If nothing else, you could open with just a Patreon or something. Basically as a way of outsourcing the "subscription revenue" implementation until such time as something direct yourself makes sense.

I do have a Patreon, but I guess people aren't finding it and/or have ad-blindness to the words 'donate' and 'patreon' ;P

  I recommend saying 'Patreon' instead of 'Donate' on the site's main navigation menu! It does have a stronger effect because they'll associate it with a human being behind the screen.

  The links seem broken. On https://www.marginalia.nu/marginalia-search/supporting/ https://www.marginalia.nu/marginalia-search/supporting/, when I click the Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee links, they go to: https://www.marginalia.nu/marginalia-search/supporting/patreon https://www.marginalia.nu/marginalia-search/supporting/patre... https://www.marginalia.nu/marginalia-search/supporting/buymeacoffee https://www.marginalia.nu/marginalia-search/supporting/buyme... (the text of the links is correct though)

  You have my pittance! Your search engine is useful to me for recipes and that crazy cyberpunk network of back-alley Geocities-esque pages it's tapped into

  Please sell something business-like that people can purchase and expense. A book, software, something. I can't quite expense patreon and others may have a similar issue. (Useful "free SaaS" where all there is is the cup of coffee button makes me sad).

    I second this. My buyer won't even blink if I say that I need a $150 tool: I can just bill it to whatever project it's being used for as long as I get an invoice or a receipt or some kind of documentation. If I say that I found a free tool and I'd like to donate $10 to the author, no one will know how to do that.
