Why Does Anyone Want To Earn Donations on Discord?

Before we answer this question, let us make this as clear as crystal. Donations in Discord are not some charity.

In Discord, there are limited ways you can earn money. One of them is donations, whereby the fans of your community make monetary contributions to encourage you and boost your morale.

These donations are community members’ support or appreciation for you, more like a tip for the services provided to you.

You can get this tip or donation from members in multiple ways. You can provide them with your PayPal account to make their donations or create a separate donation area for Patreon members.

Alternatively, you can use a donation bot to automate the collection of donations in exchange for some incentive.

Some other ways to earn from Discord are affiliate marketing, advertising, sponsorships, and others.
