How successful have donations been with your site?
knightinblue: Steve Pavlina (www.stevepavlina.com) and Leo Babauta (www.zenhabits.net) are the 2 who come to mind when talking about making money from donations. Leo actually makes enough to have quit his day job (last I heard).According to them, you need 2 things to make this work -
1) steady regular audience
2) they have to really like you or at least what you have to say
