Mission of Creativity |
As proprietor of DREAMWalker
Group, it is
Michael Walker's desire to express a deep sense of gratitude for all the
good that has entered and continues to enter his life. To do this, he has created a
free site that
offers web profiles to creative people and provides a “one stop”
venue for creative information and creative, spirit-based support. Insofar
as this is a free site, he is also hopeful that this site will eventually
become self-supporting. To make this a possibility, visitors to the site
are encouraged to buy at least one item a year through the
Amazon.com and
other affiliate links*.
(*Note: If every amazing person
currently listed on this site bought just one item using the Amazon
Amazon.com search boxes, DREAMWalker Group would earn enough money to
keep this free site up and running for about one and a half years!).

Pledge to Share Prosperity |
DREAMWalker Group is
a free site. We believe that charging creative people for their
profiles is unwarranted. It is our primary purpose to give
back to this brilliant, inspired, and inspirational community for all the wonderful
things they’ve created and continue to create.
Insofar as giving is good;
receiving is also a nice thing. As is the maintenance of a
standard of living that is conducive to happy creativity. So as
part of its mission to give and receive, DREAMWalker Group
hereby promises the following:
To give back to the
literary community a full 40% of all money earned from DREAMWalker Group. (We haven't decided
how best to do that just yet, but it will no doubt be in the way of
several scholarships or prizes to current and future brilliant,
creative folks and to supporting the literary/artistic community in
other ways.)
-
To give back to the
literary community 40% of my commissions from
sales on this site. So far I'm a sponsor of Saints and
Sinners Literary Festival and the Lambda Literary Foundation
-- and with your help can do a lot more!
If everybody on my site bought just one book (using the
Amazon search engine on the left side of every page), it
would pay for the site upkeep and some literary causes for a
couple of years; if they bought all their books through this
site -- well, we could totally save, sponsor, and provide
prizes and scholarships to more people in the literary
world! (Take a peek at our income from this site.)
-
A full accounting of
money earned and given away will be provided at
Our
Life is An Open Book.
To recap: Once we pass the $100,000 mark (per year), DREAMWalker
Group will give back to the community a full 40% of
all additional money earned via this site.
This means that
- Out of every
$100,000 earned DREAMWalker
Group will give back $40,000.00 to the creative
community;
-
Out of every $1,000,000 earned, DREAMWalker
Group will give back
$400,000.00; and
- Out of every $10,000,000
earned, DREAMWalker Group will give back
$4,000,000.00.
Etc. |
Who will benefit
most from this?
-
The brilliant,
creative folks who continue to get free publicity and exposure
via this continually growing and popular website.
-
Their publishers who
can run free ads at the site – once they agree to provide
cross links to DREAMWalker Group or free advertising in
return.
-
DREAMWalker
Group’s proprietor (Michael Walker).
Possibly freed from the burden of
working a day job, he’ll have more time and money to use in
maintaining this site.
-
Amazon.com – Out of
351 referrals in 2007, DREAMWalker Group earned $304.12 and
Amazon.com brought in a whopping $5,756.71). Just do the
math!
