Great discussion! I've been pondering this in regards to my brand – my PR business, LHPR, and my http://ChurchTechToday.com blog . . . I think at the core, just like everything else in life, God cares about the heart of the matter. So what's at the core for you? Making more money, or helping people in some beneficial way? For me, I want to make sure that whatever products and services I recommend to churches are really useful and needed. I look for clients to represent that have a unique offering that really makes sense for churches, and isn't something that they don't need.

If it's not something that I myself would use or find valuable, then why would I want to tell others about it? Just for the money – I think not! (although some would disagree).

Also, I feel that being totally up front with your followers is very important. So just the fact that you are wrestling with these topics out in the open on your blog is encouraging. If there was a way to put a star on the tweets that are sponsored, or say it in the tweet, I think that would go a long way in maintaining street cred!

That's just my two cents! Keep us posted on how the Twitter "pay to tweet" is going!

If you get $50 per tweet, I would totally support you. I'm not trying to stop someone from making money, especially when they (like you do, John) offer lots of valuable content.

If you're going to be giving $.618 to God, then go for it! We need to adjust our thought patterns to understand that we are going to have advertisements on the INTERNET. Advertising has been around for a long time. We are able to ignore billboards that don't interest us. We flip past ads in print media without thinking about it. We wear clothing advertising the name of the store as part of the design! In my opinion, if you are able to control what is advertised via your network spaces then do it.
