Many "big" German blogs are just about to introduce micro-payment service flattr. The principle behind this is simple: Each flattr-user pays a constant amount each month into their account. At the moment, the amounts are possible 2-20 €. At the end of the month then the amount will be divided among the bloggers whose articles you might care about. flattr't it as just one article a month, the whole 2 € the bloggers are divided. In two articles, there are then 1 € per blogger and so forth. For those who think the principle is still not clear, here is a little video, which should answer any questions.

I summarize this book many times the revenue flattr bloggers, to see whether the service is good for what.

Enno von YuccaTree Post +

Enno made ​​in mid-May flattr the button on his blog was built and all the surprise, but that at the end of the month 17.54 € came together. Mind you, that was only half a month.

Robert von written in basic

Robert Basic's flattr buttons were clicked 29 times last month. This resulted in a total of 4.91 €. However, one must also note here that he flattr the button until the end of May had built ("Did not Flattr run the entire month of May, but about 7-10 days before month-end").
Who else wants to read more statistics that I can on the article written in basic recommended. Robert has collected in a survey a few interesting facts.

Mark of netzpolitik.org

Mark is like the above candidates only recently in flattr, but already 39 € could take .

taz

Yes, even the daily newspaper is in flattr and thus tries to monetize the web page. It is probably here a duty to say that even on this site only for 12 days before the first payment 1 June is entered in flattr. The taz trumps all other blogs but with a proud sum of € 143.55.

Johnny by spreeblick

Spreeblick also went on to score a proud sum. Said Johnny was taken after 14 days € 110.94. Furthermore, it is now also a survey in his article that asks whether one uses flattr.

carta

Even now uses carta flattr and can finish with rich € 122.56 in May. However, I find the article anything about how long the button was installed in May. It may well be that even at the May carta only had "12 days".

lawblog

The flattrt lawblog and also came to € 33.06.

The Lunatic Fringe Tim Pritlov

By far the most successful "Flattrer" Tim was Pritlov . He could even crack the 200 euro mark and closed the month of May with very, very proud from € 208.54. He has a distance of about 65 € from the "runners", the taz. However, one must say that Tim was one of the first. He says in his article that he has the User ID 243rd There are now over 16,000 users. In addition, Tim was able to retract the May 1501 clicks, which are thus 14 cents per click.

So that was once a small digression into things blog revenue. By and large, it probably looks as if will be worth flattr. For many blogs, this seems to be a nice side income. What I find amazing is the high amount of the taz as well as spreeblick because flattr is currently in beta and not many users is one (mind you, just to get a invite to one account).

For a comprehensive analysis must be flattr give more time and see how the story developed. Cheers!
