Don’t be afraid to ask for some loose change when you blog!

Blogging doesn’t have a lot of overhead, but you have to pay for your hosting and for all that time you spend posting, marketing your blog, negotiating with the stars of hollywood, etc. Don’t be afraid to ask for donations.

If an article that you wrote provided value to someone, including a quick and easy way for them to say thanks in the amount of their choosing is a great way to help a newbie blogger monetize their blog. A new blogger might not have the advertising masses beating down their door, but when traffic does start to flow in, are you set up for people to say thank you?

I downloaded a wordpress plugin called Buy Me Beer which lets you choose custom beer or coffee icons. It lets you choose a sidebar widget and/or a link below each post for folks to show their love of your work.

Buy me a beer!
