Agitator Premium

Thursday, April 1st, 2004

So I’ve been doing this blogging thing for well over two years now. And it occurs to me that unless I just throw caution to the wind and take some drastic action, I’m probably never going to make any real money at it.

So I’ve decided to make this an exclusively premium site.

Check back tomorrow, with your credit card, and I’ll have more information.

Right now, I’m thinking $29.95 per month.

UPDATE: Yeah, yeah. April Fool’s. I had planned to make this more elaborate, but the date snuck up on me.

More posts tomorrow.

    Whaddya mean you’re going to START charging $29.95 a month??!! Do you mean to tell me those random charges on my credit cards AREN’T your doing??? Because I called the FBI and everything and told them it was you…

    Well, when they bust through your door later on today, just remember that I apologized in advance…

    Do we get credit for the laptop donations?

    How about a contest of some sort with the award being a free year?

    Better yet, let us lowly commenters put up some posts for a fee. I’d pay 10 bucks to have you publish my personal screed.

    I think you really could have made it more subtle.

    You gotta be kidding. $30 a month??? The Wall Street Journal (electronic version) is only $6 per month and they PAY their writer’s.
    Me thinks you ARE kidding, but if you’re not, I too will miss you!

    Methinks the timing of this announcement is significant … :)
    (Not to mention the price … I do appreciate your publishing success with Fox News and others, but six times what O’Reilly charges?)

    I’ll give you a slightly warped “Best of Kenny Rogers, Vol. II” record, and that’s my final offer.

    I better get some damn good porn for that kind of money. I mean really. As much as I love this site if I dont get something awfully naughty on it I’m just not going to shell out that kind of cash.

    I’m more worried that Jim Henley’s April 1 post is true. I’d rather save $30 than read The Agitator again, but if we lose the only living libertarian with children to the dark side, well, that hits too close to home.

    Howard Sterns April fools joke today was a classic…I woke to his producer giving the message that he was pulled off the air, and me being half asleep, bought the whole thing…until I caught a glimpse of a calendar. Good stuff

    I guess the absence of prior posts today is a result of the “move” to premium service … ?

    The only living libertarian with children?

    JTK, the theory being that everyone’s a libertarian until they have kids.

    Under a dollar a day for an old conservative like me to vent my frustration out on a liberaterian, I think its well worth it.

    29.95? Cool! That’s less than the 49.95 you have been charging me the last two years! Hey wait a minute…
