~ $30/month from donations covers my Digital Ocean bill for the month.

I'm also trying to get some sales & affiliate revenue going with athletic wear designs on Zazzle. Starting with a niche to get rolling then probably expanding to more general designs. The biggest problem I've hit so far is their fulfillment times & prices.

Any revenue from the ad?

After 6 or 7 years I think I finally had enough for Google to drop a direct deposit in my account. That's, what, $100?

It's pretty unobtrusive up in the corner there. I'm sure it suffers from banner blindness. But I don't want to load the page up with ads. It's a tool for other devs, not really a revenue source. But the donations are nice.

Nothing wrong with that. It's a nice tool. Glad to hear the donations help keep it alive.
