That article was intended to <em>ONLY<\/em> be about the video newsletter back issues. It was <em>NOT<\/em> supposed to be about whether there would be a fee for the regular weekly delivery of the newsletter.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Any talk of pricing was meant to be for those of you who want to build an ongoing private library of videos to refer back as often as you like. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">For now, I am not planning to take away the free weekly access that so many of you have been enjoying and benefiting from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">By the way, here&#8217;s the link to the September 25th blog post if you want to get caught up with all of the commenting that happened over there: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/video-polymer-clay-tutorials-color-mixing-recipe-cards-to-download\/578\/\">Video Polymer Clay Tutorial Back Issues<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So for those of you who were thinking of saying &#8220;farewell,&#8221; there&#8217;s no need to worry. My polymer clay tutorial videos will continue to be available free <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>[&#8230;except of course for the last couple of weeks while I have been working *very* hard to get things switched over to the new membership site platform].<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The reason I am making this big switch is because it will allow me to deliver all of the video content <span style=\"color: #666699;\"><em><span style=\"color: #808080;\">[plus the new color recipe cards&#8230; which I think you are going to love],<\/span> <\/em><\/span>all in one place. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The free stuff will be there; The paid video archive library; The monthly courses; The Recipe Cards; etc., etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> This new &#8220;platform&#8221; will also allow me to add in other exciting enhancements like member photo uploading of community discussion groups<span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8230; one step at a time though :-).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Entry level memberships to this new members library will be free. And all of you will definitely be welcome!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span>Even More Good News&#8230;<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I took into account everything that was shared in the September 25 blog post about how much should be charged for the video newsletter back issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> Many of you asked that the price be set at $2 a month. I suggested $10&#8230; but have ended up coming way down to about the $3 per month level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I sharpened my pencil as best I could to make this library idea as accessible as possible. I&#8217;m sincerely hoping that the majority of you will be able to take advantage this offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> If you do, that will allow the &#8220;numbers&#8221; to work on my end so that prices won&#8217;t have to be raised to cover costs down the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> As suggested, I will also look for other means to support the network as well, through sponsorships and advertising opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">To keep things ultra simple, the price will be $9.95 charged every 3 months using PayPal&#8217;s auto billing, credit card system. If you have a Paypal account, great! If not, that&#8217;s not a problem. Paypal allows you to use your credit card directly with their system.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This $9.95\/3month rate will give you ongoing access to not only the searchable video archives, but you will also receive 1 new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/recipe-cards-for-mixing-polymer-clay-colors-collect-them-all\/840\/\">polymer clay recipe card<\/a> every week as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I wish I could give you the sign up link right now, but I&#8217;m still working <em>(frantically)<\/em> to get everything set up and functioning properly. It will be soon though. I promise! Thank you so much to everyone for your kind understanding and support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>PS:<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> I haven&#8217;t forgotten about the bonus color recipe cards promised to everyone who shared thoughts and opinions about the pricing issue. When the members library opens, I will be sending out an email to all of you explaining how you will be able to add these recipe cards to your personal accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;\">Please tell me what you think about the above proposal in the comments section below.
