You spend lots of time writing original content for your blog. You make sure it looks spiffy. You even offer a few downloads of your tutorial demos. Amazon Honors Program lets your visitors show their appreciation by donating as little as $1! Full story: zme.amazon.com My story is quite simple. Nice guy gets HIV fourteen years ago. Almost dies because he wasn't taking care of himself and has to go on disability. Determines that he wants to live and gets better. Uses his life experience to educate others on ways to protect themselves and how to love living life to it's fullest if you are HIV positive. Gets offer to work full-time again and moves to New Orleans. Six months later gets kicked out for Katrina. Loses quite a bit in storm. Decides to return to find life and job obviously harder than before. Has to move three times. One roommate steals $1,000 apartment deposit and has him evicted. Stress causes job performance problem. Nice guy has to resign or be terminated. Nice guy now sits at computer trying to work at his second love... making websites and turning them into money on the internet. Nice guy has been through alot but is looking forward to a fantastic 2007. Let's switch narrative persons and stop boring you! As I started learning more about designing these websites and researching how to make them pay, I stumbled across a few great sites (this one ranks high on the list) and alot of wonderful people who have helped me through the scams. I have always lived my life honestly and have a desire to pass on whatever knowledge I have to others who may seek it. That brings us to my blog that I am writing as I learn things about making money on the internet. Check out my blog if you would like so you can see what I am trying to do. I also would love some honest critiques and feedback. My blog features just a few ad publishing modules and nothing else to make money. I thought about adding a store and began researching some of the sites I learned would work. Of course they all wanted a ton of site hits which I do not have yet. Then I stumbled upon something at Amazon's website. It's a little gem of a program called Amazon Honor System. It seemed perfect for my venture and I wanted to pass it on to all the readers at Digital Journal. Amazon's Honor System lets you take voluntary payments or donations from visitors to your site. You can also receive payments for digital content you provide. With Amazon's customer base of "tens of millions" of registered customers and their simple and secure payment system, Amazon's Honor System allows you to receive payments or donations as low as $1! The following bullet points from their website tell it all: * Collect voluntary payments for your Web site. Your visitors have free access to your Web site. They like the information and entertainment you provide and would appreciate the opportunity to say "thanks." With the Amazon Honor System, your site visitors can make payments to support your continued operations. * Sell your digital content. Your visitors would eagerly pay for the MP3 music tracks, fiction, commentary, or artwork you offer. You'd like to sell your content, but e-commerce engines and digital rights management systems are expensive and hard to use. With the Amazon Honor System, your visitors pay you to gain access to your digital content. So I decided to venture in and give it a try. After all, Amazon is well-established and it seemed like this program was calling out to me. My traffic volume is just beginning to build and so it seems people have some desire for the content I am posting. Maybe they would help this Katrina boy out! I am in love with the Honor System program. Not only is it simple to set up, it is easily to customize. You can have pages with personalized thank you notes and even follow up thank you emails. Exit urls can be programed to return your visitor to any part of your website. That means you can restrict access to certain areas until someone pays (that may come in handy later). But here's the kicker -- they have a "mini-store" that can hold up to 54
