«-- Letter from Matt Bracken Re: Blue Water Sailing as a Retreat Option?, by CMC | Main | Jim's Quote of the Day: --»
Special Note from JWR:
The folks that sell preparedness products
have reported a sales slump for the past several months, as Americans have
gone into "cocooning" mode
and curtailed their discretionary spending. (On everything, it seems, except big
screen televisions.) Consequently, that has meant that several of our advertisers
have scaled back their advertising
budgets.
We presently have room for several more advertisers, including a special "nailed
up" top of the ad stack position--that is, an ad that will stay fixed
above all of the scrolling ads. If
you contact any potential advertisers, please ask them to get
a SurvivalBlog banner ad. My advertising
rates are absurdly low, especially compared to magazine ads. The small
ads are just $55 per month. If
my ad revenues don't recover soon, I
will be forced to go back to a full-time job and I would therefore have
to sharply curtail or perhaps even shut down SurvivalBlog.
(My other sources of income--mostly from book sales and subscriptions--are
not enough to pay even our most essential monthly bills here at the
ranch.) We have just 79 loyal
Ten Cent
Challenge subscribers, representing the nearly
14,000 people that read SurvivalBlog every week. (Subscriptions are
entirely voluntary.) I want to specially thank you folks. You know who you
are. Thank
you very much!
