Sage 289 Share Posted December 11, 2018 So I plan to accept donations for my next rp site to help pay for premium costs, which I currently pay out of pocket. But I'm wondering if there are other paid services members might be willing to donate toward as a supplement to traditional rp. In the unlikely situation where donations are exceeded for covering premium costs (I know this likely won't happen - we'll be lucky if we get any donations at all), what would you allocate those excess funds to? I'm not trying to make a profit off of my members, so I'm curious if there are other features out there you, as a member, would like to see your donations to a rp site go toward. Any and all suggestions are welcome! a dark, urban fantasy; inspired by sailor moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arceus 1,081 Share Posted December 12, 2018 If anyone even still uses it, lol, I've seen people put up several months worth for cbox premium. All things considered, I think cbox still reigns as the most immediately user-friendly chat option, so, that's a thing to think about I suppose. Many people won't touch a Discord embed but they will pop into a cbox. I am the darkness, always watching, always listening, ALWAYS THERE.

Kit the Human 758 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Could you put any "profits" towards a prize pool for participating in events? Prizes could be say, commissioned art or vouchers for online stores. 2 1 PSI: an Occult Investigations RP Roleplay Architects: Grab a friend (or many friends!) and just write.

Admin Morrigan 1,826 Admin Share Posted December 12, 2018 Always putting the money back into the community is the best thing. As previously suggested things like art commissions, vouchers, online items, humble bundles, etc. Best thing to do is to ask your community what they would like to see if the site gets a lot of donations as they are the ones you'll be pleasing with that stuff. 2 1 Profile set made by myself and original Artwork by Fae Merriman, my daughter.

clipsed 231 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Domain name and premium cbox (if you use cbox, at least!) are the ones that most immediately come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jor 13 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Cbox and domain names are good, as others have mentioned -- but if you find yourself in excess even after that, I would just put the money aside for future needs. If, for example, all of your biggest donours suddenly disappeared, you could conceivably still get by with premium features for a few months if you have enough set aside. Essentially, you'd be putting that excess money towards sustainability. 1 • Dango Daikazoku • slice of life • small town • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
