Donate Icon
-
Hello one and all.
I recently read on one post by a reply from one of the administrators ( I think it was,) regarding ways to generate income for the MyRouteApp project. This got me thinking that would it not be possible to have a small to medium size icon somewhere on the front of the webpage for people who do not wish to buy a full package to MyRouteApp, but might be happy to donate some money to the upkeep of the website / App.
I did this a few times on Tyre, I thought that as these people had put a lot of time and effort into these things, the least I could do would be to show my gratitude for using their hard work. I do have a lifetime membership, and soon to be the mobile app too. I know the lifetime members may not want to donate any money, and that would be fine, but it might generate some more income for the team. I for one, wouldn't like to see this brilliant place go under through lack of funds, as I'm sure all who are reading this would agree. It would be totally voluntary to donate of course.
Just a harmless thought, open for discussion. -

I have purchased the Gold edition/subscription of MRA for 2 reasons:- to have full access/control/options in MRA (webbased) to create/edit routes
- support the MRA team
I do like your idea about a donation button. Users can donate a certain (small) amount to support the MRA team.
However, if someone donates (let's say) €10,00 per month, after 12 months this amount is €120,00! So you are able to purchases the silver/gold subscription as well.
If you prefer a "1-time-and-never-again" donation, the MRA team might receive a lot of small donations something like between €1 and €10. I'm not sure if this could benefit the MRA team on long term period. Ofcourse, any donation is absolutly welcome.
At some website i see a donation button with fixed amounts like €2/€5/€10 etc.
That might be a solution to avoid everybody giving just €1 once a year.
But in overall, great idea!
