We're monetizing!

We wanted to take a minute today and announce that we are officially open for monetization!

Yes, that’s right, boys and girls: The NEST has been doing so very well that we are ready to start offering ad space and other benefits for patrons of the blog. We’ve got a rapidly increasing reader base, and we’ve upped our content to three posts a week…and this means we’ve got to start looking at infrastructure costs (gag) as well as accounting for our blogging time. This is a win-win time for the NEST and for people who run the type of indie and/or green businesses that we love so much here at the Project: Priceless blogs. Here’s a bit of FAQ for you and your friends who may want to purchase some space:

 

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We LOVE indie businesses, but are open to a range of patrons, as long as they tie in with the ‘feel’ of the blog. For instance, a large craft company may have a local branch, and we’d be happy to hear from them because of the DIY-supporting products they sell.

WHAT IS AVAILABLE?

Businesses, vendors, and artisans can get involved in three different ways:

□ A Patron of the Blog, with:

-ad space in the side column

-1 post or giveaway per quarter

-ad linking to latest post (optional)

 □ A Friend of the Blog, with:

-ad space underneath 4 blog posts/month

 □ A Collaborator, with:

-one-off reviews as schedule allows

WHAT’S THE PRICE?

We have a rate card that we’re happy to send out by request. Email us at projectpriceless@gmail.com for more details. We are starting with introductory rates which are 30-50% lower than market rates for this period where we iron out any wrinkles.
