We need to hire an office administration trainee to handle the increased workload that we are now facing in creating necessary report and data streams to speed up our efforts.

The cost to us of hiring a trainee for a year is $350 per 35 hour week, plus 9% loading for Superannuation and $390 per year for workers compensation insurance.

It's already expensive to do this work. We pay for offices, servers, legal fees, cloud services such as our project management system, accounting and databases. We also have courier, postage, photocopying, teleconferencing and office expenses to cover.

This project will not be able to continue without support from the industry. We would appreciate any assistance that people can provide so that we can make an even bigger impact than we already have on the file locker ecosystem.

If you believe this project is worthwhile then please contribute via https://copycontrol.org/contribute

Thank you to everyone who has already contributed and those who will contribute in the future.

I just pumped $4,000 into the project today as we were down to just a few dollars left.

Funds help pay the following bills:

Office Rent
Telephones
Office Administration
Programming
Cloud Services for Accounting, Data Collection & Analysis, Podio etc
Servers
Courier and Postage fees
Photocopying and Printing
Legal Fees
Accounting Fees
Specialist Services
Travel to meetings
Teleconferencing
Secure Document Destruction
Subscriptions to services such as Domain Tools

We will also be putting on an office administration trainee to take some of the administrative workload away from myself so I can spend more time killing sites.

This is an expensive project and I am putting in a lot of work into making us more productive and better at killing sites. There are some great new initiatives planned that wil help more people and broaden the scope of the campaign. So every dollar of support helps.

If you want, I could setup a page for regular CC accounts. You just need to trust me that I would then forward that to you. Is only option right now paypal? It's not that big of a deal but I can't stand paypal. As soon as I get money into paypal, I take it out.

Hey Beaner, you make a good point, and I've brought this up with AK.
You can use a CC with PayPal, it's just not as obvious.

There will be taking steps to make it obvious to the donator what to do if they don't use PayPal before they are finally redirected to the PayPal site.

I use a PayPal Pro account for invoicing for freelancing, $30 a month, allows me to send invoices that redirect to a unique virtual terminal. Clients can pay with a PayPal account or Credit Card. 90% of the time they elect to pay with a CC. The brand does help when I talk to clients, however.

I just started the donation. The process is really difficult. Not user friendly. I'm serious... you guys need to make it easier to pay.

That said... I don't work for any company. So I put that info as agent orange. I would like my company name displayed (not my real name) on your pages. So in my example, it would say No Limits, LLC has contributed $30/month to the cause. I think that you could possibly upscale it to let contributors display a logo, a brief description, and a link. I'm not saying this to be greedy... I am saying this because you will get a ton more donations by doing so. And please do not display my real name to others... just my company name which was not an option on current form. The option was to say who my employer was... unfortunately, I am my employer so I must do the hustle all by myself :)

I'm going on but I'm sure you understand what I am saying.
