I'm trying to earn $6,000 quarterly, mostly through sponsorships of $5 per reader, plus limited ad sales. Please use the "Donate" tool in the green rail, upper right. Or mail cash/checks payable to: Jim Hopkins, 584 Castro St. #823, San Francisco, Calif., 94114-2594.

Was the fourth quarter the first you took donations? How much total did you get?
ReplyDeleteAre most donations $5? How many different people donated in the fourth? How many now so far?
If most are $5, then request $10 next quarter and make the goal. I'm sure you've thought of this, but I think you would be at your target that way. What you get now is impressive.
Also, can't you add non-adsense ads?
jim,
ReplyDeletesending in $10, but look on the bright side, you're now more profitable that most newspaper companies
your ad sales are worse than the industry average. i guess even bloggers are hit by the ad recession.
ReplyDeleteBlogger is free, so at least your hosting overhead is low!
