Firearms Guide, the ONLINE search able database!
Firearms Guide Online, a searchable database on firearms, technical data and prices. Realized by the Los Angeles based Impressum Media publisher, access to their information is regulated under paid subscriptions.
The QUESTION is simple, and of interest for any online publisher: why to pay money to access online information services?
The ANSWER is simple as well: because paying a fee is the more reasonable way to act, if you desire reliable information, but you don’t want to waste time in absurd searches among tons of online “free” but “unverified” or “wrong” data.
So, if you press buttons on the keyboard just to spend some time going online, probably without never searching nothing in particular, then stay as you are: do it for free.
But if you do use online information for professional, business or study purposes, or because of a strong passion in what you do, then you know that the time you spend in searching what you are looking for, has a value. And the more time you waste, the more it has a real cost for you.
The old say “Time is Money” applies to web searches also. Especially nowadays, in an Information World where many people use the web on a daily basis for business reasons.
Whoever in 2016 still keeps going declaring that online information must be free – but never specifying what kind of information we are talking about - is wrong (and quite stupid, also).
As a matter of fact, every time we access web based information, and given for granted that we are talking about quality and well-done publications, this always means one very simple thing: someone has worked hard to provide you with that information, granting its quality and making it valuable for you. And therefore, worth paying for it.
So, nothing different from what serious print publishers do since many years with their print publications: creating quality and valuable contents, paying staff and contributors costs to do it the right way, and asking people (and advertisers) to pay a fee to access them.
We normally buy something because 1) we need it, 2) we like it. But sometime also, we pay to support good ideas and work. Sometimes also simply because the result... it’s useful.
So, let’s now move to the real object of this article, just in case you still don’t know about it.
Editor note: yes, it is a promotional article and you will find it somewhere also, but maybe, after this long and necessary introduction, you will now look at it with different eyes…
