What Is BC Worth To You?

So, what can we do to convince you that it’s worthwhile to become a BC Paid Subscriber? Would you like us to offer shorter-term BC Paid Subscriptions, say 3-month and 6-month? We have that in the works, but programming costs money, and we’re trying not to unnecessarily spend what little funds we have. Would you like to read more readers’ comments? Would you like to see a Book Review page? Let us know, because the reality is, if we are not worth it to our readers to spend a little over $1 an issue, then we should go find something else to do. It’s really as simple as that. Or, are we already doing enough, and you keep meaning to become a BC Paid Subscriber, but something else always seems to come up just as you’re about to go to the Sign Up Page? Well, stop procrastinating! Please.

We need 20% of our readers to be BC Paid Subscribers in order for us to survive. Beyond that, we can begin the outreach plans we have to decrease the “Digital Divide” in under-served, economically-strapped areas. We dream of that, but our reality is that we either reach the 20% by the end of 2006, or we don’t continue to publish beyond the end of the last BC Paid Subscription. It’s simple economics, and the BC Readers will determine which way BC goes – onward, or out.
