Since 1997 I've been blogging on my own domain. I offer all my articles and posts completely free on an open, independent platform. There is no advertising, I minimise my dependence on subprocessors, and I collect the least possible amount of data on people who subscribe to the newsletter. With reader support I can stay true to transparent values grounded in inclusion and compassion.

My ambition continues to be providing my articles, explainer videos and templates at no cost, keeping them accessible to everyone who will not–or can not–pay for this type of content. As I am naive enough to want to devote more time to writing under these conditions, I make it possible for people who can–who see value in what I do–to back or sponsor according to their ability.

Producing and distributing free knowledge via an independent platform takes time and costs money. Not just the initial work, but also maintaining it over time. More content and members means more expenses towards storage, traffic, administration and newsletter delivery.

Individuals who back me today have chosen the Supporter level. This means a contribution of 5 euro per month, or 55 euro per year (including VAT). This money goes directly into the operation of the websites and their overhead costs in connection with distribution. Should there in the future be enough for anything beyond that, the dream is to be able to spend more time on investigative journalism and pivotal digital guides.

Why support me? People do it because they trust me, they believe I'm doing something of importance that satisfies a need, and understand that the support really helps. Both morally and practically.

I'm floored by the compassion.

The majority of the costs of running the blog are currently covered by the profits from my day-to-day consulting work – both time and money. But of course I'd love to spend much more time on writing and education.

Options for businesses and professionals

In addition to being a Supporter, there are now also the options of Sidekick or Sponsor. These levels involve significantly more money and are a way for me to offer services to companies, with a subscription model, as part of my ambition to step up my writing and creative work.

Sidekick is aimed at professionals who want to participate in an online forum providing a safe space for conversations with like-minded people, as well as guidance on working with good-hearted tech. Sort of like a colleague you can ask questions via a chat. Discounts for events where I'm on stage are also announced primarily to people on the Sidekick level.

Sponsor gives organizations the opportunity to grant up to 15 employees the Sidekick level membership, while also including an annual online workshop or lecture for up to 500 people(!). Some exposure on the website and in my visual material may also be provided.

If you have any questions about these options for organisations, and what may be included, get in touch! 🥰
