Have you heard of Buy Me a Coffee? It is a simple way to support your favorite creators or artists. Whether you are the creator or the fans wanting to show support, Buy Me a Coffee offers benefits for everyone. 'Buying a couple cups of coffee' is really just showing your support by making small donations. Creators can offer additional services & monthly subscriptions to feature even more exclusive content for their fans.
Buy Me a Coffee For Artists
Okay this platform was really made with creators in mind. Not only can you write posts about yourself, create albums with your art, & share podcasts (coming soon!); you can upload extras. These can be purchased or offered for free. But don't forget about the membership options.
Extras
Are you the type of creative that has too many products/services to offer & nowhere to host them all? Offer all your exclusive content in one place. Create your own Extras from scratch, book a zoom class or chat, digital downloads, live events, art commissions & more. This platform keeps track of who has claimed & how much your Extras have earned.
Creating extras gets your followers excited to support you!
Membership
I have yet to set up a monthly/yearly membership option, but I need to start working on it. Creators can earn a full time income with these reoccurring payments from supporters. Earnings aside, you have the opportunity to share exclusive content with your most engaged audience! How exciting is that? Deepen your relationship with your fans and offer tutorials, exclusives, & other content that is not available to the public.
You also have complete ownership of supporters, which is another plus.

Buy Me a Coffee For Fans
'Buying a coffee' is an easy way to tell your favorite artist or creator to keep up the good work. It's an affordable way to offer support, even if you can't afford that art piece you've been eyeing yet. You also do not have to create an account in order to show your support!
You can also receive exclusive content from your favorite artists. The benefit os signing up for a membership is you get to build a stronger relationship with the creator. You'll be able to see content before anyone else, content no one else is going to see & more.
Leave a thank you note with your 'coffee' & offer suggestions for extras or membership only content. I would love some input on exclusive content you would like to see from my page.
Still Not Convinced?
Below is a screenshot from @buymeacoffee themselves. Many of you have probably heard of Patreon before, which is a similar platform. But looking below, it doesn't offer as much as Buy Me a Coffee. I haven't used Patreon but it seems like I found a platform that works with me & my many products & services.
Although it is still early in creating my account, I'm excited for the exclusive content & relationships to be created with my supporters.
