This has little to do with yours2share, but I have to do my bit to support the amazing task that Eddie Izzard has given himself running 42 marathons or 1100 miles, one marathan a day with just one day a week off.

He’s not an experienced runner, and he only had 5 weeks training….

He must be mad, but sometimes it’s good to make mad decisions and then just get on with it (maybe that’s why I empathise, running yours2share is a slightly mad thing to do).  It’s extraordinary that he’s now done 38 marathons!

Anyway, go and donate a few pounds.  Right now.

If anyone can tell me when he arrives in London, I think it must be sometime in the next few days, maybe this Saturday.  I’d love to be there, and I hope as many as possible people gather to salute his achievement.

yours2share is free to use and maintaining this is one of our major objectives.  There are a few additional services you can pay for: multiple ads, contact details on ads and making your ad stand out, but these are all optional.

I’m constantly asked “where’s the catch”? Do we charge commission or charge people to reply?  We don’t.  We make our income from advertising around the site, template contracts and some affiliate deals.  I won’t pretend it is a huge income, but it is steadily growing.  It is directly related to traffic, or the number of people using the website.

Several times recently people have offered to pay us because they were so pleased with our service.  I had been considering adding a donations page for a while, but wasn’t sure whether this anyone ever made donations.  A couple of months ago I realised they do: because I was so delighted with a free software download from another website, that I made them a donation.

So we have a new donations page, entitled “where’s the catch?“.  If you are delighted with yours2share’s service or simply want to support what we are doing, we would be pleased to receive a contribution.
