This is a blog on how you earn money for your server w/o breaking the EULA,

1. Advertisments- Talk to your hosting service or a youtube channel maybe the hosting service will give you some free months or discounts to advertise them in server. Or get some sort of product/service to advertise in exchange or compensation.

2. Premium servers- This has been discussed but its hard to go about, I would recommend to use this strictly on hub servers have your standard then some premium server with something reallyyy cool.

3. Cosmetic items- Like trails hats etc a lot of servers are idiots about this and overcharge like 5$ for a trail this is basic supply and demand you have a unlmited supply of these items why charge ridiculously for them? you can sell multiple so I would go at 10-75 cents per item you will get more sales and still make profit.

4. Donations- this is what it is encourage players to donate for nothing that by definition is a donation if your server is good enough people will help you.

5. Sponsorship- this is semi like the 1st one contact your host and pitch an idea tell them you will advertise the host and give all donations to them. Now if the idea is creative interesting and has potential to be popular the host can give you servers for free

6. Investments- this is kindaa like sponsorship except its easier to get but you have to pay them back, basically you ask around and tell people hey invest 10$ in my server and I'll pay you back within 1 year at a 5% intrest rate. This is better if you need emergency money from a slow month on donations and is only recommended as a last resort.

7. Your parents- You all know what this is don't ask questions because you all know
