Buy an optional Gannett Blog subscription for someone special today, and you'll get a bonus: I won't hit you up again until the start of the next quarterly fundraising drive (har!).I'm trying to earn $6,000 quarterly, through voluntary subscriptions of $5 per reader; advertising contributes just a tiny share. With just nine days left in the quarter, I've raised $4,642 -- 77% of my goal. The breakdown:
- Subscriptions: $3,390
- Advertising: $1,252
To buy a voluntary $5 subscription, please use the "Donate" tool in the green sidebar, upper right. Or, send checks/cash to: Jim Hopkins, 584 Castro St. #823, San Francisco, Calif. 94114-2594.
FORK IT UP, PEOPLE. Really. You like this stuff? You've got to fund it to keep it in place.
ReplyDeleteJim, you need LEVELS of giving. How about a free Dubow shirt for anyone who gives $50 or more. Or a Martore bobblehead, etc. Monetize it, baby!
ReplyDeleteIn an e-mail, a reader writes this morning: "This is the second time I'm donating -- I figure $50 here is better than another crappy gift for my kids."
ReplyDeleteThank you!
how about setting up a store on cafepress with a "gannett blog" logo? it can generate some cash for you and it's free to set up.
ReplyDeleteI like the bobble head Idea. I'd definately need one.
ReplyDeleteJim
ReplyDeleteI am a sincere fan of what you are doing. Good luck!!
As you might know - I fundraise for independent journalists at spot.us as well.
If there is ever any reporting you want to do here in the Bay Area that you think we can fundraise for - I'd be honored.
