Good luck with this. Soon you'll be raking in many, many dozens of cents. You're well on your way to funding yourself a small order of fries at McDonald's.

Is this a joke? If not, boo! And I have no need for your services.

Thats not how it works.
You need to get advertisers involved in your posts so when we read them they pay you hoping we will mistakenly click on some irrelevant ad.

...also donations are not very American either unless you offer a tax break. Seems to me capitalism is more about people liking to keep their money not giving it away for things that are free

none of the above. no one is forcing you to provide content. we all assume you do it for pleasure, as indeed i do. it is one thing to ask someone to buy something, then provide a price or ask for a donation in payment if the person buys, or to submit writing to a paying site and expect the agreed-upon compensation. it is another to be offered a chance to express oneself, without the chance of rejection for being inept, or displeasing, or otherwise unprofessional, and then expect payment on top of that. you may as well ask facebook to pay you. this is a place to communicate with others of like interests, not a paying venue for your "work." if you consider it work, you should probably find a paying venue for it. this isn't one.

I'm beginning to think this isn't going to become the goldmine I had hoped it would. What if I offered a 10% off coupon? Would that do it for ya?

I'll sweeten it even more: 10% off and a coupon for a bag of prunes!

Dream on mate!

Nice try. Here's a tip, add nudity.
