Instead of through Paypall like recurring donations, if you made a Patreon instead? A big part of Patreon is donor-only perks or benefits, and being part of a monthly draw would definitely be one such bonus, and I believe you can message your donors (like about stuff like this post) directly as a group through there vs putting the word out through the blog where people who don't donate might feel left out.Jennifer Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962220178855071749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-84739048496314058372020-01-21T02:25:49.006-05:002020-01-21T02:25:49.006-05:00Hmmm, good point.

I immediately went to subscribe, and was a little frustrated that the option to "pay with credit or debit card" forced me to create a Paypal account. Which I knew I already had but couldn't remember the password because I haven't used it in ages, so I wanted to skip all that. But I couldn't, so I had to go through the process to confirm who I was with Paypal, log in with a code, answer my security questions, and reset my password. On the plus side, I am now a subscriber, so yay! I am so happy to support what I consider to be one of the best sites on the internet. Long live Epbot!!

Even for a one-time donation, I probably have said "yes, I should do that" only a hundred or so times when I'm inconveniently on my phone and don't want to do it right then. I don't need any more things, but I am happy to have the pointer to set up a recurring donation!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11374646207906861710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-52483225639639942052020-01-19T21:42:59.177-05:002020-01-19T21:42:59.177-05:00What a cool idea!
