You may be one of the few people who has heard the whisperings around In Ear recently, if not In Ear you will be excited to hear that In Ear is approaching a very pivotal point in its development.
In Ear is growing and will soon be selling items to generate a revenue stream. This is a major step towards growing as a company and all of us here are extremely excited about this will bring.
In Ear will develop two distinct strands. The existing ‘for free’ strand will be complemented by the new ‘for sale’ strand. These two areas will run alongside and support each other.
However, we feel it is very important to state that any flow of money between the two strands will only be one way only.
As always we are grateful for any donations to In Ear to support our free-to-download content. For example, if you have enjoyed the two amazing series of Supermarket Matters you can go to the shop and donate some money to us by selecting the Supermarket Matters Supporter item; the same with Shakespeare’s Sonnets.
Note: Now in UK pound, US dollar and Euro. Just use the flag dropdown in the top-left.
And we have also recently signed up to Flattr, a micro-donation service where you can set a monthly donation limit that is shared between any content creators you Flattr that month.
But – and this is the point we want to stress – none of these donations will go toward development of ‘for sale’ products. Any donations or Flattrs we get for our free-to-download content will go towards bringing you more free-to-download content only.
However, and this is where it gets interesting, any money made from our ‘for sale’ content will go towards production of more for-sale content and for-free content.
This way anyone interacting with In Ear can support the for-free work while we can work on bringing you even more high-quality content.
…
Oh, and what is it we will be selling? Well you’ll just have to wait a little bit for the official announcement Although there are some clues around the site and the wider internet already.
