Hi my awesome friends,
I've never done anything like this before so please bear with me. As most of you, if not all of you know, I host an online radio show called Spaced Out Radio. I know a number of you have listened. Some have become fans, while others could take it or leave it. I've been doing this show for three years, starting out with an average of 15 listeners a night, and as of now, I'm broadcasting to over 150,000 listeners a night. This show has been a real passion of mine, and it's really starting to take off. I have never ran a start up business before, and I can honestly say that it's the toughest thing I've ever done in my life.
We are on the verge of hitting the terrestrial radio market, to get radio stations, maybe even in your area, to pick us up on syndication. So far, the feedback we have received from Program Directors and Station Managers has been both positive and negative. The positive being that we are a fresh voice with a great concept, and they like the professionalism of the broadcast. The downside of it is we sound like an internet radio show because of our lack of technology that we have in our broadcast. In other words, the stations won't pick us up because our sound is not clean and concise. We are in a real catch-22 here. We are right on the doorstep of making things happen, but need some help in making it a real success.
I know it's Christmas time, and money is tight for a lot of us, especially around my home. However, I have started a Go Fund Me page to raise $5,000 Canadian dollars towards trying to purchase the necessary equipment needed to upgrade our sound so we can start selling the show across North America. This is something I am very passionate about, and sheepishly I'd like to ask all of my friends here to help out. I'm literally sitting on a potential million dollar idea and I don't have two cents to my name right now to invest in myself. This Go Fund Me campaign is the hardest thing I've ever struggled to ask for because I'm not that kind of guy. I like to do things on my own, but at this time, I do need to ask for help.
You guys know I am a straight up guy with a background in radio, so you know that I'm not just doing this on a whim and a prayer. I know many of you may not agree or believe in the subjects I talk about daily, but I'm busting I disagree to be productive on a ZERO dollar budget. Like I said, it's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. We are oh so close to making this a reality. I know money is tight for many of you, but I'm on my knees begging for help because I am that close. 100% of the donations will go towards the purchase of new gear, like proper microphones, headphones, mixing board, and a CODEC system, which, eventually radio stations will be able to patch into. The equipment will run me just over $3,000 Canadian. The rest of the money will be to purchase insulation and sound proofing for my studio at home so I can get a better sound quality.
www.gofundme.com/WeOwnTheNight is where you can help if you have the ability. If not, your words of encouragement are greatly appreciated. This is a sound donation with someone whom you can trust. I hope you can help to get us pushed over the top.
Roger if you do not deem this as a quality post, then please feel free to remove it.
Best regards,
Dave
