I
started RunToGold
because friends and family suggested I start a website and I got tired of explaining
the issues to them. Daily thousands of people consume information from
the site or podcast. There are costs associated with
running the website. Additionally, I would like to take the site to the
next level, making it easier to read, search, and use but that will require
some serious professional expertise.
NEW
MEDIA MONETIZATION
There
are many ways for blogs and other new media platforms to be monetized.
One
way is to introduce intrusive, annoying
and distracting advertisements. I loathe websites monetized
this way.
Another
way is to pay a subscription fee like the Wall Street Journal’s
$1.99/week.
Still
another way is to purchase products. These can range from physical
t-shirts to digital ebooks, mp3s or videos. A few months ago I asked if there was any demand for a
45-50 page foundational document for much of the theory which undergirds my
writings. I received several responses from loyal readers including:
“I
was able to make it out to the Cambridge House Conference on Sunday and will
say that your individual presentation was by far the highlight of the day
… I know I would love to be notified should you ever get around to
doing something of the sort. I agree with you on the fact that finding
out about the details on topics such as debt-based currency, money creation
etc. is quite the process as it involves a great deal of site-surfing and
picking up snippets of information here and there.” – Derrick
“Great
presentation at the Cambridge House Gold Show. You were one of the best
speakers. Could you make that Summary Report available?” –
Carl
“Would
love to read a foundational document if you have the time/energy/desire to
create one. Great work on this blog. Thank you!” –
Adam
“I
really enjoyed your presentation at the Cambridge House Investment
Conference. Thank you for staying around as long as you did for the
Q&A period. It really helped me to cement the ideas. I
thought your presentation was definitely the highlight of the conference.
The foundational document you speak of would be extremely useful and
would be much appreciated. Thank you.” – James
After
a couple hundred hours and thousands of dollars for a sharp editor and highly
skilled designer The Great Credit Contraction is now available for sale.
If sales justify the expenses then additional products will likely be
released. Please support your trusted friendly neighborhood blogger by
purchasing a copy and help take RunToGold to the next level.
