[meteorite-list] New paid Ad program for the mailing list - starts4/7/2014

Hi Art,

I completely support your advertising requirements, and Thank You for 
finding a way to keep your forum to continue. One thing I would like to 
suggest, please accept payment by check as PayPal will take their fees from 
you and I really do not like that!!

Best Regards,
Greg

Good Evening;

If you never advertise on the list you can disregard this email!  If you do 
advertise please read below:

Beginning Monday, April 7, 2014 I will be implementing a paid advertising 
program for the Meteorite Mailing List.  I've been working on a program like 
this for quite a while now but have been struggling with the best way to do 
it.  I think I've come up with an approach that's both simple and 
affordable.  My goal isn't to make a lot of money,  but rather to cover the 
costs associated with Meteorite Mailing List and the related websites.   I'd 
also like to cut down on the total number of Ads that appear on the list on 
any given day,  which I think is better in the long run for both advertisers 
and subscribers  (i.e. improve the signal to noise ratio).  Hopefully this 
new program will improve everyone's list experience.

Here's how it will work
------------------------------
Ads can be purchased one at a time or in bulk, and payment can be made 
through PayPal.  The 1 Ad per week limit and the current policy regarding no 
image attachments will remain (see policies below).  I am considering 
allowing images under a certain and also some type of Ad credit for relevant 
posts but I need to work on those ideas a bit more.   Also, as the majority 
of members aren't dealers, but may want to sell something every now and 
then, everyone will be provided with 2 Ad credits (free ads) to be used 
during the year.

Meteorite List Ad Rates
------------------------------------
- One-off Advertising cost
    * Per Ad price - $4 via PayPal

- Bulk Advertising options (Pre-paid Ads)
    * 12 ads
           $35 - Single payment via PayPal ($2.92 per ad)
    * 52 ads
           $125 - Single payment via PayPal ($2.40 per ad)

Payment won't be required before a One-off Ad is placed, but should be made 
within 1 day.  Payment for the Bulk Ad options is expected prior to placing 
the first Ad.   I'll be adding a page to the Meteorite Central website with 
payment links each option listed above.

Mailing List ad-related policies
------------------------------------
     - 1 Ad per week limit
     - Plain text emails only
     - No image attachments
     - 60k email size limit
     - 2 Ad credits per member (to be used during the year)
     - Failure to pay for Ads placed on the list will result in member 
removal.

Please feel free to send me an off-list email if you have any comments, 
suggestions, or questions.


Best Regards and Happy Hunting/Collecting!
