How you can help this project

	Apart from contributing new information to the database you can help the project in other ways. The main problem we are currently facing is how to make people aware that this website exists. I doubt that search engines will ever send people to this site, because, apart from technical pages like this one, there are no human readable texts that the search engines can index. I briefly tried social media marketing, but it didn’t really work, or at least it needs much more effort to make it work.

I briefly tried social media marketing, but it didn’t really work, or at least it needs much more effort to make it work.

	And that’s where you can help. You can tell everyone you know about this website. Post a link on your social networks. If you have a website, post a link there. Link to this page (<code>https://historytimeline.app/wiki/index.php/Main_Page</code>), not the actual [https://historytimeline.app/ Timeline]. If you send new people directly to the Timeline, they will likely not know what they are looking at and leave the site immediately.		And that’s where you can help.

	Tell me if you need a link back to your site. I’m going to add a list of friendly sites on this page.		Tell me if you need a link back to your site. I’m going to add a list of friendly sites on this page.

	Once there is some audience, I’ll try to monetise the project by accepting donations (for example on Patreon). I want to be able to work on the project full time eventually. Theoretically it should be possible, since this project has a potential to become very big. I mean, history is relevant to every living person. Once we have enough information on the website, it can be useful to millions of people. On the other hand, I live in a very cheap country where $500 would cover all my monthly expenses. Of course, I’d need a bit more, so I don’t feel like a loser, but still the goal seams achievable.
