Obtaining donations on an adult site?
 

I have a forum, which I'm talking about in another topic, and was told that to help pay for bandwidth I should have a donation button. I commonly see PayPal donation buttons but contacted PayPal and they said I cannot use a donation button on my forum because it contains adult content (ie uploaded porn by forum members).

I'm Canadian and I dont have a credit card, cause I use my dads for the PayPal account and to pay for server prices, and I dont want to bother my dad anymore to use it. What options do I have to accept donations from people, without having to ask people to mail me money?

don't bother...nobody will donate shit to you. I tried that WAYYYYYYYYY back in the day and I got not one donation...But throw some pussy up there and charge them for it and you'll be straight.

I agree with BVF but if you want to give it a shot you can try ikobo

So will I make more than $50 a month, and use less than 1000GB of bandwidth a month, doing galleries 8 hours a week?

How does this "ikobo" work? Do I need a credit card to sign up? Do they accept money from credit cards and just send me a check every month?

You'll work 8 hours a week for $50 a month?

How old are you?

I've never done galleries before, and want to know what amount of time someone has to put in to make "X" amount of money. I seem to put in 8 hours a week into my forum and all I got this month was $50USD and a $150 overage bandwidth bill.

I'm 19

Why are you surprised? He makes more than the average GFYer.

Before my free site was supported by my paysites I used Amazon's Honor system to accept donations (100% private, no personal info given to me, only Amazon shown on cc bill) and did quite well with it. I recieved 357 donations with an average ticket of $20.00

been there! done that!
dont bother waisting your time.

why what happened?

most wont donate dont waste your time.

Canadian govt can fund your project.

Sell porn to your dad using his credit card.

Move out of the house

Get your own fucking credit card

And we'll see you in 5 years

i dont think it would be worth it but where theres a will theres a way, all you need for the paypal is the acct number nothing will be charged to it

Uh oh

i had a hentai site about a year ago before i got in to porn (hentai isnt really porn to me). So for fun i put the donation button up..not a lot of donation. THEN i made a stupid members page and said who ever donated above $5 gets in the members page. Thats when people started to donate like creazy. Maybe you should try this.

Dude i have been doing porn for 3 (well 4 since tomorrow is dec 1st) months! i make fucking $14,00/M. Fuck the forum make a TGP/MPG. Im 19 too!

That's what I was thinking...doesn't sound like it's working for ya...find something else and close the forum..it's costing too much and you aint makin shit...get as many partner accounts as you can and target your submissions and expect to work long hours...and don't give up

How can it ba a waste of time. If one single person sends you money, then it paid for it's self. Unless you have more important things to do.
