Your Wise Advice
|
 |
Readers: Please
help SeniorARK
find a single
sponsor or donor.
SeniorARK needs
very little per
month to pay the
bills. We operate
very frugally.
Since our site
began in November,
2005, we have not
generated one cent
of revenue. This
was done by
design, so that
you could be
assured that what
we say is truly
independent.
We have never had
to to promote or
please any
commercial or
political
interest, because
we owe them
nothing. We have
only owed the best
information we can
present for our
Senior readers.
But at this stage
we must do
something to
generate some
revenue. We have
had to buy
additional
software, and a
newer, more
powerful,
computer, along
with peripheral
equipment.
As
volunteers we are
a little proud of
the website we
have put together,
now getting
between
well over 100,000
hits per month.
A solid foundation
has been laid, and
the site is ready
to roar! But we
know that it needs
polish. Our format
is too cumbersome
for those with
older computers or
dialup internet
service. We need
professional help
to streamline
things.
What we are
ideally
seeking is a
single, private or
commercial
donor/sponsor.
This might be a person
with funds who
wishes to support,
perhaps
anonymously, the
only truly
independent Senior
site on the web.
Or perhaps a
generic commercial
sponsor, like
Coke, or a hybrid
car, or Kraft
Foods, or some
similar
enterprise. We can
put their logo, or
small ad, on every
one of our
HUNDREDS of
pages. We think
that arrangements
like these would
allow us to remain
independent, and
avoid those pesky
ads that run down
the sides of pages
on so many Senior
sites. We have
been approached by
senior dating
services,
retirement
community chains,
and a couple other
enterprises we
would rather keep
at arms length, at
this time.
SeniorARK is a a
not-for-profit
site, but not a
licensed
non-profit site,
so at this point a
direct private
contribution to
SeniorARK would
not be a
charitable tax
deduction. We
could file to
become an official
non-profit
organization if
the donor needs
this deduction. If you
know of someone,
or some company
who might feel
proud to sponsor SeniorARK, please
ask them to look
us over, and
contact us. This
would be a golden
opportunity for a
commercial
advertiser, at a
very low cost, to
get very good
exposure to a key
segment of their
market.
We have been
blessed by our
effort to help you
survive
retirement, and
hope you have been
as well..
