I'm happy to say that for once we're not necessarily losing money!
Looking at the past year (while preparing for tax time...), the ads and store sales have allowed us to cover the hosting expenses. I'm note sure how much electricity to my laptop works out to, or the programs to edit the images to post here, but if you ignore that we're making 43 cents a day! Admittedly that's not paying us anything for the time we put in (I figured what that "cost" with PAC one time and it was a bit depressing...thankfully we all love CBoats:) ), but at least it's stemmed some of the outflow a bit.
We're hoping to ad a few more advertisers in the coming weeks, and I hope you've all enjoyed the latest selections in the CBoat Store (they changed just before Christmas, if you have yet to check out the new designs).
And yes, we are working on the Calendar this weekend:). Our store profit was minimal this year (as you can tell by the overall "profit"
), and we hope to continue keeping the markup on the CafePress goods low - I know their base prices aren't the cheapest to begin with, but it's the only way we can offer goods due to our "real" jobs.Thank you all for your support this past year, and I hope you continue to enjoy the site. We have a few BIG improvements we've been working on for a long time (since we went over to this new format), and hope to roll them out soon....
Keep the C!
Adam, Kenneth, and Sara
