn’t exist. All that is here is hard work, a caring attitude and passion. Everything else, falls into place.
