When I think about creating new income streams beyond ad revenue, what really excites me is using Roku’s interactive features to build deeper audience engagement. It’s not just about getting people to watch it’s about inviting them to interact, visit your website, and ideally become clients. That’s why I enjoy collaborating on this, because it’s all about connection and value. Curated by Martin R. Ricketts Initially, when Karen and I talked about ad revenue, we focused on the CPM model, which is already strong. But I wanted to go a step further and make the content interactive with QR codes. Most people just drop a QR code linking to their site, which makes it about them but it should really be about the viewer. The goal is to create a frictionless way for people to connect, share their info, and receive genuine value in return. As long as the mindset is “how can we give value to the audience,” you’re on the right track. QR codes are just the tool that makes it possible. People are comfortable scanning them now — they’re everywhere, from YouTube to late-night TV. Funny enough, I actually wrote an article about using QR codes back in 2012. I guess I was a bit ahead of the curve, but now the timing couldn’t be better. Do Work You Love. Monetize Your Story.

I want to bring my TV and video content to streaming platforms because that’s where today’s audiences choose to watch—on demand, across devices, and without the limits of traditional broadcast schedules. Streaming allows my content to reach a broader national audience while telling deeper, more authentic stories centered on real people, real homes, and real transformations. With my background as a contractor since 1998 and a TV, radio, and podcast host, streaming provides the ideal platform to combine credibility, entertainment, and education while building long-term audience engagement and sponsor value.

What was your favorite parts of the weekend? I really enjoyed meeting @Stephen Deubel for the firsttime in person today! Also hanging for a bit with Marc of OnTheMarcTV! I got a shirt video of part of his presentation... it's now in the classroom here. Enjoyed gardening, the big game, time with friends, and worship this morning. What from the weekend is giving you a boost or flowing into the week?
