URGENT APPEAL FOR SUPPORT

Please consider donating - so these projects, including Revert8Plus, can continue to be developed

I’ve been developing tools to simplify your PC since 2022, and during this time every tool has been free to download, and I intend for this to continue. Developing these projects, however, takes a lot of time and commitment. I’m happy to put in the long hours, especially as I find the projects both exciting and inspiring. So, having committed to creating my best work, I assumed that, after a year or so, monetary returns would start to trickle in, to help cover basic living expenses. Yet sadly this never happened.

I’m happy to say that my website has grown significantly over the past couple of years, and now attracts over 150K monthly page views. Yet, even so, I discovered that most good ad networks are unwilling to approve sites with fewer than 1M page views per month. So, whilst my site has been displaying Carbon Ads for the past few months, the CPM is so low that it brings barely $10 each month, which is quite sad. My YouTube channel brings equally small returns, at around $14 monthly, and sponsors are not particularly interested in channels with fewer than 10K subscribers. Donations from both the website and YouTube combined are averaging $3 monthly and, whilst each individual donation is truly appreciated, the money doesn’t go far.

So sadly I'm now struggling to stay afloat, and if things don’t quickly improve, by mid-September I’ll have nowhere to live. This would be devastating, both personally and for the future of my projects. I have over the past few weeks continued developing several projects, including a tool to easily install Windows 7 on modern hardware, and the long awaited Revert8Plus v5. I’m concerned, however, that if I have no money or place to live, these will probably never get finished.

I love developing all my projects, and am delighted that so many people are now interested in my work. If I can keep developing these projects, my site would continue to grow, with even more people coming to use and enjoy these tools - thus making long term funding significantly easier.

As an extra note, I do have two new ideas, and either one or both would almost certainly bring long term financial support for my site. Yet, I’ll need at least several weeks to put these into practice, so they would only be feasible if I can keep my home.

At the moment, having tried almost everything I can think of to make ends meet, there are few options left. I never want to resort to using bad ad networks with their annoying pop ups, or other user-hostile ways of monetization, as I have always tried to produce user-friendly content. As such, I’ve decided to ask directly here, hoping some of you might offer your support.

I need only enough donations to cover these next few weeks/couple of months, as this would give me enough time to finish and release my next projects, plus put my new funding ideas into action, and so secure a positive long term outcome.

So, to everyone who visits my site, if you have enjoyed my work, tools, tutorials or advice, I very much hope you might consider offering a donation at this time. It would make all the difference in the world! Thank you.

Please use the donate button on the right. It doesn’t matter how small your donation: if enough visitors give just $1, the current situation would be resolved.

I also ask if you would kindly share this page with anyone you know who might also be interested in supporting me at this time.
