GoodNewsIndia
began as a passionate mission and now enjoys a growing readership.
Many visitors have written to ask how they could help
GoodNewsIndia [GNI]. Here are some ways you can.
Spread
the word:
The
main purpose of GNI is to persuade that there is a huge invisible,
dedicated work force building a new India. In order to bring this
message to a vast audience, you can help spread the word about the
site. From GNI's homepage the site can be recommended to your
friends. The stories that you have enjoyed reading can be
sent to others. If you would, please add the following line after
your signature in all your out-going emails: "for an
affectionate but truthful look at India, visit http://goodnewsindia.com
You could also recommend GNI in the news groups and
forums in which you participate.
Write
back and follow-up:
A
delightful reward would be to receive your feedback. Please
remember GNI is a one-man op. So errors will crop up. Point them
out. Report broken links. Suggest leads. Sign-up for the
newsletter [-- that will help me follow-up leads near you or seek
travel and hotel information.] And oh yes, do send your flattering mail ! !
The
nicest stories to hear from you are those about how a project you
heard of here prompted you to follow it up and help it. Please do
mention GNI when you write to them. That would be my pay
off!

Closed
options:
I
have wanted to keep the visitor experience uncluttered and quiet.
Somehow flashy advertisements hustle and intrude. Advertisers' interest may also conflict with GNI's.
So,
GNI will not be an open house for advertisers, will not trade
visitors' email addresses, and will not exchange links without the greatest care and
consideration.
Money
Issues:
That
raises the money issue. How does GNI finance itself? Some visitors
have written offering money.My
response is: "Money is not a problem -- as yet." And it will come at
a time of its choosing. But if you insist on making a cash contribution click this to send an email and instructions will follow.
After much consideration, I have also decided to recommend in this quiet
corner of the site some products and services that might be of
interest to visitors. If you patronise them, GNI will get a modest
commission. Therefore, I hope you would.
Below
you will find links to LinkSky and Amazon.
In
the coming months I may affiliate GNI with other reputed online merchants who may be of interest to the well wishers of GoodNewsIndia
