Just a brief note to let you know I’m working on a little bit more than news this week. CHS continues to grow. In July, more than 43,000 people visited the site for information and news about the place they live and love. It was our biggest month ever. But we need to work harder. I’m well aware that CHS isn’t the only Cap Hill organization having to kick it up a notch to survive during these challenging times.
CHS is advertising supported. We have raised about $1,600 in donations this year to help pay for writers and photographers. I am also in discussions about partnerships that will give the site another $5,000 to help us get through the year. The rest must come from the advertisements local businesses purchase to support the site and share their messages with the CHS audience.
You can view our available ad types and rates here:

Our ad system is self-serve so you can control your campaign on your own but I’m ready to help with whatever you need. Call me at (206) 399-5959 with any questions or suggestions.
Thanks for reading and being part of CHS.

Nice work. Congratulations on establishing such a following.
One possibility for folks who want to contribute to the success of this site/community (I don’t work for CHS, just chiming in unsolicited). It’s a lot less formal than ads, but when you’re in a local shop that’s been covered by CHS, find the owner, manager or friendly staffer and tell ’em CHS sent you!
They’ll appreciate the coverage in a vibrant local community, and you’ll raise awareness and may be building a new relationship with a future CHS sponsor.
