Supporting MGoBlog

I occasionally get an email or a comment wondering how readers can support MGoBlog. As this has turned from a hobby to an obsession to an avocation the idea of making money from the site has gone from laughable to a far-off intriguing thing to kinda necessary if I'm going to ward off all those stupid "lol mom's basement" remarks from Official Journalists with a chip on their shoulders.

So, if you're reading and feeling guilty here are all the ways to assuage your guilt:

Donate money directly.

There's a button on the left sidebar or a direct link here.

PROS: Most efficient way possible to fund the amphetamines that keep me going during the season.

CONS: You don't get anything. (Yet, I'm working on it.)

Buy a shirt.

MGoStore has a wide selection of totally killer MGoBlog t-shirts for your perusal.

PROS: Awesome shirt, relatively efficient way to funnel said amphetamines. Highly likely to get you laid.

CONS: Ravenous packs of women (or men, depending on gender/orientation) following you around sounds like a good idea until you're up in a tree, praying they'll lose the scent.

Affiliate.

If you're already going to buy stuff from Amazon or Stubhub, you might as well visit via an MGoBlog affiliate link and shove a portion of your purchase blogward.

PROS: Functionally free.

CONS: Requires you to find a link and click on the link and Jesus sometimes you just want to go to Amazon without feeling heelish.

Barter services.

I am not a graphic designer and am a pretty hacky web programmer; any and all offers of technical/graphical assistance are welcome.

PROS: Killer recommendation letter.

CONS: Requires expenditure of effort; takes away from "Bear in the Big Blue House" time.

Visit.

Advertising goes "bing" whenever you hit the site.

PROS: Requires no action on your part aside from slavish devotion.

CONS: Can be kind of annoying.

Commit to Michigan.

Obvs.

PROS: Free winged helmet.

CONS: Requires committable offer from the University, which takes a lot of work.
