Generating income:

To give you an idea, voluntary donations vary, but are usually fairly consistent if looked at over the course of a year. The Alliance netted just over $100 in May. My hard costs for the hosting platform, the newsletter/database functionality, the teleseminar function, and the radio function are $171. When I started, I hoped to actually contribute something to making a living with it but I’ve since realized I should probably ultimately either make it a non-profit, or make it privately owned by a trust or board who would work to create dividends and pay themselves for their work. I don’t suppose this is urgent, and I remain open. 

• · Should we create a sort of  “community educators” track in which professionals can sign up for something like $60 a year and have unlimited access to Alliance tools for  offering teleseminars, webinars, and a certain number of study groups (written group forum) each year plus training on how to use the system. (I’m already paying for the teleseminar/webinar system each month for about $50) and paying for the paywall capabilities for an additional $20/mo.

• · Should we create a paid “education” track in which members can access all the teleseminars/webinars/study groups being offered plus the archives for a flat monthly or yearly fee?--$5 or $10/ mo, changeable anytime?

• · Once we have some archives, should we charge a flat monthly rate to access the library of archives?

• · Offer advertising of (depth-related) products and services on the site?

• Other ideas?
