>>I'd have to say that I've been getting reasonable attention with the divination I've been offering. <<
That's good to hear.
>>I think that doing it more consistently every month will help a lot; people respond better to a fixed schedule they can get used to. <<
That fits my observations with my own projects and those of others.
>> If that means it eats into personal reserves of time and energy, I can always cut back on hours or adjust the schedule another way.<<
Right. As a project grows, it tends to take up more time. I crashed into that once this year when my fishbowl got out of hand, but I was able to figure out which things I could hand off to volunteers. You'll figure out what works for you. Some diviners limit the duration of a session, and others set a particular number of requests that they'll fill.
>>Hopefully both participation and donations will increase next year.<<
Projects do tend to build over time, if they're good -- and especially if they're unique. I don't know of anyone else doing channeling, for instance, so that's in your favor. Maybe consider perks you can offer for the things you most want to encourage people to do.
