Ladies and Gentlemen,

Click Here (http://destee.com/forums/showpost.php?p=607548&postcount=8) for the Last Call!

We are now right around the corner from producing our own Online Destee.com Newsletter.
:terrific:

I anticipate this being put out on a monthly basis. Some of what is in this newsletter will be pulled from the threads, But we are now looking for some volunteers for some contributions. In our newsletter, we will have articles/news/excerpts from the following categories.

Poetry
History
Religion
Inspiration
Finance
Astrology
Occultism
Current News

and more...

Do you have some poetry skills?

Knowledgable in astrology, religion or the occult?

If you would like to contribute to this newsletter in ANY way, or if you have any questions, please respond to this thread and let us know what you can contribute.

Peace IN!

Clyde Coger told me about this in a notification. I'm new to social networking so I had to respond here to give my opinion.

Anyway, I think this is great. Is there a way a writer can get financial compensation in this venture? And do you have samples of the work you're looking for?

Hey New Spirit!

This is a mock newsletter that was done a while back by Zulile.

http://destee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56285

When the newsletter is "fully operational" it will have links that go to the threads on this site.

As far as a specific sample, the works will be just like what you see being posted in the threads here at this site. And they will be specific to the categories that are mentioned.

Yes, there is a way that writers will get compensation. Now right now we are looking for some volunteers, but in the future, I see the newsletter charging for advertising (based on readership). At that point, contributers will be compensated.

So, yes there is a way... and yes we are moving in that direction. But right now we are looking for Volunteers.

This idea grew out of This Thread (http://destee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55806)

Which lead to what is now called the GroupThink Project (http://destee.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=290)

From there you can see what all we are trying to do.

Does that answer your question(s)?

Another prepaid Card Service that helps build Credit.

http://www.accountnow.com/

Helps build your credit history.

Using the AccountNow Prepaid Visa and Prepaid MasterCard card can help you build your credit history in two ways. First, pay your bills online for free to save time, money, and demonstrate your credit worthiness. Our free credit builder program reports your bill payment history to PRBC, a credit bureau.

Second, use the AccountNow iAdvance Line of Credit – a sensible borrowing alternative to payday loans. The iAdvance Line of Credit is a short term loan program that is easy to get and cost less than a payday loan.

When you pay back the loan, we will report your payment history to the major credit bureaus.

Peace and Blessings Family,

Just a note that I have asked (http://destee.com/forums/showpost.php?p=608672&postcount=18) and received (http://destee.com/forums/showpost.php?p=608675&postcount=19) permission from Brother MetaSaience to use his images on the T-Shirts.

I know yall probably mighta already had that, but I wanted to be sure.

Also, I have been able to make contact with my friend in Chicago, and he says he can help us.

He was in Detroit, headed to Philly, but would get back with me as soon as he was back home (Chicago).

I'm sure I can get some particulars by the 5th though. For now, I have these answers :

What type of merchandise can you produce? (Shirts, Jackets, Mugs etc etc..)

Shirts

What is the pricing of this merchandise?

Don't know yet, but will have an answer by the 5th I think.

Do you have/or can you produce and online storefront?

Yes

Anything else that you feel is relevant towards us making a decision

I will know more by the 5th.

Loving USSSSSSSSS !!! :grouphug:

THANK YOU GROUP THINK AND BROTHER METASAIENCE :toast:
