Back when I could afford it, I used to contribute $5 a month to Michael Yon and a couple other writers because I thought that they were doing a worthwhile thing — and I support Chris Muir’s Day By Day strip because his is the very first site I visit, every single day, and as such he deserves my support.
Now, of course, I am but a poor pensioner and can’t do that anymore, which sucks. Now I’m the guy who needs to make some kind of income from my writing.
As threatened in Saturday’s post, here’s the next thing.
Several people have suggested that I set up a subscription service so that Loyal Readers could contribute towards this goal, so over in the Blog Roll on the bottom right of the page, you will see this link:
If you enjoy visiting my back porch regularly, please go there and make a contribution. I’m not asking for large sums of money; for cash flow purposes, I’d actually prefer a monthly sub of just a few dollars, which will also make it easier on your wallets. (For those people (like me) to whom it’s important, note that it’s not through PayPal, because I think those hoplophobes have had enough of my business.)
My daily traffic is nothing like my old website’s, but it’s still high enough that if most of you help me out this way, I won’t have to become a greeter at WalMart or drive drunks home at 3 in the morning with Uber.
Among other things, your support will enable me to go to the SHOT show in Vegas for the first time, and report back on the gunny goodness I find there.
And when my regular monthly income reaches a decent level, I’ll set up a patron-only podcast (frequency TBD) as a reward for your patronage, as an adjunct to Splendid Isolation.
Please note that I have no intention of setting up a paywall on this website: the daily output of (inter alia) snarling invective, beautiful women and gun worship will continue to flow unabated for all to see.
And speaking of beautiful women, allow me to post another finalist for Nigella Lawson’s replacement: Sela Ward.
More of her to follow…
As always, I am grateful for your support.
How about Christina Hendricks?
How about both?
Of interest to me, Christina Hendricks is exactly 1 year older than I am, to the day.
I’ll kick in a few nickels.
“(For those people (like me) to whom it’s important, note that it’s not through PayPal, because I think those hoplophobes have had enough of my business.)”
I appreciate seeing this.
I’ve seen a majority of ‘gun people’ regularly using paypal in the last few years. It seems the boycott is long forgotten, replaced by mere convenience.
Few are interested when I mention it.
For myself: never have, never will.
Quite worth kicking in a little as I do get much entertainment from your writings, Kim.
Kim,
I’d prefer to use PayPal, if you have one.
