Phone Support

[Bishop Christensen]

With the trying time of this economy, I am considering charging a
service fee for telephone support. I would like to get your opinions
on the subject.

Seems to me that our time on this planet is our most valuable possession.

I made that suggestion some time ago. I would willingly pay for
information and documentation on my problems. It takes time to read
and reply to e-mail or telephone calls.

You will need a business plan on what you charge for, the cost, etc.
Maybe there needs to be a web site that we subscribe to that allows
you to post info to the subscribtion group site - that way it will be
cost effective for us and yet get you the pay you deserve for general
questions. You could also have one-on-one consultation.

I have always valued your knowledge and it is valuable.

That is a good idea.  There are many similar concepts out there.  I think that "donations" and, "pay what you feel..." will net the greatest return without the emotional attachment and reservations that come naturally.

 

A good example is my camping park...  By installing electric meters, each pedestal cost me over $500.  That is $5,000.00.  These won't use that much electricity in my lifetime BUT when guests arrive, they have the option to read their meter and make a deposit on the honor system.  The important thing is this.  NO ONE EVER FEELS AN OBLIGATION & WE ALL GET TO ENJOY EACH OTHERS COMPANY WITH NO WEIRD THOUGHTS. 

 

That sounds silly to "normal" people but RVers don't like taking advantage of each other (hence why we are a cut above:).  I could care less about the money but I very much care about people feeling as comfortable as possible.  Proof is in the pudding.

 

Again...  If it is offered, accept it!  You may be likely making the contributor feel better.  Do it for THEM!
