We take a short break from the baseball action to conduct some housekeeping for RAB. As you might know, we don’t make a ton of money with this venture. We can cover our increasingly expensive server costs with the meager revenue display ads bring and have enough to re-invest in the business (like our trip to the Winter Meetings). That’s fine and good, and if that never changes you won’t hear us complain (too much, anyway). Still, we’d like to see how far we can take this.
We’ll be right up front about this, so you guys know exactly what you’re getting into. The more money we generate from this site, the more time we can justify spending on it. That means, among other things, more in-depth commentary, more features, and fewer filler posts. Essentially, we’d like to turn this into a full-time gig, complete with clubhouse access. While we’re slowly moving in that direction, it’s not quite a reality yet.
One thing we can do to increase revenues is to sell advertising directly rather than using low-paying ad networks. To do so we need some information about our readers, which we can share in the aggregate with potential advertisers. No, your specific personal information will not be shared, as per our privacy policy. We just want to add up all the survey information and use that to entice advertisers. At that point perhaps we can boost our revenue and justify spending most of our time on the site. I think that’s an equation which benefits everyone.
So please, take a few minutes out of your day to fill out the survey. It’s only 13 questions, most of which are multiple choice. That minute or so of your life can prove invaluable to the future of RAB.
