New Idea - Email Newsletters
birdcamfan:
I understand from those who have had to drum up advertising that it is a painful chore. The small fee is a great idea, much less onerous.

They have an update of upcoming related events which I find very useful as well as a topic of interest..a bit of a news article really. It looks like a lot of work but it has garnered some advertising interest and is self sustaining that way.

Glad you mentionned the newsletter you receive, in the same way that that newsletter needs to find some advertisers, I'm hoping the small annual subscription fee will cover the costs of the service which will hopefully make it not quite so very labour-intensive as it would be if I were to do it all myself now. :)
Kinderchick:
Thanks once again for answering all of my questions, TPC! :-* So glad to hear that the Forum will remain pretty much as is, with room for questions & answers. :)

So are you saying that if & when you put out a Newsletter, you would no longer answer any questions that folks might have on your Manitoba Falcon Forum?

No, the forum is for updates, questions, whatever. The newsletters would just be updates. Most folks who follow the peregrines do not visit the Forum. Some are on the CBC falcon cam site, but more just watch the cams and some just rely on the e-updates I send a few times a year. The newsletters would replace the e-updates and would be available to/for everyone and anyone who is interested. It will be another source of information, it won't be replacing anything we already have going.

--- End quote ---
Nope, Forum is for questions. Newsletter is just that, an update, no questions. With the Forum we have one place where folks can ask questions if they need/want to. If folks just want to know what is going on then they have the forum, the blog, the webcam updates (new last year) and if I go ahead with the newsletters, they will have the newsletters as well.
Hope that helps to clear up some of the confusion. :)
