Donations

[Shawn Gossman]

I use a service to ask for donations from my blog readers.

Some have told me that it's begging for scraps. However, I usually get a few donations per article I write. I get even more when I promote the page on my newsletter issues.

How do you feel about using a service like this to earn money through blogging?

Not a bad idea Shawn.

Just a few hours ago, my wife mentioned how one of her readers consistently gives her donations of 50 to 100 bucks.

She's a professional blogger who runs a coaching business but is always open to money through various channels.

Yep. And for some niches, a Patreon page would be appropriate.

My hiking brand has a Patreon page with around 20 active subscribers on it.
