How much you earn from donations?

Hi,

How much you earn with donations?
If possible share it with us and let us know since when you are accepting donations?
I am thinking of adding "Donate" button on my websites.

Thanks

 

I have earn $200 from donations for 1 year

 

Well, you wont loose money if you add "donate" button on website, will you?

 

$100/month using this http://www.donate.net/html/default.asp

 

It can't hurt. I would say definitely try it out.

 

when i tried , nothing , i had a radio station with good amount of listeners but no donations

 

I don't see any reason not to add... it would be better just having it there in case someone does want to donate.

 

I earned 0$ till now..But using a block for donation in forum till Feb 2007..

 

do you do donations on only forums or websites too?

 

I use a donations link, but it really goes to the paid subscriptions of my forums. So when someone makes a "donation" they are moved into the premium members group, which get certain "perks" on my site.

Donations are ok, but it would help if you could sell premium memberships to go along with that donation. That way the member will get something in return.

My "donations" are set at $5 a month. Members can make a single $5 donation, and then it goes up to $150 for a lifetime membership in the Premium / VIP group. If a member makes a $10 donation, they get 2 months in the premium / VIP user group. At the end of that 2 months, the site will send them an email letting them know their subscription is about to run out. Some renew their premium membership, some dont.

"Donations" have supported my site 100% for well over a year. I prefer paid memberships and donations over banners, as it allows me to offer a quality site to my members. And with paid memberships, I get paid right then, instead of having to wait for a check after so many banner clicks or ad impressions.
