A small tip for those who accept donations

    Although I can't quite say the same will work the same for everyone, I've noticed that the rate of donations I receive increase on sites that include a donation progress bar, as opposed to those that don't. If you haven't tried it out already, I suggest you give it shot. If you can automate the progression bar, then great.

    Does anyone have any techniques they want to share that'll help increase the frequency of donations?

    I can't say that I've tried having a donations button at all but it's an interesting concept - it's something I've been meaning to do so I'll put a progress bar on and see how well I get on... I'll report back and let you know ;)

    I will give back more to reader in term of content if the donation is reached target for the particular month.
    This way it increase my donation up to 20%
