Diabetic-Diet-Secrets.com is privately funded by Toma Grubb, the webmaster and primary author of the www,Diabetic-Diet-Secrets.com website.

Diabetic-Diet-Secrets.com is a subscription site. Subscriptions are for the purpose of covering the operating cost of the site. All monies received from subscriptions will be applied in the following manner.

Money from subscriptions will first be applied to hosting cost. Hosting cost will increase as the site grows. As each hosting plan is exceeded the site will be migrated to a higher capacity hosting plan. The site will start on a shared server for lower cost. As site needs dictate, the site will be moved to a Virtual Personal server then to a dedicated server. At each staged the hosting cost will increase substantially. Money will be set aside from subscriptions to cover the anticipated hosting cost one year in advance

Once the hosting cost and anticipated hosting cost are covered, the excess monies will be used for two things: software and licenses to enhance the web experience for our members and advertising and promotion cost to reach out to other diabetics and others in need of this service. A realistic desirable advertising budget could easily exceed $10,000.00 USD per month. Should the site grow to the point that monies received from subscriptions exceeds these cost, the site will also be at a point where paid staff would be desirable. Qualified staff will be hired to maintain the site.
