Re: Paula Deen Fired
Yeah, I'm not seeing this as a net benefit, either. The same seems to be true of most of her business partners
You never know. The internet has created a great resource for independent guerrilla-style marketing where even people like Adam Carrola have been able to relaunch a flagging career and even become innovators in the market place.
But if I was putting my money where my mouth was, the safe bet is that her best days are behind her
However, the idea that she's going to do "better than ever" because she said the n-word is hard to swallow. She does have a loyal fan base, but I doubt that her vocabulary has added to it. The people who are buying her book are people who were going to buy the book anyway. They pre-ordered her book to show support, but they were going to buy it anyway. No one is buying the book simply because she said the n-word. IOW, it doesn't represent any increase in income.

Her being dropped from FN is a big blow. It was a platform that kept her in the public eye, and gave her the opportunity to promote her products. Though she keep many, or even most of her endorsements, it's going to be harder for her to get additional endorsements going into the future.
