Are you ready for this new experiment in my quest for micro-donations?
Several of you have told me that paying $1.50 for one day’s worth of CultureGrrl Links is too cumbersome. You can, of course, streamline matters by creating your own PayPal account (at PayPal.com), so the payment process becomes more efficient, rather than a form-filling nuisance.
But here’s another option:
Using the drop-down menu and the “Buy Now” button at the bottom of any “Lee’s List” post, you can pay $1.50 for the latest batch of links OR $15 for all the links in the current month. During this inaugural phase, I’ll throw in all the links, for your $15, from the time of the August purchase until the end of September. (Such a deal!) After that, the $15 is good for links only during the month for which it’s paid. (With random end-dates throughout the month, the accounting process would become too administratively cumbersome for me.)
This fee-for-service offer is a separate transaction from the beloved (by me) “Donate” button in the middle column. From now on, I’ll throw in the latest day’s links from “Lee’s List” to whoever donates. After that, links must be purchased separately, through the “Buy Now” button.
A reminder: My selected links are, for the most part, not commonly and easily available on other aggregating sites. They’re what I come across in my obsessive scouring of the web, and they’re specifically geared towards the interests of CultureGrrl readers.
So let’s give it a whirl:
Send a micro-donation of either $1.50 (for the day) or $15 (for now through September) via my “Buy Now” button, below, and I’ll shoot you these links:
Museum’s stolen painting returned; planned V&A Dundee, Scotland; Lloyd Webber Picasso lawsuit (two links); Interpol’s new public database for stolen art; Fisk University’s art gallery
At the beginning of October, you’ll need to ante up again for the next month’s links (or you can use the one-day option, whenever the topics tempt you).
Got it? Get it!
