UPDATE ON ME

I am truly sorry for my lack of respect for this site lately.

In the beginning, I wanted to create a FREE environment suitable for all people – hence ‘free gaming swag’.

My $7 eBook is basically free, more of a donation than anything, but… I am disappointed in myself over the lack of content.

I plan on reviving the site VERY soon, with a much more sleeker look, faster loading speeds, and much more FREE content!

Please stay tuned, and don’t give up on me yet :( .

    lol, Thanks for the update! I was wondering when there would be some new stuff on this site. Take your time spring break is coming up soon! I was also wonderring if there was any chance you would be making another $7 eBook for protoss or zerg sometime soon. Thanks!

      In the future… first I got to find time to get some more articles up. Also, I’m looking into revamping the entire website. Load times are pretty slow and it’s a little non-user friendly (as for text wise).

        Well I’d have to disagree there ;) i have seen the Shokz Guide Member’s area, and this site looks way sleeker already :3 Shokz has more content up, but I understand the reasons for the differences there ;)

        As for the new eBooks that you said will be coming up “in the future” AFTER you “get some more articles up”, personally I would much rather pay $7 dollars for a well-done Zerg eBook than read a few more articles. I love playing Zerg, I was originally a Protoss player but I have more fun playing Zerg because they are much more challenging, and I am constantly looking to improve my gameplay with Zerg. I would rather pay for and eBook and help contribute to this site because I think that readers would get more information out of an eBook than a few articles, and because I think that you would benefit more from eBook purchases than from free articles. Just my thoughts on the matter :P

        Hoping to see some awesome site updates soon,

          Thanks…

          The thing about my theme is:

          1. It’s free

          2. It loads slow

          It’s an awesome look, I know (I did choose it), but the load time from it is incredibly slow :( .

          Here’s my dilemma… I can’t spend 2 hours a day writing one article with hardly any return in money. It’s sad to say, but charity can only go so far in every situation. I need to find a way to make my TIME worth the money I make from the site. I’ll say now that I only sold about 30 eBooks on the Terran… That eBook took me around 30 hours to complete. That means I made under $10/hr, which is pretty crappy for that much time.

          I tried doing a Paid Subscription for the forum videos, but no one purchased that… so that was a fail :( .

          I just don’t know what to do…

    Hi, I comes to this website by some yahoo posting and I find this website great!
    I really appreciate your work! Keep it up!
    Oh, also thanks for the zerg gameplay.
    I’m a zerg player and I got a lot more idea on how to play zerg.
    thanks

    That’s kinda what I’m saying, I know that less than $10/hr is not great, but its still better than $0/hr, which is what you get for the free articles. But of course its up to you :) I’m happy for the free info, and I would certainly be more than happy to donate $7 for an eBook that you spend time and thought on. I’ve already checked out Shokz Guide, and to be completely honest I was not all that impressed. I already like this site much better, it seems much more genuine.

    I know that this site is not really “worth” your time, as far as income goes, but you had to have known that when you decided to create a free site. Hopefully we can help show you that we really do appreciate all that you do for the starcraft 2 community, and that we’re all anxiously awaiting more updates :D I personally have no interest in playing Terran, otherwise I would gladly have bought the eBook. But I am looking forward to more insights into the other two races.

    Hope this post finds you well (and having some free time soon for updates!),

    lol, I see so many guys like playing zerg!
    Yup, I also want to check out your zerg guide when it comes.
    I hate it when the terrans get their siege tanks so fast and pwn my roaches.
    And when they get their MMM in front of those deployed tanks, I lose :( .
    Hope you update this site soon.
