Media Appearances of Greg Tingle

Even with compelling content and a niche market, companies are still struggling to make ends meet. I was formally with a competitor of sorts to Coastal Watch, and they are not doing it easy, despite their flag ship streaming media site gaining mainstream coverage on commercial TV, in prime-time! One must ask, what does it take? In most cases, the website has to compliment the real business at hand, not the website be the income generator / main business revenue model, as time and experience has demonstrated, that is what actually works! Someone has to be willing to pay, but few do, as there are just so many companies giving away content etc for nothing. That's where the intenet business has gone AWOL.
