Sydney Spectaculars is now on Frontcover!
After over a decade, our site has now reached the point where we need to earn revenue in order to provide further coverage of Sydney’s major events without losing existing popular content. Therefore, Sydney Spectaculars has joined Frontcover.
We want to still keep our content as free as possible but in order to do that, we need donations. Initially, we were going to request a donation of 5 cents per year per visitor but due to technology limitations, it will have to be a minimum donation of 65 Australian cents per year. Out of our annual site visitation, we estimate 9% of our visitors to end up contributing 65 Australian cents compared to 100% if it was just 5 cents per year.
To donate, head to our Frontcover page. Then, click ‘Support’, sign up to Frontcover & then follow the prompts to donate. You can donate any amount but it is a minimum of 65 cents regardless. We, unfortunately, cannot make it any lower. A processing fee rounds up the full cost to 1 Australian dollar. A tip to the Frontcover platform is completely optional.
We are initially raising funds in order to fund an expansion of our storage so we can continue to add imagery to our posts. Unfortunately, we have ran out of storage to continuing providing imagery on our posts even after deleting unnecessary existing media & keeping imagery to the minimum requirements in terms of pixels. This is why there have been no posts since March (though luckily, no super major news has broken in that time).
If we find we are not raising sufficient funds to cover this cost, we will have to remove old content in order to publish new content, at least in the short term.
If you donate more than 65 cents, contact us if you have a suggestion on where you want the extra funds to go.
In regards to Frontcover, you may have seen that our (rather empty) page is called Sydney Spectaculars Society. We have plans to expand in the very near future so sign up to Frontcover through our page & stay tuned!
…but for now, in the short term, 65 Australian cent donations are appreciated.
