Someone, who obviously does not bother reading CBO, suggested that I ought to try Patreon to get funding to continue with the blog and produce more new material and videos.
It was a well intentioned suggestion but there is a problem with it. Some 15,000 people visited CBO last month (July). And that is the artificially low Blogger figures. You look to the right of this page you will see a PayPal box for people to donate to the ongoing work of CBO. In 3(?) years not a penny has dropped.
I do not like free money. I have always said that people who enjoy the blog can support it by buying books from the online store then they get something for their money. However, someone I know suggested the donation box.
With 15,000 people last month ignoring it I think that proves a point. If people will not buy books to support my work and do not donate then I doubt very much that anyone out there gives a cussing damn about a Patreon being set up.
With everything Patreon involves it would be a lot of time and effort to keep seeing £00.00 -I get that with the PayPal donation box! :-)
So, no, I will not be trying Patreon as I am failing on every attempt to finance things -No one is interested...unless I was an attractive cosplayer offering T&A Not Safe For Work "specials" -oh yes they do and if you do not know that then you are blinkered.
Hmm...would anyone be interested if I...
NO! There is enough scary stuff in the world.
So, unless you are just a taker, please do consider buying books or donating. And it is okay -I am not holding my breath :-) :-)
