Ko-fi

Ko-fi is a creator platform that lets you receive voluntary tips, sell digital and physical products, offer paid memberships, and take custom commissions. It's built by an independent team around a single principle — creators should keep as much of what they earn as possible. It suits artists, illustrators, musicians, writers, podcasters, streamers, and anyone with an audience who wants to make a living from it.

It works simply: you set up your own page with a support button, share the link, and fans send you a one-off contribution or sign up for a recurring monthly membership. The money lands directly in your PayPal or Stripe account, so you don't wait for platform payouts. A dashboard shows who supported you, how much came in, and how you're progressing toward your goals.
