Thank You for Reading The SunBreak

Since we started The SunBreak in September of '09 over 54,000 unique visitors have come to the site. Last month, we served up over 35,000 page views to over 15,000 readers. People just like you! People who like a little news, some sports, a lot of arts and culture, a bit of food and drink. And occasionally deranged hordes from Harvard.

Readership, and repeat readership, is really the best reward we get for the work we do, which is otherwise unprofitable at this point. You'd think, an online magazine, why that's a license to print money! (It turns out that's just an expression, or so the Treasury tells me.)

How you read is up to you: Our stories can appear in your news stream if you fan us on Facebook. You can get them tweeted to you. (Thanks to everyone who's put us on a Twitter list, you're loved.) Our stories can all show up in your RSS reader--subscribe now. We're also trying out a daily email summary, sent out after 5 p.m. Or, you're old school, we respect that, just bookmark or "favorite" The SunBreak. Stay tuned for mobile platform news; the boys at Instivate have a fleet of elves on it.

You can also participate--write your own post. That could be Front Page material you're sitting on. Or drop your best shots into our SunBreak Flickr pool. Every weekday we choose a pool photo for our Glimpses post.

For those of you with goods to sell, we have advertising you can afford, largely because it's self-serve. Upload some art, choose a daily or global rate, and publish. It's as little as $2.50 a day. Who's reading, you ask? 60 percent of our readers make more than $60,000 per year. 30 percent earn over $100,000. (That's why that top banner is $30 CPM; we're worth it.) You can also sponsor a whole category.

Okay, the short version is, Thanks for reading. Come back soon!
