Thanks for letting me know about Ko-fi and for being my first donor.
I am now officially part of the "gig economy" I've heard so mcuh about.
I added the button at your suggestion and hope it will increase my revenue.
Under the "Big Beautiful Act," if passed, I guess I won't have to pay taxes.
I need a revenue. I just figured out that after expenses I am earning $13/hour or less. Better than losing money like I did the newsletter's first two years, several thousand a year.
People tghink information on the internet is free. But actually, someone is working away to prepare those "free" articles.
If people can afford it, a paid subscription would help me keep the newsletter going.
If you can't afford it, I understand. I made a decision initially to provide information you may not have heard from your physician available. You can educate yourselves and share with your doctor.
Remember my motoo: "Saving Prostates Daily."
Then, I started to see overhead charges. Then, I created paid subscriptions. But I priced them too low. I raised the price.
A friend suggested that I start a $1,000/year private newsletter. I could do that.
But mission is to help and educate--But also not to lose money doing it.
I can make special arrangements if you want to pay less than $80/per year or $9/month.
Message to the readers of "The Active Surveillor". I have found the information here so valuable for my husband and I as we navigate a PCA diagnosis. I also find it difficult to support all the authors I read with paid subscriptions. Howard has added a "Kofi Donate" tab. This is for paying and non-paying readers who loved an article or found the article worth the price of a newspaper today. Many other authors say, buy me a Kofi, but Howard doesn't drink coffee!. Consider leaving him a tip when you think the work is exceptional or you have found some information very useful.

PT Barnum is quoted "Say what you want, just spell my name right/"
This is something like the old business/politics saw: any publicity is good publicity. Not unlike the spin that all journalists put on things 😉.
