Guns Network over the years has grown to one of the largest gun communities bar none. Early on as far back as 2001, we had many members asking that they wanted to help contribute & support our community financially. So we implemented the multi-level membership upgrades. The members contribution's as a whole compared to the advertisers portion are smaller but to the staff the member's portion is very important. In our hearts and minds the members who do contribute financially has been a large staple for this community. In that the members share makes up on average 10% of our total revenue all year long. As small as this portion may be, we use these funds to pay for Guns Networks main website upgrades, server upgrades, software upgrades and the photo server bandwidth, as well as paying for a software coder who is working on our newer AK-47.net website as I write this.
We now have FOUR main levels and as of last month we have implemented the RECURRING BILLING... oh we are quite proud of this. What does this mean to you. For all of those who wished to contribute more in the past but for some reason could not pay all at once. We now can spread out the members annual costs over the year. Example: Yesterday a member for the last 3 years has been sending in $50.00 a year. Which he has been at the Team AK level since 2004. He has always wanted to send more but could not. As of yesterday, he is at the $100.00 level which we are billing him monthly $8.63. The recurring billing ( Credit Card only) will be used at the $50.00 level and up.
$50.00 recurring $8.63 for 6 months.
$100.00 recurring $8.63 for 12 months.
$250.00 recurring $21.50 for 12 months or $64.46 Quarterly (every 3 months)
