BTTT JIM SPEAKS OUT! (FReepathon Thread LVII)

FREE REPUBLIC | Thursday, August 25, 2016 | onyx

Today's initial thread has dropped from BREAKING NEWS so I'm using this rare opportunity to hopefully make more of y'all aware of the importance of Donating Monthly!





MONTHLY DONORS
(Just the Facts)

I donate in 2 payments per year very close to the amount that $10.00 a month would bring.

Why is monthly better?

On an individual basis like that, it’s hard to see a difference. But, in general, the larger the Monthly total, the quicker the fundraiser.

For example, if we could get our Monthly figure over $15,000 then they would represent $45,000 total for the quarter. That’s over half of our goal.

If my math is correct, with $15,000 in Monthlies, we could possibly be ending our fundraisers in under 30-40 days every quarter.

If we have a new fundraiser starting with a goal of $88,000 and it gets to about $30,000 (in three weeks or so) we could accrue the $45,000 in Monthlies and our new total would be $75,000 and there’d be only about $13,000 left to go.

With a big push we could probably raise that in a week to ten days and we’re done.

In other words, at $15,000 per month in Monthlies, our fundraisers would complete in half the time they take now.

If we could get to $20,000 per month in Monthlies they’d probably take less than three weeks to complete.

*If we could get to $30,000 per month in reliable Monthlies, we wouldn’t need fundraisers at all.

Currently, we have about 630 Monthlies totaling approx $11,000 per month or about $17.50 per monthly donation.

To get to $15,000 in Monthlies we’d need to keep those we have and add about 225 New Monthly Donors at about the same average.

A lofty goal, but doable.

I swear to God on a stack of Bibles that today is now FRIDAY
here in the Eastern Daylight time, and it is 12:13 a.m. as
we speak! LOLOLOL!

And I have to get to bed post haste, since Bryan’s alarm goes
off at 5 a.m. See you soon, my beautiful, darling friend.

[onyx]

I’ve sent a return mail (I think). Don’t bother till morning or afternoon. I must go to that store NOW before it’s dangerously late.

[onyx]

Thank you, beautiful Darling!
Now I know for certain!
I still have some Thursday remaining, out here on the Left coast.
Good night, God bless and keep you.

[LeoWindhorse]

I’m monthly , for some time now

Be PROUD of your Little Rhody! I know it’s a YUGE demonic-rat state, but my mother was from R.I. (Warren), so RI is always sort of special in my heart.

Thanks very much again for becoming a NEW MONTHLY DONOR!!!

Hi dearest onyx. So sorry you are having trouble with AT&T U-VERSE. I don't know what speed you signed up for (3Mbps, 6Mbps, etc.) but please try running their speed test Here's the link! a couple of times.

If it's substantially slower than what you paid for, they should identify the slow down problem and get you up to speed.

[deoetdoctrinae]

Good morning!
