Stacy McCain explains the joys of the “Notification of Donation Received” email.
Every time somebody hits the tip, I get a message with the subject line “Notification of Donation Received.” And today, in response to my thank-you, one of the regulars wrote back a brief note, saying that he was also going to hit Pete’s tip jar. He paid me a compliment, and so I replied: ….
The core readership of any particular small-to-medium blog — people who visit a site on an almost daily basis — may only be 50 or 100 or 200 people. And $10 is the cost of two Happy Meals at McDonald’s. Despite the Obama recession, I’m absolutely certain that a core blog readership of 100 people could support any site to the tune of $1,500-$2,000 per month just $10 or $20 at a time. …
I just looked at my Pay Pal account and there are three transactions: two donations to bloggers going through a rough stretch, and a donation to Soldiers Angels Foundation. Under “Payments Received” there is nothing. Not that things are terrible around here, but it sure is appreciated on those rare occasions that one of you decides to hit the tip jar.
But enough about me, Zilla and Da TechGuy could both use a little bit of help this month. Unlike many of the left-of-center blogs, there are no blogger sugar daddies on the conservative side of things.
Update: Another way to help your favorite blogger earn a few bucks is to go through that blogger’s Amazon links to do your online shopping. Here’s one to the Amazon Salepage. Any purchases made going through this link will give little old me a small commission.
Recently someone bought a $60 radio, netting me $2.64. Someone else bought a $35.96 chime, which gave me $1.44.
Update 2: Wow! I opened my email and found a notification of a donation received from Stacy McCain himself! Thanks! ![]()
Update 3: Jimmie Bise linked, and knows a few other bloggers in need of funds. Forget politicians and PACS, give to bloggers! At least you know what you’ll get for your money with us. ![]()
Update 4: It seems that the only people interested in this post are other bloggers.
