Ricky Baby Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 itunes costs .99/song, with 5% (.0495) of each sale going to neowin. neowin would make more if the members donated some real money. instead of spending $10.00/month on itunes with .49/month going to neowin, just donate the whole $10.00 to the site.duh gotta love your maths :p 99 / 100 = 0.99 (1%) 0.99 X 5 = 4.95 (5%) soooo if some one spends $10 on itunes neowin would get $0.45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean W Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 true, but im sure alot of people will use it, therefore it will help support neowin servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambooo Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Do it for god sake and stop talking about it... If it helps neowin then by all means... just make sure the ads/links or whatever integrate neat and tidly into the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Toxikk has some good ideas, they are not open to the public for now though. No need to ask. So the rumours are true..... to cover costs, Neowin is turning into a porn site :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aem4162 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 you're ignorance is bliss. :rolleyes: You need to think on a much larger scale than 1 song from 1 person thats costs 99 cents. Remember there's thousands of people hititng neowin daily and millions monthly. Albums are like 10.00 thats .50 from 1 person!. if ten people buy albums thats 5.00 to neowin for what? Having people click on an advertisment for something they use an enjoy? Sounds like Gravy to me. i used 1 song/person as an example. i don't know or care about how much a person actually dls a month. i still think that a direct donation is better.

Ricky Baby Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 yes giveing neowin ?10 (are $ whatever) is better than all these pay per click and getting X% commision of something - but a lot of people dont have ?10 to give but they do like itunes so while there at it they can give a little to neowin then all the better, they dont HAVE to but songs so neowin gets cash, if they do it anyway then why the hell not?

ceminess Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 i used 1 song/person as an example. i don't know or care about how much a person actually dls a month. i still think that a direct donation is better. of course a direct donation is better, but not everyone is going to donate to neowin, because not everyone is rich, i for one love neowin but i am not going to donate to it, i have major money problems right now and cannot afford to just give away my money. but... lets say i have a little bit of spending money on me and i decide to buy a album from itunes, i would use it through neowin, and therefore neowin would get money and i would get my album.

Ryan V Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Not everyone has the cash to just say "Here neowin, have $20" Or even some people don't have Paypal accounts or don't like transferring money over the internet. I for one would donate some money if there was easier/better way to donate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kombolcha Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 i used 1 song/person as an example. i don't know or care about how much a person actually dls a month. i still think that a direct donation is better. in my pov i wouldn't just donate money to neowin for the hell of it (unless i was really rich) and you couldn't really tell people to donate to neowin either.. but knowing that it is an affiliate of itunes and me being an itunes user i would def be happy to help out.

Pink Floyd Veteran Posted September 4, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 4, 2004 Even if I dont use itune, I agree with the idea That not a huge amount of money but in a high volume scale, that could help neowin admins to pay the server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I thought Neowin was in some way affilated with Microsoft? I'm sure they'll love seeing "Buy this tune from iTunes" links on Neowin. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
