The issue of funds must be addressed, however. I will be posting a separate topic in every forum about that. It may be time for me to make the request that every webmaster dreads asking of his visitors.
Jay,
For starters, you may wish to run a set of banner ads that link to star wars memorabilia on some of the larger sites like Amazon and AllPosters.com. I believe they have a program where you can receive a cut of monies received from sales referred from the site.
Hope this helps. There may be other sites that also have programs like this whose products would be relevant to our topics. I'm thinking hardware e-tailers, blank media e-tailers (Meritline?) and things like that. The more diligent among us could discipline ourselves to make that happen.
Of course, anybody with some pull in a good corporation's IT department may also chime in and offer some of your bandwidth. If I had it, I'd be the first to step up, but I'm no longer a corporate type.
I'll PM with some other ideas.
