Privacy Policy & Terms and Conditions
Very few people enjoy writing the privacy policy and the terms and conditions of any website, it seems like a thankless task because nobody really likes talking about legal issues unless they’re a lawyer and getting paid by the hour, and very few people will actually bother to read your privacy policy and terms and conditions.
So if nobody is going to read it, then why should you create one? People may not read it, but many will check for the existence of one. People know that many people won’t bother to create one, and so it can be seen as a measure of the professionalism of your site.

Link Love for November 2nd
Another Sunday is here and almost over. It is really dark, gloomy and rainy here. I’m sure the hunters up here are not liking it too much because every weekend since Deer and Moose season has started it has either rained on day or both.
The time changed that happened last night kind of screwed uo my sleep. I really don’t think that pushing the time change forward really contributed to helping conserve energy as the hoped.. Anyways, heres some link love again for bloggers

Subscribers Wipe Out The Economic Downturn
Business Week, National Geographic, and your local gym all use the same business model. It’s a subscription-based model that allows rapid growth and expansion. And you can tap into this model using the power of the internet.
The concept is simple. You charge customers a monthly fee for access to a membership website. Each month, you update
the content so your subscribers have something new to experience and remain subscribed.
Even low-end subscription based membership websites can generate quite a respectable income very quickly. Websites
that only charge $10 a month can quickly add several thousand dollars to the webmaster’s bottom line. 200 members
is an extra $2,000 a month. For the average person, that’s a nice second income.
At the other end of the scale are membership websites that charge $50, $100, or $500 a month and have thousands of
members. It doesn’t take long before financial stability turns into a dream lifestyle for the website owner.
But it’s not all a bowl of cherries. Owning a membership website also involves some time and money. You need to
provide new content each month so your members keep their membership. Depending on the type of website you own, this could take you one day a month, one week a month or the whole month.
And buying a membership website can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Your other option is to build it yourself. If
you choose the D-I-Y method it will take you hundreds of hours and lots of blood, sweat and tears.
So look before you leap into the membership website arena. There is a lot of money to be made with this business model,
but you need to consider your time constraints and financial considerations too.
