A Few Facts
About News on the Net
- AFP will
charge you at least US $3000 per month in order to provide you with 5-10
news articles per day.
- Even
receiving a few news articles directly into your e-mail as an individual can
cost you at least US $200 per month (AFP's rates).
- Reuters will
charge you at least US $1,500 up-front in order to setup their news delivery
system for you. That's in addition to the HUGE monthly payments.
- AFP,
Reuters, AP and others will sue you if you copy, paste or reproduce their
news articles to your site.
- News
companies and sites such as CNN, The New York Times, Yahoo that relay
AFP, Reuters and AP news do not simply provide enough news on Africa. And
they all basically keep repeating different versions of the same news.
And they cover only the sensational. And...
The Africa
Newswire Network (ANN) has changed all that. If you are interested in
TOTALLY FREE NEWS, read on...
Our Mission
To be quick, let us say this:
Yes, our news are also
copyright-protected. If you simply copy and paste/post them to your site without
our written consent, we will sue you.
But why do that,
and risk a lawsuit when you can get the same news for FREE, easily!!???
You see, AFP, Reuters, AP and
all the biggies among news agencies charge thousands of dollars to Websites and
organizations that use their news. For instance, if you wish to get 5 to 10 news
articles from the AFP every day, do you know what you will pay? At least US
$3000 dollars a month.
Also, do you know that just to
get you going by setting up their delivery system to deliver news to your Web
site, Reuters will charge you a whopping $1500 upfront, in addition to the
thousands you will be paying monthly for their news service?
Compare: when you visit
the sites of big news organizations or companies such as CNN, the BBC, or even
sites such as Yahoo, Altavista that relay news from traditional news agencies
such as Reuters, AFP and AP, you will rarely find more than 5 new Africa-related
news articles daily. You will in fact find more old news, lots of them, than
fresh news of the day. And they all keep repeating barely different versions of
the same news. And they tend to limit themselves to the sensational events,
leaving the day-to-day happennings in Africa totally uncovered.
Because all the news
organizations above charge per number of articles delivered to you, you
mathematically may well have to pay up to US $100,000
or more to get all the news that they provide every day.
In brief, you cannot afford
ALL the news that the biggies provide.
BUT, you
can afford ANN's news, all of them, WITHOUT
PAYING a penny. Because there is no limit. And No fees to pay. No Setup
Fees either.
Here is how we work out our deal with
you.
Option 1- Free News for Web Sites
In this
section
1 - Linking to Us
2 - Free Framed News Page with Ads
3 - Free "No-Ads" Framed News Page.
You have several options in this
section. These options give you totally free, unlimited news in various formats.
You chose what you want...
Note: our free news options are available to both commercial and
non-commercial sites.
1 - Link to Us
Well, that's the easiest. And
it's traditional. You can simply link to us by adding our link (http://www.africanewswire.com) to your
site. Clean, simple, neat. Your visitors will be able to enjoy daily African
News, thanks to you.
2 - Free
Framed ANN News Page with Ads for your site
Technically, it is possible for
us to offer you a pre-made framed page th enable you to display our main news
page on your site, without leaving your site at all. Because the news display
frame will call up our page into your site, your visitors will never know they
have left your site.
Do not worry about paying us.
Your visitors will pay us for you by simply reading our news through you. At the
same time, you will allow them to take full advantage of our constantly updated
news in real time. Of course, if you are a techy, you can make your own framed
page. If you are not a techy, Click here to
apply for your framed news page today. We will send you the framed pages by
e-mail attachment. Simply install them into your server space, and link to them
from your site. See a
sample here. If you prefer the "No Ads" free-news option, read
below.
Note: our free news options are available to both commercial and
non-commercial sites.
3 - Free,
"No-Ads" Framed ANN News Page.
Well, that is a way of
speaking. This option is almost the same as the previous one above. Because,
under this option, you will get a framed page that is still linking to us, your
visitors will still have to come to our site to read their news.
But thanks to the
"frames", they will not even know they have left your site. What we do
in this option is provide you with a main news page (the first one) that does
not carry our ads or anything else, except some copyright notices somewhere on
the page. Thus, thanks to the frame, people will think this first news page is
yours since they will not have actually left your site. However, when clicking
on individual news articles, they will be loading into the main frame the
ANN pages that carry our articles with the ads. All this will still happen
without visitors actually leaving your site.
This option is perfect because
it gives the impression that you yourself designed the news page and provided
the links to our various main news of the day. Do not worry about paying us a
fortune. It's FREE. Your visitors will be paying us for you when they read our
news. A sample
"No-Ads" page is here.
