This will never ever be a pay site, but any and all donations are very appreciated. DoDIY.org is mostly maintained by one person who spends countless hours trying to keep this epic resource as up-to-date as possible.
The donations will go toward paying for the website's domain and hosting, anything left over will reimburse me for my labor on the site (and hopefully someday there will be enough to pay some helpers). If it's any consolation, my day job is making zines and other DIY stuff, so any money you put in here will support DIY endeavors in one way or another.
Please consider supporting this site! Here's some ways:
Donate through Givebutter (multiple payment methods)
Donate on Paypal
Donate with Venmo: @dodiy
Become a Patron Pledge between 1 & 10 bucks a month on Patreon, & get goodies in the mail + a newsletter if you want.
Become a sponsor! This is like becoming a Patron, except you get a lil ad on the site (see below).
Ads are available for DIY projects; like bands, zine distros, labels, non-profits, etc. No corporate stuff or other bullshit.
DoDIY.org has been around since 2007. In the year of 2016 alone, the site had 119,459 unique visitors (that's an average of 9,955 per month)!
There are two ways to sponsor on DoDIY and they're both cheap.
1. If you're a band or performer, you can pay $2/month or $20/year to have a link to your music available under your hometown. See the "California" page (under "Oakland") for an example.
2. You can place a 100px square graphic ad, viewable on the bottom of 8 pages of the site, including the home page and this page. That'd cost $10/month or $100/year.
Just send me an email at elliott [at] dodiy [dot] org and let me know your info, I'll walk you through it.
