Sponsors | Ads up, but my donations are way down

With one week to go before the end of the month, Gannett Blog's advertising revenue has jumped significantly higher. Contributions are way down, however.

Over the past month, I've received just $113 from readers. Indeed, most of the combined $1,390 in donations since this quarter started April 1 came from a single, very generous reader, who contributed $1,000 entirely on their own. (Thank you again!) Even with that extraordinary gift, I've reached only half my quarterly goal. Here's the breakdown:
  • Advertising: $670
  • Contributions: $1,390
So, with that as background . . .

I'm trying to earn $4,000 quarterly, mostly through sponsorships of $5 per reader, plus limited ad sales. Please use the "Donate" tool in the green rail, upper right. Or mail cash/checks payable to: Jim Hopkins, 584 Castro St. #823, San Francisco, Calif., 94114-2594.

  1. The person who donated $1,000 could beat Jim in a crazies contest. That is saying a lot, as Jim was dismissed from Gannett for having the mental stability of a rabid dog.

  2. To anonymous, I would say that a COWARD who does not put his on name on what they wrote, has the mental stability of the foam that comes out of a rabid dog mouth.

  3. Then most of the people here are in that category.

  4. I'll afraid not Anonymous, only the ones who are cowards, that do not publish their names?

    It is just a login. You can fake you're name so don't pretend to be all high and mighty over not posting as anonymous.