Note: This option may include
the possibility of you designing your own custom page according to the look and
feel of your own site. Then, you would give us this page so that we can host it
on our server. This way, the page would look like your site while being fed from
our servers.
Cool, ain't it?
Note: our free news options are available to both commercial and
non-commercial sites.
Option 2
Free News Delivered by Email to Individuals,
Discussion Mailing Lists and All Other Email-Based Subscribers.
Simply put, when you subscribe
to our news mailing list through the subscription forms found everywhere on our
Web site, you will be able to receive African news directly in your email.
Because we know how much some of you hate email accumulation, we will make sure
the news of the day are grouped and sent to you only once or twice every
day.
The news will be delivered in
digest format. This means that all the news available on a specific day will be
sent to you via one single e-mail message. At times, and only if extraordinary,
we will send you a second email simply telling you about fast breaking news
available on our site. In sum, one news email per day, that is all (or two max,
when fast breaking news occur that we feel you need to know about).
Option 4
Fee-Based News Delivery Services
for Web Sites
In this
section
1 - Individuals with Individual, Non- Commercial Sites,
Non-Profit Organizations and Small Businesses with a Web site.
2 - Large to Medium-Size Companies, and Commercial Web Sites
These two options allow you
total independence from us when you get our news. We give you a code that you
paste into your own designed news page, and the news are automatically delivered
to your Web site. Because of the fee you pays us for this service, the main news
page and the articles pages that your visitors read will be totally
ad-free.
In other words, our ads will be
neither on your main newspage, nor on the news articles themselves. You will
have full control of the news pages, and you will even be able to run your own
ads on such news pages if you wish. All that we will require is that a small,
almost invisible copyright notice as well as small ANN logo remain visible on
your ANN fed news pages. This should not be a problem since sites like Yahoo
still have to display the Reuters or AFP logos on the news pages providing their
news. Same here.
What is this
gonna cost you?
1 - Individuals with Individual, Non- Commercial Sites,
Non-Profit Organizations and Small Businesses with a Web site.
This option was designed
exactly with you in mind. Because we know you cannot afford the thousands of
dollars that AFP, Reuters and AP charge for just a few articles (5-10 articles
per day could cost from $3000 or more, and because we also know you cannot
afford a lawsuit for unauthorized copying or reproduction of news, we decided to
build this Africa newswire network, just for you.
You can now simply pay from US
$25 to $100 per month for this service. Individuals will more likely pay $25,
whereas organizations and small businesses will pay anywhere between $50 and
$100 at the most. You can choose to pay the whole sum for an entire year, or pay
on a quarterly (3 months) or monthly basis. To pay for a year, you need
to send us a money wire (Western Union or other), an International money order,
or a check drawn on an American bank.
Your service will begin as soon
as we receive and confirm your payment. If you choose to pay on a month by month
basis, then you need to pay by credit card using our online payment
system (we will provide the link by email once we receive your order).
Your card will be charged every month or every three months, depending on what
option you chose. If you are ready, go ahead and order today using our online application
form. We shall respond promptly.
2 - Large to Medium-Size Companies/Commercial Web sites
Why pay the $3,000 that the
AFPs and APs and Reuters charge you for just 5-10 articles a day on any sort of
news, instead of having unlimited African news delivered to you or your Web site
everyday?
Why go to the biggies and lose
a fortune when you can get the same African news, but even much more daily
African news than they all combined can offer? Yes, in absolute terms, they
could, if they wanted to, give you much more news on Africa than we can (for
now) , but the fact of the matter is that you will not be able to afford ALL OF
THOSE NEWS without losing a fortune.
The
Alternative Has Three Letters: ANN.
The African News Network (ANN)
will give you unlimited African news, directly delivered to your Web
site, for a fraction of what you would pay to the biggies for just a few news
articles per day.
If you can afford to pay
from US $150 to $1000 per month just to have your own, dedicated African News
page fed with daily, unlimited fresh news nowhere else to be found, apply today
today. The price you will be paying will depend on the size and scope of you
company. But we promise you this: while you are with us, you will never pay more
than the amount you initially signed for ($150-$1000), no matter how big we grow,
and no matter how many more news we end up delivering every day. Fill our application form
and order your news today. Once we receive your application, we will email you
with the link you need to use in order to pay for your service, followed by
other instructions on how to activate your service once the payment is
confirmed.
We accept VISA, MASTERCARD and
AMERCAN EXPRESS credit card payment. Money-order, money wire
or check payments are also acceptable as long as they are done in a way
that can enable us to get the money via US-based financial institutions.
Remember, if you do not want to
pay, use our free news delivery options. Our free news options are available to both commercial and
non-commercial sites.
