Sunday Sermon: Would you pay to read this stuff?



In the top of the right hand column is now a contribute button.

Don't worry I'm not going to force anyone into subscription fees, or some sort of pay per view arrangement, primarily because I don't think anyone would pay them. Rightly so too, it's also highly cheeky and not the sort of thing I'd like to get involved in. I'm under no illusions here that what I do reaches a limited number of people, and maybe only a smattering of them will think what I do is worth anything at all, and at best only half of them might be willing to contribute anything. But, I've been having a chat with a fair few people who have said they'd actually like to contribute some money to my Blog to:

  1. Say thanks for the effort I put into my articles.
  2. Say thanks for all the impartial advice I give out in the comments sections, as well as my artilces.
  3. Pay to ensure I will still do more review / opinion / painting / whatever articles.
  4. To help me out with my running costs with the Blog, because I am now incurring running costs.

Now I have to be brutally honest here, it wasn't something I'd actually thought of at all. So having somebody else say "hey Frontline Gamer I appreciate what you do, and would like to chuck some money your way to say thanks and to support you" was a bit bizarre. I've sat on this suggestion now for a few months, 6 to be precise, and in that time more people have contacted me to say it's a shame there's not a 'donate button', or a way I can make money out of my Blog. This suggestion has come up an awful lot. I'm sure many of you know only too well that I'm currently still unemployed, and as such am totally skint. This presents me with a number of problems, not least of which is paying the mortgage! But, for the moment we (Dr Brainiac and I) have got that just about covered at least. No, more importantly people like reading my reviews and articles, and given the current state of my finances I'm not really able to 'review' as many things as I'd like to. Plus, I dedicate a lot of my time to not only writing this Blog, but also communicating with everyone and answering questions, and it would be nice for that to be recognised, so I can keep on doing it.

Ensure Tybalt has more stuff to test to destruction.
