How much is it to have my event flyer/poster published on ACN?
It's $5/month. Yes, month.
If you know you will have several monthly or annual events throughout the year, it is more economical to be a Supporting Advertiser for just $50/year. Yes, year. Pay once, and your done for the entire year.

Why do you charge for advertising?
Because, as a staff of one, managing a daily community news blog and social media for an entire county takes a lot of time and work.
Now, the reason I don't charge an arm and a leg is because I know how difficult it is to promote your business or organization on a tight budget. I figure, $5 isn't going to break anyone's budget.
I'm also more about the community's content rather than catering to an exclusive advertiser base. There should be room for everyone when it comes to promotion, especially for our local small businesses and services. Shop local!
I already have a Facebook page, why do I need advertising/promotion on ACN?
ACN has created the most affordable, effective platform for Amador County's local businesses and organizations. It's not enough to just post to your Facebook page; you need a means of effective promotion. Very few will know about your business or events if you only have a dozen hits by a few of your friends. We have often increased the reach by over 300% for many of our advertisers, simply by sharing (or even boosting) their post.
We have over 7,200 Likes and followers on our Facebook page. We publish, share and promote daily, Monday through Friday, and our "one-click-gets-you-there" Main page, Amador.news, is like a one-page online "newspaper", so readers won't get lost with multiple clicks and searches.
In three words? Significantly increased visibility!
Do you publish political ads/campaigns?
Yes, it's the same as regular advertising - $5/month, or $50/year for unlimited advertising and promotion. Keep in mind that ACN is a non-partisan, politically neutral community media platform, and does not endorse political parties or candidates.
How long has ACN been around?
This April 2019 will be twelve years. ACN started out as a simple community bulletin board-type web site in April of 2017.
