How do I make a paypal donate button effecive?

[netsavy006]

I have the paypal button on my blog, but how do I make it more effective so I can get the most possible donations? I know not everyone who donate but how can I create a great sales pitch that might help encourage some to make that click to donate.



The donations are to go to my hosting and domain.



Blog link is in sig.

Thanks,

I think its rather impossible to boost incentive to donate. The more you ask for money, the more people will be turned off. Place it in a visible spot, that's pretty much all you can do.



You might be able to sell things though? I know on forums, people sell paid memberships or special ranks.

I agree with Nebulous in the sense that it is difficult to give an incentive to donate. But you can assure them 100% that it is for the website, and to keep it running.



One incentive is to give them extra benefits you could make for your website.
