On April 26, much of the site
will be avail­able to sub­scribers only.

Monthly sub­scrip­tions cost $7 a month. Lunch for one per­son costs more than that these days, and it’s less than what the com­pe­ti­tion charges, and we’re giv­ing you more in return. There is also an annual sub­scrip­tion option, where you get the whole year for $70, or the price of 10 months. These options will be payable by credit, debit or check card online, through secure trans­ac­tions han­dled by Pay­pal. You don’t need a Pay­pal account to do it, either.

If you don’t like the idea of using your credit card online and would rather pay by check, we have options for that as well, though to keep paper­work down (we spend all our time report­ing on Engle­wood, after all), we require that pay-by-mail sub­scrip­tions be made in 3-, 6-, or 12-month incre­ments. Prices for these are the same as above.

We real­ize that this may be dis­ap­point­ing to some. Really, we would like to be able to offer this site free for­ever, but it’s just not eco­nom­i­cally fea­si­ble. It’s a mat­ter of sur­vival for the site, and for our­selves per­son­ally. We con­ceived this busi­ness because we were laid off by print news­pa­pers. The print indus­try con­tin­ues to cir­cle the drain, cut­ting staff, paper size and qual­ity in an effort to squeeze out a few more years of adver­tis­ing rev­enue. News and event cov­er­age is what we do, and there were no other jobs avail­able. Times are tough. So we made our own oppor­tu­nity — the Amer­i­can Way, right? — and we have done it in Engle­wood. Because we love it here. From the response we’ve got­ten, it seems like Engle­wood loves us, too.

April 2010 was our biggest yet in terms of read­er­ship. How big was it? We had three times as much traf­fic as we had only a few months before. That’s pretty good. That shows that we’re doing some­thing right. With your sup­port, we think we can do bet­ter. As soon as the bud­get per­mits, we’ll be able to add to our staff and increase our cov­er­age. Bar­ring that, we’d be happy just to be able to con­tinue as we are, but we will need your sup­port to do so. We work seven days a week, some­times 16 hours a day, to make this hap­pen. All we want in return is for you, once a month, to buy us lunch for one. A cheap lunch for one.

We’ve got even more sales pitch here!

We accept all major credit cards and debit cards.

To pay by mail, click here.

First, choose your subscription

This will take you to a Pay­pal page to make pay­ment. While you are there you will be asked to cre­ate a pass­word. This is sep­a­rate from your Engle­wood Edge pass­word and will be required if you ever need to change your pay­ment info, credit card, etc.

We strongly advise you to make your Pay­pal pass­word dif­fer­ent from your Engle­wood Edge pass­word, and make a phys­i­cal record of it so you don’t for­get. This way, if some­one man­ages to find out your Engle­wood Edge pass­word, they still can’t see your priv­i­leged pay­ment info.

Note: To sub­scribe with­out an exist­ing Pay­pal account, there is a link to sim­ply use a credit card below the Pay­pal login form. Click that.

After com­plet­ing your pay­ment, you will be returned here to cre­ate your Engle­wood Edge user account if you don’t already have one, or attach your paid sub­scrip­tion to your exist­ing account. Then you’re done!
