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.

Freepathons SUCK. And they definitely should not last as long as they do.

END FREEPATHONS. GIVE MONTHLY.

C’mon, any of you who read this can’t afford $10 per month?!

[onyx]

I’d keep yours the same.
No use in causing extra trouble for yourself.
Thank you very much, dearest eyeamok.

[Salvation]

Hooray for all those monthlies.

[onyx]

What the hell day is today?
LOL.

[piytar]

I am so angry that California out donates Texas. Will personally fix that if one of my three current deals close!

But come on Texans! Buck up!

[onyx]

The aim is to get 300 Members donating $400 yearly.

[onyx]

[3D-JOY]

This was a TRUMP Day in New Hampshire...Glad we have a donation to match!

[Salvation]

It's in the 90s again here. Thinking of how wonderful it would be to have a swimming pool.

Help keep the FreeRepublic site by being a monthly donor.

[Jim W N]

How many FReepers we got?

How many are donating $10 per month?

What would it take to get a total of 3000 FReepers to donate $10 per month?

No more FReepathons.

[3D-JOY]

I’ll hope your deals work out good for FR too.

I always stumble along in 3rd place here in Florida. Wish I could think of a means to MOVE UP too.

[mrsmith]

“mrs smith”...

Strange: that used to hardly ever happen. Now it’s happening frequently. Not just by someone running a frantic (and much appreciated) donation thread.

Don’t know what it signifies, though I’d wager it’s something interesting.
