 * I’m making an experimental project which provides a method for the target audience
   to make an entry into a database and/or search the same database for information
   important to them. In order for the project to work I need to charge a nominal
   fee of $1 for either an entry or a search of the database. This provides funds
   for it to run plus acts as a reasonable spam/abuse prevention method.
 * However, the target audience is mostly made up of people with minimum wage jobs,
   the fee itself wouldn’t be a problem for them to afford but having a credit card
   or a Paypal account may be.
 * I am looking for suggestions as to how I could offer an alternative way for them
   to pay the fee. I was thinking maybe get them to fill out one of those paid for
   questionnaires then sending them a link to a private page which allows an entry
   or search to the db without payment.
 * If anyone has any better suggestions I would love to hear them 🙂

 * Hey there!
 * Why wouldn’t a PayPal donate button be feasible? If it’s just one dollar than
   that seems fair, I don’t know what type of website so I cant really judge further
   than that.
 * You can try incorporating some sort of thing where they can finish a survey with
   your referral link and then you get a certain monetary value if they do..
 * I’m lost to where and which website can offer something like that, I think you
   should consider the PayPal button but that’s just my two cents.
 * Maybe have the questionnaire as a backup if they cant pay with PayPal.
