Buy me a coffee is a service for online content creators that they may use to receive tips and donations to support their work. While the title is “Buy me a coffee,” subscribers are donating money to you. It is essentially adding a donate button to your website or content, but with a little more subtlety. Creators can change “coffee” to whatever they want, like soda or beer.

A lot of people look for ways to monetize their blogs. Some pick eCommerce while others include systems like Adsense and affiliate marketing. But what about a donation button? Buy Me a Coffee is one way to accept donations on your site…and it works.

Well, it works in the sense that it does exactly what the site claims. You still need to drive supporters to actually use the donation button or links.

And that’s a different tale. Today, I’m focusing more on whether Buy Me a Coffee is a viable system or not. And based on my experience so far, it is a nice option for bloggers and video creators.

Buy Me a Coffee helps creators to accept support and memberships from their fans. More than 1,50,000 video creators, podcasters, writers, and other creators use Buy Me a Coffee to monetize their audience directly.
