Support EP Families

My husband went back to school this summer. He’s working on his master’s in teaching English as a second language. I have a big life update announcement, but I’m going to share that live on Facebook at 2PM EST on Thursday. I will talk about what is in this post as well. After Thursday I’ll add the announcement to a post here.

My husband is going to school debt free which means a lot of budgeting is going on here, but the school raised the prices after just the first semester and left our budget busted. In praying over how to earn more money, I was inspired with the idea I’m going to share with you now. It’s a win, win, win kind of thing.

I have never put ads on the site because I never wanted to dangle something in front of you that said, “Your child would have a better education if only you could afford this.”

Most of you know one of EP’s core values is IT IS ENOUGH. I never want you to feel like you should be doing more than what you’ve decided is right for your family right now.

I was inspired with an idea for a way to use ads to not only help out my family but to help many other EP families as well.

I’ve created a page for ads on the site. There will be no ads in your face. You have to click on SUPPORT EP FAMILIES at the top of the menu to get there and see them. It’s a place for EP families to advertise their businesses, books, blogs, etc. For now, my only limitation is that I won’t place ads for other homeschool/educational materials. But if people are trying to advertise things that are against other EP values, I might end up putting limitations on those as well.

I don’t know if you realize how high traffic EP is. I could actually be asking $1000 for one ad on the main page of EP. If you place an ad, I hope this will help your family. I’m thinking there are a lot of you with Etsy shops, blogs, etc. that could use some help gaining a bigger audience.

Not only does it help EP family businesses, but when you place an ad, the money will cover our free EP books. This will help even more EP families because now people will be able to request any of our books, not just the readers. I don’t know if you realize that I spend thousands a year buying readers for people, so this will be a big help. It will also really help these families who may not even have a computer or internet at home and so need to use the books. Please only request books if you really can’t use the already free curriculum and have no other way to buy the books. It’s still money that could be going to help pay for my husband’s tuition! (The request link is at the bottom of the ad page. Take a look at what’s helping you get these books!)

I hope you can see the heart behind this new page on the site. I’m hoping that it will be something that will be a blessing to many. The first ads will go up on October 1st. After then I hope you will visit often and support your fellow EP families!

    I have a Christian Radio drama. It is educational but mostly entertainment. Is that a good fit or not?

    Did this ever happen? I would love to browse people’s ads and hopefully help a family in the process, but I can’t find the ads page… Maybe you could add a link to this article?
