Accepting Donations

Well, it’s not my job to preach you about accepting donations for your blog. It is a decision that you have to make. Are you comfortable with accepting donations? Some people are not comfortable with monetizing their blogs, let alone accepting donations. But since you have already made up your mind about monetizing your blog you should have no problem in accepting donations.

There is nothing wrong with this. It takes hours to write a blog. If you think that your labor and the valuable info that you publish in your blog deserves to be paid then you should ask for donations from people. After all, you are not forcing anyone to pay you. People are free to donate as much as they wish.

All types of labor must be respected and compensated. Writing a blog by all means is an act of hard work. Though it’s not physical labor there are a lot of grey cells involved in the process and it deserves compensation.

Moreover, there are many people who feel it improper to use anything for free, especially when they use a thing for which somebody has worked hard. You will be amazed that you can rake in neat sums through this method.

It is a very convenient method of making or receiving payment. All the reader or visitor of your blog needs to do is to click on the PayPal donation tab. And then that would lead to a PayPal page where the visitor has to log in and make a payment of his choice. The amount gets transferred to your PayPal account immediately. Fast and easy.
