I thought the web site was free!
Yes, it is -- A free membership is all that is needed for us to run an engaging and successful class web site with Class Creator. It's also all we need to plan our future class reunions. Advertising is light and really doesn't interfere too much. We are presently taking advantage of the free services of Class Creator which includes ads.
But, and there always seems to be a 'but' ... A domain name is highly recommended (but optional), and is not included with any of Class Creator's plans. If we didn't purchase a domain name, we would be found at:
https://www.classcreator.com/Ravena-New-York-Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk-1967/
instead of:
http://www.ravenacoeymansselkirk1967.com
The cost is not exorbinate and it has already been paid for, for the next five years, a gift to the Class of 1967. However, after five years, the domain name will revert back to the original class creater web address. Our web site, however, will be here indefinitely irregardless!
The domain name costs are broken out as follows:
1 year: $19.95/yr.
2 years: $18.95/yr.
5 years: $17.95/yr.
A web site free of advertisements can also be purchased for a price.
How can you help?
Donate to the web site through advertisements from RCS class of 1967 alumni who own/operate their own business (contact us if interested -- funds would be collected through the RCS class web site's donation fund) or by using an 'affiliation' link that may appear on our web site pages. Affiliate programs start earning money for every sale that is sent the company's way from our web site.
When a classmate clicks on one of the links, they will be brought to the company's website. A commission for is earned for each sale made at that web site.
Here's an Example: Class Creator offers: Online Store
Class Creator has partnered with SSA Stores to offer members an extensive line of high quality, custom apparel products.
The class would receive a 12% commission from SSA Stores on all items purchased.
We don't expect to get rich from any of these options; maybe nothing at all. But, it would be nice to earn enough money to offset the domain name for the next 10 years. The Class Creator advertisement on our home page is already an Affiliation program. (Refer a Friend Program)
How will you know if it is an Affiliate Program?
Or, just an advertisement that has been generated automatically? It will clearly be noted that it is an Affiliate Program Link.
What types of Affiliations Program will be sponsored?
Only products that have been used or recommended by our classmates. In fact, a short history must be posted. If you love a product and want to help spread the word, and it has an affilation program, please let us know.
