I heard Ian mention how he prefers to get an itemized bill from the government knowing where his money is going, maybe it'd be good to have a monthly itemization of where all the AMP dollars are going. I think the increased transparency would encourage more people to AMP, and maybe incentivise Ian/Mark to make better use of the AMP money, although I have no idea how much effort this would take, I can't imagine it would be that difficult.

I voted for it, but I stopped AMP'ing last summer.

How we're AMPing FTL:

Talkers Ad
1/2 Page TALKERS Magazine Ad
$1000 a month.

Talk Shows USA Membership
Talk Shows USA is run by a talk radio industry veteran. He sends us leads on potential new affiliates and we get increased visibility and credibility. $500 a month.

Google AdWords Campaign
Set at a max of $8 per day.

Affiliate Hardware
Our affiliates sometimes need a satellite decoder card or receiver to air our show. We loan it to them and if they keep us on for a certain time, we give it to them. $350-$800 for cards, more for receivers.

Industry Conventions
Mark and I meet with decision makers in the radio industry. About $2000 per convention. Two per year.

Note, advertisers are making up the difference between these costs and our AMP total until AMP grows to the point where we can cut back on our ads (The 10k goal.).

It would be just more work for Ian.

Yeah.  That list doesn't have everything.

Are you saving money to buy out Rush Limbaugh's contract or something?

Do we really want Ian and Mark to waste their time itemizing their expenditures of AMP money? 

I personally trust them to spend it as they think best--I certainly am not in a position to know what the best use of those funds for promoting FTL.

Is this the $10,000 secret?

This, big-time.

One of them.  I'll reveal it earlier if it turns out we can afford it.
