Soliciting user donations to fund a website might not be the most sustainable, or profitable, business model, but these baseball writers found that when you’re willing to provide users the content they really want and can’t get anywhere else, asking them to chip in to help get it may not be out of the question.

“The best gauge at the moment of the impact of the new site is WHO is ‘engaging’ with the site. We have new bloggers who did not previously participate. We have new people uploading reader pictures who did not previously engage with the website. We have people commenting on stories, blogs etc who did not previously interact. We have gone from a limited conversation between the same 10 people to a much bigger conversation with more varied and interesting topics.”
