+_We don't want to pay for sponsorship every month. Are there any other options?_
+
+Yes. You can sponsor on a yearly basis by [switching your GitHub account to a
+yearly billing cycle][35]. If for some reason you cannot do that, you could
+also create a dedicated GitHub account with a yearly billing cycle, which you
+only use for sponsoring (some sponsors already do that).
