Don't take for granted how many ad supported sites and services you use :)
I have a website with several writers that serves almost half a million monthly pageviews and we are entirely ad supported. The only reason my writers have jobs and we are able to provide the recipes and information that we provide is because of ads.
- zelphirkalt 4y agoSo many viewers, why not start asking for voluntary donations? You could dial back ads, and thereby tracking, to the same degree you receive donations. Over time see how far it goes.
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoThis is naive. People simply don't donate, it doesn't work. It just doesn't
- zelphirkalt 4y agoThis is naive. If you don't try, you never know for sure : ) But that easy retort aside, there are many creators, who live off of donations. And as a matter of fact, it also cannot be correct, because I count myself as "people" too and donated to several projects/creators.
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoWe aren't a "project" and we aren't individual creators. It works okay for certain types of audiences, but does not work for my type of audience. I know my business model well and there is a reason none of my competitors ask for donations either - it doesn't work.
