In a world where we are quick to give away a few bucks, let’s try to build something meaningful together. EmbersofWisdom.com is a labor of love, dedicated to bridging the gap between who we are and the better versions of ourselves we strive to be.
The first $668 covers annual expenses, including hosting, domain registration, and site maintenance. I am not a nonprofit, and this amount does not include payment for my time creating articles or managing content. It’s solely for running the site.
Once the $668 goal is met, I’ll pay myself $27.50/hour for article creation, slightly below a fair living wage in my area. I’m capping this at 3 hours per article, as some take longer while others average 2.5 hours. This accounts for in-depth pieces needing multiple days. I’ll limit payments to two articles per week, though I aim to write three articles weekly. The third article is a bonus to enrich the site’s value for you. This compensation will be used to purchase audiobooks and an academic library card at a local university, enabling me to write better content and share knowledge that may not be widely accessible.
If surplus donations are raised at the end of each month, after operating costs and my capped compensation, those funds will be donated to local nonprofits. I’m currently focusing on local food pantries to address the high cost of living in my area, with plans to support other local causes as needs arise.
