Platform for creators to earn income through tips, memberships, and sales.
What is Ko-fi?
Ko-fi is a mental health service that allows users to interact with an emotional support chatbot named Sai. Through these interactions, users can receive advice, guidance, and support regarding their emotions and mental well-being. They can also use a virtual personal diary to record whatever they wish to write. Additionally, Ko-fi enables creators to earn income from their loyal fans by accepting tips, setting up membership plans, responding to requests, and selling their works—all these functions are available in one convenient place.
How to use Ko-fi?
To use Ko-fi, creators need to create a free account and connect their own payment methods (PayPal or Stripe) in order to receive payments directly and immediately. Once this is done, they can share their Ko-fi page with their fans and start earning money. Fans can support these creators by using PayPal, credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, CashApp, or other local payment options.
