How to Figure Out What It Means

Basic Instructions is generously sponsored by Bacon, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms Explosives: The blog about livin’ la vida Northern Idaho!

The subscriptions continue to climb, slowly but steadily.

I’ve received far more donations than I ever expected but the big news is the Amazon Affiliate link (US, UK and Canada), which in the first twelve days of this month made more money than my conventional ads did in all of last month.

I’ve said thank you so many times in the last two weeks that I fear the words have lost their meaning, but I’m going to say it one more time. Thank you for the support.

How to Appraise an Antique or Collectable

Slow, steady progress continues on the sponsorship front. At the moment we’re just shy of 30%.

I’m thinking that instead of haranguing you with every single comic I post, I will somehow incorporate the progress bar into the corner of the site and then just harangue you once a week. I’ll probably enact that change sometime next week. In the meantime, please know that your support in the form of subscriptions, use of the Amazon affilate links (US, UK, and CANADA) and donations has been extremely helpful and I really appreciate it.

How to Apply New Insights to an Existing Problem

The website sponsorships start today. Please show the sponsor some love. He seems a good guy, and the whole sponsoring Basic Instructions thing was, in fact, his idea.

The Amazon Affiliate Links (US, UK, Canada) are performing quite well, which actually means that you all are performing quite well. The Affiliate links are an unusual way of getting support in that they cost the reader nothing, but they require the reader to remember to use them. I hope you know I appreciate you keeping me in mind.

Donations are way, way up. I suspect it’s due to readers wanting to support me but not wanting to be saddled with a monthly fee. I can relate to that, and I’m grateful for all the support I have received.

One week after announcing the subscription service, we are well over 25% of the way to our goal!

I expect the progress will be slower from this point on, but I’m thrilled with the speed of our progress so far. I never expected this to be a quick process.

To sum up, the help and support I’ve received in the last week has amazed me, and I continue to be the luckiest person I know.

How to Maximize Your Investment

in

The subscriptions, donations and kind words continue to roll in. I just don't know what to say. I have to admit that yesterday I suffered some self-inflicted writers block. I was like a character in a bad sitcom who thought they were just talking to some guy with a microphone, then they realize they're on live TV and they freeze up.

Luckily, I got over it.

So, at last report we were just over 10% of the way to the goal. I'm amazed to be telling you we're now just over 20% of the way there!!

 Also, thanks to the donations I've been able to perform some minor upgrades to my equipment, and I'm getting in some copies of my first two books so I can start selling signed copies again!

Thanks again for all your support. If you're waiting for me to return an e-mail, please be patient. And please consider either subscribing, donating, sponsoring the site or using the Amazon links (US, UK and CANADA).

How to Break In New Shoes

Folks, … I just don’t know what to say besides thank you, and that I’m still the luckiest guy any of you know. The Basic Instructions Subscription Service has only existed for 48 hours (as of this writing) and we’re well over 10% of the way to our goal of 800 subscribers.

 

Even more amazing has been the number of you who have just donated money. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that there are real people out there who actually read this thing. Thank you all for reminding me in such a great way.

So anyway, thanks for the subscriptions, the donations and for using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, and Canada) and please keep it up!
