How can Inspire21.com be free? Inspire21's objective is to provide everyone with free access to our site, with all of the ecards (not just a few, and many more in the future), free emailing services, and much more. However, as you know, it's impossible to invest all of the time and money it takes to make this possible, without some method of recovering costs, not to mention generate living expenses. Revenues must come from somewhere. This is why we're using our "Support" page to ask for your support. We'd like to encourage our visitors to consider ordering products and services they already want or need through Inspire21 affiliations. Simply put, if you're going to purchase any products and services on the Internet, why not do it through Inspire21.com, and help us in our mission to help others? It doesn't cost a penny more. For example, the next time you want to order books through Amazon.com, order them through our affiliate link. This way you get what you want and the satisfaction of knowing you helped us - to help others help people they care about. Everybody WINS! Here's how you can help Inspire21... Order select ecard art on T-shirts, sweat shirts, coffee mugs, mouse pads and more. To see which designs are available, click the Talkin' Tshirt logo to the left. This will take you directly to our "Talkin' T-Shirt Store," where you can enjoy secured ordering and a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you see an ecard design you'd like to have on a specialty product, let us know and we'll try to set it up quickly. Subscribe to our ezine, called "INSPIRING WORDS," which is delivered via email periodically on Monday mornings. It's free, and it will keep you abreast of new ecard art as it's uploaded to the site, along with a short, inspirational story to start your week. By building our 'opt-in' subscriber base, we can run a few classified ads which will help us defray costs. You can also support Inspire21 by ordering any custom hand lettering and contemporary calligraphy you may need from Wordart21.com. Whether you need one word or 100, for logos, slogans, invitations, envelopes, cover designs, menus, posters or web graphics, contact Wordart21. Order this 'art’ for your poetry, prayers and Bible verses as well. Consider hiring Barkelew Productions to design you next logo, brochure or website. The same creative guy who produced Inspire21 and Wordart21.com can also create something special for you. For an estimate on your next project, call Pete Barkelew at (706) 546-5058, or email Barkelew Productions. Webmasters: Please consider using these logos and banners to help us promote Inspire21.com! Thanks a million for your consideration and generosity! MY PLEDGE TO GIVE This is my personal pledge to fans and supporters of Inspire21. At least 10% of every dollar generated through this eBusiness with be donated to the following non-profit organizations. This is a vow that will be honored for the rest of my life, in addition to weekly tithing. As a 'starvin' artist,' I've never been able to give to these worthy causes as much as I would have liked over the past couple of decades. Thank you again for your support of Inspire21. Feed the Children  -  Christian Children's Fund  -  St. Jude's Hospital Muscular Dystrophy Here's my special "Wish List"... for Santa, someday... or through the considerate support of Inspire21 Fans... wherever you are! MORE ROYALTY-FREE IMAGES We need a greater selection of royalty-free photographs and fine art to use in these ecard designs, especially high-quality photo CDs with people and occupational subjects. Many of the low res stock photo CDs we already have (in affordable CD collections) are mostly unusable or less than desired. The better quality CDs, with 100 images, costs about $300-400 each. This is an expense that is presently out of reach. A POWERFUL MAC G4 DUAL PROCESSOR -- DONE!! I bought a new MacG3 in November, 1999, from ClubMac, only to have it crash constantly as I worked on this site for about 3 years. Well, it finally died (2 days before Thanksgiving, 2002). I finally got a faster, more stable system (with a larger monitor) to create the ecard art and update the website quicker. RESIDUAL INCOME Doesn't everyone want residual income? Our ambition is not to be greedy, but to be of service and make a living at it. So, it would be a blessing to generate financial stability through these endeavors (and avoid having to do local graphic design anymore on a day-to-day basis). I personally want to focus all my attention on the design, production and distribution of Inspire21 eCards. This is all I've ever wanted to do except, of course, have more time to be with my loving family. Doesn't everyone? Thank you again for your consideration and support! P.S. I realize that a SUPPORT page is usually meant to help support visitors with information. But, we had to use this opportunity to stress how much we need help in underwriting the time and costs involved in building this site and its contents. Please excuse any misunderstanding this may have caused. If you do need our support, you only need to click the CONTACT button on the top nav bar. Thanks!
