Tipjoy

Tipjoy is a service that allows bloggers to collect tips from happy readers. Bloggers can either add “tip this” buttons to each blog post or just put up a general “leave a tip” banner somewhere on their site.

Each click of the “tip this” button sends bloggers a small fixed amount set by the tipper (10 cents is the default). 96% of the tip amount goes to the blogger (2% goes toward PayPal fees and Tipjoy takes a 2% service fee).

Bloggers currently have two options for “withdrawing” their tips. They can either donate tips to charity or “buy” an Amazon gift card.

Tipjoy is a Winter ‘08 Y Combinator company.
