The desperate measures one will take for Legos

Oct 07, 2007 0 Replies

I am trying to raise money for my Lego hobby, and will sell space on my website for donations. It's also a sort of experiment. If you or anybody you know have a small business or a blog and would like some more exposure, there is space available.



The site is

It's been up for a few days now and there's been a lot of traffic so far. I expect it will continue to grow because word has been getting around.



There are full instructions at the site, but it basically works like this:


  • for * for $0.65, I will give you a link back to your site.
    *
    for $2 or more, I will do a second mention of you on his blog with another link to your site
    * for $10 or more, you can send me a banner ad.
    *
    higher donors are at the top of the site.
    * site will be up for two years..65, I will give you a link back to your site.
  • for or more, I will do a second mention of you on his blog with another link to your site
  • for or more, you can send me a banner ad.
  • higher donors are at the top of the site.
  • site will be up for two years.


10% of all money earned is donated to charity. After my goal is reached, all further donations will be given to charity. I think it would be nice to start a permanent charity, but it depends on how much response is received.



I've got a FAQ and full instructions up at the site. You can also check out my blog at

Examples of current people donating:

- photographer (and another another one committed!)



- organic/home-remedy store in California



- Green-tech blog



- musical equipment vendor



- non-profit groups



Thanks for looking!
