Personally i think Patreon is an easy way to give support. Set it up and it's there until you de ide to stop. Go set up an account. Even a basic one will give Erin a monthly bit of money and she and BC deserves every Thing and then some. Love all you Guys and gals for what you do.

These are mere ideas so...

Reach out to companies, corporations & small businesses that are trans positive & openly supportive. Offer Advertising space, on the sides, none of the flashy stuff, but just enough to get it out there, advertising for them while likely increasing the possibility of their own monetary & even community growth.

The side bars can be altered, if people know how, i certainly don't. But the tabs up top & such could be smaller & things like personal account can be minimized like on others with the arrow thingy that brings the options down. Organization & less clutter, more space for monetary providers to showcase their businesses.

Possibly guarantee a return investment to certain entities for charity, such as certain homeless shelters, especially women's shelters that are trans inclusive, many/most none specific ones in Canada are. This way they have a steady income, be known as safe & help others while also doing so for here.

Reach out the therapy organizations & individual therapists that are trans positive for the same purpose.

Reach out to Kindle authors of positive trans related content to showcase them as acceptable authors in a kindle authors page with links to their content, with an agreement to a percentage of their sales & in doing so, change the content to free or buy to buy only, this way increases revenue for all inclined, doesnt need to be a ridiculous amount, but if say 100k were to purchase the same kindle content for say 13 dollars for a story say as long as 'frills, by snowfall", 'lee corcoran cheerleader saga by daring diane or even the 'You have it all wrong (Chrissy) series, by sarauk" that in turn could garner 1.3 Million. Mind you this is just an estimate, even the 2.99 ones could garner alot & most likely would garner more because of the low cost to those whom cannot afford pricey digital reading material. now back to the 1.3 mill, you could set up obviously an advertising fee, with the addition to a percentage of their own revenue for your assistance in the increase to their monetary gain through said advertising & traffic increase via the strongest advertising context 'word of mouth".

200 thousand you said just for visitors & how many actual account holders?
If first time is free & enticing & is mentioned that a 25 cent or 2 dollar annual charge for a standard membership fee thats 50-800k right there.

If the desire for monetary gain outside of operational & management etc costs, is not to your desire, the ones left over could be used to reward advertisers, charities, authors etc for their loyal service, perhaps in a monthly ballot & or especially authors being prepaid for continued work could entice struggling writers more time & intent to increase their own creative production.

Many people will contend that BCTS, has been a tremendous source of safe atmosphere to both vent in blogs & read stories that can be therapeutically rewarding in & of itself, especially those whom do so only, because they cannot afford an actual therapist. The countless lives, BCTS most likely have saved should speak soundly of this.

I get that monetary billing, puts people off, tbvh usually I am one of them. Though sometimes, it is worth it, especially when it comes to the loyalty to a source that has been your own backbone, especially when that rock is on the brinks of turning to gravel.

I read an extra amount, especially during quarantine in the shelter. I even despite my situation, donated... not much but I did donate 20 or so here & there.

People, we have had BCTS as our rock for countless years & they stood grounded & firm in trying to make this a free enterprise, for our benefit, but because of their sacrifices & tremendous effort are & for awhile been on the brink of having to lay it to rest. None of us want to see BCTS go, though if it continues as it has, it is only a matter of time no matter how much all of us would be devastated to see it disapear. I know times are hard, I know we all have financial problems, I know it might cut into getting a coffee here & there. But what is more important, a mug of yummy goodness once in a while, or something that helps to keep us emotionally afloat.

If the price evens things out & is reasonable & can be met.... I can personally say as long as I am able to, I will give back, I will submit to that.

Please people, I know it sucks but..... please please please, do not let bcts fall when a meager contribution each is all thats needed.

I do ask that debit & or debit visa's be an option in paying. I do not use paypal for many reasons. debit etc is far easier. If this can be done, I will be more likely to not be too frustrated in donating.... it is actually one of the reasons I tend not to.

So everyone that actually wants this all to survive, now is the time to do what needs to be done. Please, even if not for you, for others. Others whom like ourselves may reach out to read or vent on the verge of suicide & by doing so calmed down enough to stick it out further. It is without a doubt worth the effort, worth the price & we all damn well know it!
