In the never-ending quest to keep our large user group afloat, to pay rent on our office, to pay the rent for our meeting space, etc., we have to find ways to make a little money. Many user groups have monthly CDs which are compilations of shareware, updates, etc. that they burn and then sell to their members at their monthly meetings in an attempt to provide a service as well as make a few dollars. In the past our group had CDs pressed in lots of 1000 to sell to our members and to offer to other user groups at a discount so that they could sell them if their group was too small to take on such a project.

With the changes in the speed at which updates happen these days, CDs that are pressed once a quarter or less, that method will no longer work. We are now looking at a CD/DVD burner that will burn about 25 at a time. Our CD will have group information, perhaps an electronic version of our Journal, video tutorials, application updates and the latest and greatest shareware. We are hoping to charge about $5.00, so this will hardly be a great money-maker, but a few dollars here and there certainly help the kitty! Our plans are to offer the first CD in the next month or two.

It would be wonderful to have Apple updates on the CDs, but I suspect we can come up with more than enough content to fill the CDs with new material each month.
