This has probably been mentioned before, but an approach which might be useful would be;
- allow people to post free. I certainly wouldnt have got involved if I had to pay at first- sending my credit card details to someone I didnt know and trust in another country at a website wouldnt feel safe.
- have a policy something like 10 posts then emailed and asked to make voluntary donation, making it clear you dont have funding and with some indication of value eg $10 pays one weeks ISP (or whatever).
- use some system which is as clearly safe as possible eg if outside US, can't just post you a cheque/check- one way I have paid is at www.drglobal (or whatever its called) which uses a separate payment site.
-mention all of this in the initial registration process
-make the donation link a bit bigger than the others and separate, rather than tucking it modestly right at the end of a list...
