I have a discounted membership, but don't see how to renew for that amount - please advise ASAP!

you can only renew with these options now Renew your subscription for $15.00 per month Renew your subscription for $162.00 per year (10% discount) more detailed info here: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=F6ECAF28444A58538F4CF59

That's way too much. Over $200 Canadian. A rather large jump from $50.

For more information on the changes take a look at this post from David Book: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=F6ECAF28444A58538F4CF59

Basement - You've been here a while, you get the value, don't you?

no. I earn around $300CDN a year from what I have on here. Now that's eaten up by $150 US here and $100 US with Apple

>$100 US with Apple This you have to pay regardless of Buzztouch. Here is a quick look at what two BT competitors offer: Seattle Clouds http://seattleclouds.com/prices.aspx 15 USD -- 1 basic app, one platform, one update per month iBuildApp http://ibuildapp.com/pricing.php 15.60 USD per month, one app, 3000 downloads, white label (meaning iBuildApp will not use your app to promote itself) Buzztouch https://www.buzztouch.com/pricing/ 15 USD per month, up to 50 apps, and each of these 50 apps can be created for both Android and iOS I remember times when a basic app cost 6 bucks with iBuildApp, now it is 15. I also remember times when BT was free. Then it was from 30 up to 80 bucks per year, now it is five or two times more expensive. For David Book, the decision was simple: the price will go up or there will be no more money to pay for the servers (plus other expenses an Internet based business has nowadays). In his last webinar, now a couple of months ago, David said that about two thirds of BT customers were from undeveloped countries, and that they do not pay ANYTHING to BT, while he has to pay taxes, computers, servers, himself and so on. So the price went up and we are facing the consequences. Each of use here, the BT customers, has to decide whether to -- leave the apps business, -- continue with creating apps somewhere else, -- create apps as professional programmers do, from scratch, -- continue using BT but try to make more money from it. So, @basement: Can you reach out to make Android apps and put ads into them? Can you invest some additional effort into marketing your current apps -- create a video or two and put them on YouTube, use forum marketing where appropriate and so on? Can you create a popular app, put ads into it and thus cover the additional cost of BT membership? Can you start creating apps for someone else -- there are many individuals here that have successfully created a one man shop and even full agencies with employees, in the business of apps creation?
