3. Create a story that grabs donor's attention! Be honest and funny! Try engaging your readers by explaining why you need the money and what great use you'll put it to. Maybe even add some flash games for free to entertain your visitors. Your visitors are tipping for the entertainment value you provide.

5. Try to get readers. Optimize your site so that people can find it in search engines, and use social media to your advantage to get more viewers. Chances are, most people who stumble upon your page won't donate, so you'll need a very wide audience in order to make money. If you have a good cause, keep at it!

Tips

Be honest, be funny, be creative. The money may seem free but to create the web page and keep donors updated on what you have collected is work. They are paying to be entertained.
Send an individual thank you email to all donors (donations are NOT tax deductible to the donor).
Update your page; let philanthropists know they are making a difference.
Depending on where you're listing your site, you may be able to use advertisers or affiliate programs for a little extra money. Google AdSense is one possibility

Warnings

Don't put your address on the page.
All money made is to be treated as income and filed as such on your taxes.
Don't accept checks.
Spam is illegal and you should never resort to spamming your site, instead build a reputation by having an interesting and interactive site.
Make sure internet panhandling is not against any local or national laws in the country you live in.
