The short answer is: not yet. Currently, HistoricalRomance.Love is a 100% volunteer operation. The admins/owners of HistoricalRomance.Love are contributing our own time and money into building this site. Our contributors are also an amazing team of volunteers. Until we generate revenue, we are “paying” our volunteers in exposure, ad space, bio pages, and book reviews.
What happens if/when we do begin making money? First, we will cover the cost and upkeep of the website. That includes hosting, maintenence, and advertisment costs, as well as a few other things. Afterall, we can’t give anyone a platform if we can’t keep the site up and running. Second, we will pay our contributors for their contributions. Third, we pay ourselves.
This is our guarantee to you: We don’t get paid, until you get paid.
