Setting up a PayPal donation button on your site is very easy. Collecting donations from readers is hard, though. People are willing to donate, but they need to know how the money will be spent. Tell your story, explain why you need those donations, and offer something in exchange to your donors.
For instance, you can create a website which offers free downloadable products: you can ask website users to help you continue to run the website, create new products, upgrade hosting plan to offer better performance, etc.
If you are a musician, or an artist you can sign up to Patreon. com and collect donations through this site. Keep in mind that they will take a commission on you, but in exchange they offer a very good and secure platform to set goals and collect payments.
