BiggerPockets

Challenge... I personally ask you to "Step Up!"

I have two challenges for you...

One...

I just donated $50 to Bigger Pockets to assist with the continued development and to show my support for this site. Donations since September of 2007 have only been $230.00?... I feel this is a very nice site for all of us investors... And, I am sure that a lot of people have "made", or "saved" A LOT of money because of the information on this site. The information here is what you pay 1k, 2k, 5k... or more for at seminars to learn this stuff. In addition, there are always people here willing to answer questions, any time that you have one!...

Chip in and help support this valuable information source... whatever you think it is worth to you... If you only can donate $5 that is ok... But you 'Bigger Players" ("Bigger" no pun intended) should step up a bit! I donated $50... who's next?

Here is the link to make your donation and show your support... http://www.biggerpockets.com/donate.html

Two...

Get out there and vote for Bigger Pockets! After all, it is election year! Again, show your support and go vote for Bigger Pockets... Vote for Bigger Pockets Here...
http://www.killerstartups.com/Social-Networking/Biggerpocketscom---Social-Networking-for-Real-Estate/
Once there, just click on the blue button that says "Killers". You should see the number of votes change... It takes 2 seconds and "your vote counts"!... Here is the link again... Vote Now!

Do both of these things now... NOT later!

P.S. No one at Bigger Pockets put me up to this... And, I am not affiliated with Bigger Pockets in any way... I just enjoy the site and thought I jump in and lend a hand!

Eric -
I definitely appreciate your efforts here. Thanks for your donation! As I've told Eric, every donation helps. We are not a mega corporation, but a small shop working hard to build the best resource for all of you.

We are currently running in the red so that we can develop this site into the best resource possible for everyone. The donations we get go right back into the site, and towards site development and server costs.

Thanks in advance for anything you can give back!

I'd love to share that info, but I'm not going to. As a private corporation, we're not required to share such info, but I give my word that we're not making buckets of cash, and in fact are losing money every month due to our redevelopment. My team of developers do not come cheap!

Otherwise, I hope you understand that this (our financial) information is proprietary at this point.

Thanks for your understanding.

great idea and way to bring it to the forefront -

what this site offers is worth it's weight in gold. and although no one is forced to make a donation, for the amount of potential out there for everyone a small donation is miniscule in comparison to what each of us takes from biggerpockets.

have a great weekend everyone.

jborchers2 and arneyd,

Thank you for your reply to this post... I am just chipping in and trying to do my part to help out... I am glad to see that you both are also willing to help.

The first post on this thread tells how you can make a donation, and how to place your vote for Bigger Pockets.

For now, just donate what you can... Any amount is fine... a few dollars will help!

I hope you both and many others will also chip in. I want to do what I can to make sure this site can continue to grow into a great resource for us all to use.

Have a Great Day!

Josh,

You are welcome! You have a great thing going here with Bigger Pockets... It is an awesome place for people to learn... So keep up the good work!

I am also hoping a few more will jump in and show their support as well.

I am glad you are also willing to help... And I agree... this is a great site!

And yes, Josh does a great job working hard to keep this place going for us.

Thanks for your support!

We got a new donation today . . . this time from David (username: arneyd). Thanks for your help!

We've now raised $365 since September. While this is indeed helpful, it barley scratches the surface!

I hope all of our members that have reaped some benefit from the site could find it in themselves to give back. I'm confident that if that happened, this site would already have many more of the features that we've got planned for our users, up and running. As we only have a limited budget for these projects, we can only build them as fast as I can find resources to pay our developers.

Thanks again to everyone who has helped so far!

Another thing that everyone can do, is click the ads up at the top

Cheers :beer:
