Wish you guys the best but it seems like you have a pretty tough road ahead of you. Declining media focused only on a declining model comprised of dwindling purists and short term owners that dont give a ****. Probably not the best business model but I hope you succeed!

Consider your early subscription more of a show of support to start. We have big plans in place and the more support we get, the better! This months how tos are cool and unique. And we have an AWESOME feature car for October.

Once again, thanks so much for helping us!

So a crowdfunded website with little to no content. Sounds great.

Super in depth tutorial videos, fun rotary focused video content, interviews involving people in the industry, interviews with garage built machines. Really, it's all about the video and photo. What subscribers allow us to do is travel to get the story from these owners and shops. We have a few tricks up our sleeves

Is this thread the only way you're getting to word out? How many subscribers are there? Is it international?

Thanks

We advertise mainly through Facebook. Our Facebook page has 2.2k organic (non paid) followers. We have about 50 paid subscribers after only one month as well. We'll be hitting some race events in the US in a couple of weeks. For example, I'll be at World Cup Finals in Maryland to get interviews with people like Bola De Humo and Major League.

Appreciate your skepticism, ultimately, our goal is to steer people like you to our platform, but we also understand it takes time and brand building. Let us prove you wrong with time and hopefully you'll hop on board! But I don't blame you for not wanting to buy in at the beginning, but note, we do pay attention to loyalty. Some giveaways will be time based on how long you've been a member.
