📰 Corner Newsstand

Let me ask you something real quick: how much money do you think you left on the table last month? We gotta stop waiting for these platforms to pay us. We gotta stop waiting for our products and services to be ready.

The crazy thing is, your followers, your fans, they already wanna support you. They've been wanting to support you! But we over here scared to ask.

I'm a keep it 100, I was the type of person who was terrified to set up a tip jar/sharing my cash app, etc. Terrified! I didn't wanna sound thirsty, I didn't wanna sound like I was begging. I was always big about giving value, giving value, giving value. But never asking for support because I thought it made me look like it was all about money.

So this is where everything changed for me. I finally set up my YouTube channel membership, right? And people were excited to be a part of it! Like, more excited than I expected!

Here's what I realized: we're thinking about it wrong. We thinking it's a money grab, but our fans? They thinking

"Yo, I'm supporting my favorite person! I'm part of a special group now! I got access to stuff nobody else has!"

I'm gonna give y'all the direct-to-fan payment platforms that's gonna help you start receiving revenue THIS WEEKEND. Pick one or two that you feel most comfortable with.

Direct-To-Fans Platforms

Buy Me A Coffee - super simple, people love the concept
Patreon - the OG of creator support
Gumroad - great for digital products
Sellfy - clean, professional setup
OnlyFans - and yes, OnlyFans is for ALL niches, it just got a bad rap
Fan Base - direct fan support
Substack - perfect if you write content

Now let's get into the social media platforms. Some of these depend on your follower count and if your account can monetize:

YouTube - Super Chats, Super Stickers, and Channel Memberships
Twitch - Bits and Subscriptions
Instagram/Facebook - Badges
TikTok - Gifts

Warning

You gotta watch them fees! OnlyFans takes 40% ... FORTY PERCENT! YouTube channel membership? They're taking 30%, you only getting 70%. That could hit you upside the head if you're not paying attention.

Even with those fees, you STILL leaving money on the table by not setting this up!

Your followers don't need you to have a million subscribers to want to support you. They don't need you to have the perfect product ready. They just need you to give them a way to show love! And by you setting this up, you're not being greedy - you're giving them a chance to be part of your community, to be part of something special.

Sidenote let me practice what I preach.... if this newsletter has ever given you value, here is where you can support (Bonus I'm using Kit to send out my emails and it has a built in tip jar feature)

A surreal, moody portrait, wearing a minimalist black outfit. him or her (based on uploaded portrai photo) is standing in profile with her head gently tilted back and eyes closed, facing upward. The background is a deep gradient of cinematic blue, evoking mystery and serenity. A single sharp beam of warm white light cuts horizontally across him or her (based on uploaded portrait photo) face, passing directly over him or her (based on uploaded portrait photo) eyes, creating a dramatic

Craft a moody studio portrait of the uploaded person, bathed in golden-orange spotlight that creates a glowing circular halo behind them on the wall. The warm light should sculpt the face and upper body with soft, sunset-like tones, while casting a strong head shadow to the right. Style the person with long straight hair wearing blue and white track suite and a minimal chain necklace. Her eyes are closed and chin tilted slightly up.

Which one are you going to try.
