Help w/ donations

[JustAndrew]

Hey, I was wondering if there is a specific way you guys convince your players into donating to your server.

If you are willing to explain your method, I will give you a vouch in return.

Also what are the most enjoyable server types that will get donations?

He is right, make a good server. Also convincing/making players donate to your server is not a good idea. Your just enforcing Pay2Win...

I'm looking to make a server people like that will give me profit.
Like 1 donation on the first to second day.

Put your prices super high, then have a huge sale "75% just for this week!"

"Profit" So Pay2Win. Anyways, There isn't really any way to convince your players to donate, which is kinda like forcing, Which is pretty stupid...

So many servers do this, and since players think "oh shit sale is about to end! gotta buy my rank rn" tons of people do it, the server keeps the sale forever saying "ending soon", and people keep buying. *cough* opcraft *cough*

I don't get why most people that own servers are money whores. Like if i put up donations i try to not make it op, and i don't put "ending soon sales", Just tells that that server/owner of that server is a shitty money whore

Make deals with a player, Like say Next person who buys a rank gets a free cate key

I used to say next person who buys this $15 rank gets co-owner. xD

If your sole purpose in running a server is "I wanna make a lot of money", don't run a server.

 

[JustAndrew]

Can someone come up with a good server name?
I also need a good server gamemode that will get donations.[DOUBLEPOST=1471465883][/DOUBLEPOST]

I used to make them for fun, then I realized the profit m8.

You realized the profit? Doesn't seem as if you've made any if you're asking for advice on how to make profit.. but that's none of my business. When people go and rent servers and try to make an amazing server to make profit and they rely on donations to fund the server from the start, they always fucking fail. It's usually little kids thinking "I'll get rich quick!"

Running a server isn't about "ez money". That just proves the server sucks. Like make $50 and shutdown next month. Owning a server is about having fun and getting a warm feeling that players enjoy your server, and you are making a good amount of money from it, to use on the server and maybe to pocket a few. Not make "ez money" and shutdown next month

Im realizing now why Mojang changed their EULA. To stop madness like this.

 

[ProNinjaKiller]

Mojangs EULA is failing if you have not noticed no big server cares about it.[DOUBLEPOST=1471542259][/DOUBLEPOST]
Always have a sale. I would keep it at 50% off at all times. And when there is holidays or just have a random flash sale of 70% off. Make sure the sale is advertised in chat a lot. Not to much though just enough for them to not forget about. Also never ask your players for donations. Once 1 player donates that's when the donations will come.

Ikr. But my point is, its so ridiculous JustAndrew want he's server to be a crappy money machine, which he has highest spent 5 minutes on. That fact he won't even spend 5 minutes, to find a name or a gamemode to he's server is just sad.
