A Small Advertising Idea with a Bigger Purpose

 The $1-a-Day Advertising Experiment

This is a little different from my usual AI articles. But I think it belongs here.

Behind AI123.ca is not only my interest in artificial intelligence, but also a simple question:

At this stage of my life, what can I still create that may be useful to others?

I would like to share a simple idea I have been thinking about.

I call it The $1-a-Day Advertising Experiment.

For the first 100 small businesses, I would like to offer a simple online advertising promotion for C$365 for one year.

That works out to just C$1 a day.

It is simple for both the business owner and me.

Why $1 a day?

I know running a small business in today's economy is difficult.

Many small businesses need exposure, but traditional advertising can be expensive. My simple and affordable alternative:

C$365 for one year. One payment. Simple advertising.

But there is another reason I am doing this.

I am looking for something meaningful to do—something useful, simple, and enjoyable.

I am an 80-year-old grandfather. I have two blogs, AI123.ca and Grandpa Journey, where I explore, learn, write, and share what I discover.

That led me to another question:

What can I still create that may be useful to others?

Whatever income I may eventually earn from my blogs and this project, I would like to donate it to La Salle College HK, a school that changed my life.

A small advertisement with a bigger purpose

So this little $1-a-day advertising experiment has a bigger purpose for me.

If it helps a small business get noticed, that is good.

If it creates some income that can be given to others, that is even better.

Then I will feel that it was worthwhile.

I would rather leave behind an example:

Keep learning.
Keep creating.
Help where you can.
Give when you have enough.

That is really what this idea is about.

A small advertisement experiment.
A simple C$365 annual advertising.
A little help for small businesses.
And something good that continues beyond me.

Warmly,

每天一加元的广告实验

这篇文章和我平时写的人工智能文章有一点不同，但我觉得，它同样属于这里。

AI123.ca 背后的故事，不只是我对人工智能的兴趣，还有一个很简单的问题：

在人生的这个阶段，我还能创造些什么，去帮助别人？

最近，我一直在思考一个简单的想法。

我把它称为 「每天一加元的广告实验」。

我想为最初的 100 家小型企业提供一个简单的网上广告推广计划，一年收费 C$365。

换算下来，每天只需要 C$1。

对企业老板来说简单，对我来说也简单。

为什么是每天一加元？

我知道，在今天的经济环境下，经营一家小企业并不容易。

许多小企业需要更多曝光，让顾客认识他们，但传统广告往往价格不菲。

所以，我想提供一个简单、负担得起的选择：

C$365 一年。一次付款。简单的网上广告。

但我这样做，还有另外一个原因。

我正在寻找一些有意义的事情去做——一些有用、简单，而且让我感到开心的事情。

我是一个 80 岁的爷爷。我有两个博客，AI123.ca 和 Grandpa Journey。在那里，我不断探索、学习、写作，并把自己发现的东西分享出来。

这又让我回到了另一个问题：

我还能创造些什么，去帮助别人？

无论将来我的博客和这个小项目能够带来多少收入，我都希望把这些收入捐给 香港喇沙书院（La Salle College HK）——一所曾经改变我人生的学校。

一个小广告，一个更大的意义

所以，对我来说，这个小小的**「每天一加元广告实验」**，其实有着更大的意义。

如果它能够帮助一家小企业获得更多关注，那很好。

如果它还能创造一些收入，并最终帮助到其他人，那就更好了。

那样，我会觉得这一切是值得的。

我更希望自己留下的是一个简单的例子：

继续学习。
继续创造。
能帮忙的时候，就尽力帮助别人。
当自己有余力的时候，就给予别人。

这才是这个想法真正的意义。

一个小小的广告实验。
一个简单的 C$365 年度广告计划。
一点对小企业的帮助。
以及一些能够在我离开之后继续产生意义的好事。

温暖地，
