Note that I independently write and research everything in this article. But it may contain affiliate links.

A few people suggested I do this a while back, so from today, I am asking if anyone would like to support the Modculture website either with a one-off or ongoing small donation.

I’m not making this move lightly. But I do want to push on with the site and at present, it is a bit of a pinch to do that. Running the site is proving quite costly and as it isn’t my job and it is all down to me, that makes it an expensive hobby.

I have always tried to balance the books commercially. Unlike some Mod sites/set-ups, I don’t generate funding from events, merchandising, consultation, PR and so on. So the costs of running, hosting, security, the software, the technical help etc have to be paid for somehow and that’s becoming tougher year on year.

So I am asking for help to move the site on a little. If you enjoy reading the site or have benefitted via the site in the past, it would be great if you could consider either a one-off donation or a small, ongoing monthly subscription. Anything you can afford – if you can afford it. I know people are struggling at present, so don’t feel obliged if you are struggling.

But if you can, that would be great and it will help me keep the site ticking along for the coming months and years. As a bonus, I’ll look to offering exclusive competitions for anyone who does help out – LPs, books etc each month. If you can’t, that’s no big deal. Just glad to have you along anyway.

Either way, it’s a conversation I feel I need to have as I look to the future.

Thanks for your time,
