Many bloggers add a donation button to their blogs asking readers to make a monetary donation to keep the blog going. Donations are sometimes solicited with clever taglines such as, "If you like this blog, why not buy me a cup of coffee?" If you decide to add a donation request to your blog, just keep it in line with your personal style.The logistics of adding a donation request to a blog are really very simple. The easiest way is to sign up for a PayPal account, then paste the HTML code for the donation button into your blog's sidebar. The donation link (pictured above) leads your readers straight to PayPal where they can easily make donations. More information can be found HERE.
Hi Mia, thanks for the link to the PayPal donation button. I'm wondering if you use that button on any of your blogs, and do you get donations?
ReplyDeleteYes, I do have a PayPal donation button on a couple of my websites. It is used now and then by friends and family wishing to support my online activities. None of my colleagues are able to fully fund their websites and blogs with donations alone, but every little bit helps. I recommend accepting donations, reporting them according to income tax laws in your country of legal residence, and being realistic about what you expect to gain.
