In order to maintain a blog that you've come to appreciate; the stories you look forward to; the raw and honest takes you will NOT get anywhere else, I need money to keep 415 Media fluid.
I'll be blunt:
I need your donations. Some of you have already donated, some of you, multiple times and while I appreciate all your support, it's not enough.
415 Media is an independent 24/7 blog that is NOT beholden to advertisers and allows me, its author, its creator, its producer, the financial means to put out fresh content DAILY. If you come here and like what you read and see, for the most part, I NEED YOUR HELP. I need DONATIONS, any amount is helpful. Just a tiny fraction of the literally thousands of you that come here daily make a donation, would guarantee 415 Media long term stability and END pledge breaks. I know you hate them but I need them to live and breathe.
Your $upport keeps 415 Media up and running; allows me to pay my bills and breathe a little. I know it's a difficult time for you but it's also a difficult time for me too.
PLEASE HELP ME. By doing so you will help SUPPORT the Bay Area #1-read and ONLY 24/7 Media blog. If you donate, I will personally call and/or e-mail you thanking you for your donation.
Without your help, 415 Media is kaput. It's as simple as that.
TO DONATE: simply click on the Pay Pal icon on the right side of the blog and follow directions. It's simple and easy. ALL donations are 100% confidential and you do not have to have a Pay Pal account to contribute.
Thanks for your past and future help.
Please keep 415 Media sustainable by DONATING NOW.
UPDATE: 1: 39 PM
I've received some contributions and I than you all; if we can get about 15 more donations and/or paid subscriptions of $25 or more, we can make it through the month and not have any more pledge breaks. Out of 50,000 hits, that's not asking much.
PLEASE HELP.
And again, THANK YOU for your SUPPORT!

Rich, some of us are reluctant to send money to what may be a losing operation. Can you assure us you'll be around for a while?
ReplyDeleteI'll be happy to donate once you stop censoring comments. If you want to censor nonsensical comments or profanity-laced diatribes to ensure the comments section doesn't devolve into anarchy, that's one thing. The fact that you censor comments that prove you incorrect or hypocritical while still remaining polite leaves me unwilling to contribute, despite you previously posting that you would stop censoring polite, yet disagreeable comments.
ReplyDeleteI'm with both 12:33 and 12:50. You beg for money, then disappear for a week. And you won't post comments critical of you or your story lines. Yes, it is your blog. You write it. You edit it. You own it. But it is a business. If you want us to pay for a daily service, you have to provide that daily service. And, as long as no one is calling you names, you owe it to your readers to present opposing views.
ReplyDeleteAgree completely with 12:50 above.
ReplyDeleteYou people, comments 1-4 are embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteDo you think he is going to run off to the Cayman Islands with all your money, at $25 a head?
Nope. Governmant Island, most likely. Brooks Island, maybe...Mare Island is in the mix...so is Bethel Island...
DeleteAgree with 5:41. Come on guys (and ladies, too); it's a daily read for most of us. Personally, I enjoy the comments almost as much as Rich's info; but face it, Rich is still the king of local media. Do it quarterly, it keeps the page going and doesn't hurt as much...Bajadoc
