Open Mic Monday: Do You Have a Tip Jar?

Tip jars are something I’ve never really experimented with, when it comes to making money online. Sure, I’ve suggested it before because I know some folks have used this avenue to raise funds. However, I’ve always been hesitant to use it myself.
But, ever since I’ve heard about ScratchBack/Topspots, I thought I’d give it a go.
Well, after a few months of thinking about it, I’ve finally signed up for an account and installed the widget over at ShaiCoggins.com. I haven’t asked my readers from my personal blog to check it out yet. So, I’m not sure what the reaction will be like. Once I announce it, I’ll let you know.
What about you? Have you ever used a donation button or tip jar? Why or why not? And, how’s it working for you? What about Scratchback/Topspots? Have you tried it - and what do you think of it?

I had a ScratchBack widget on my site for awhile, but it showed no activity. I took it down and left my PayPerPost hire me widget up. I still don’t have any activity with that either.

I have never used them because I dont want to be seen asking for money. If people want to advertise then they can email me, but Im not going to beg.

At the encouragement of my community I installed a Scratchback widget and a tip jar. I get a few donations a month which enables me to pay the wonderful woman I have helping me search for job leads.
