Ko-fi.com is a multifaceted online platform designed to help creators, including illustrators, podcasters, bloggers, and a wide range of other artists and content creators, receive financial support from their fans and followers. Unlike traditional crowdfunding platforms that often focus on large, one-time funding campaigns, Ko-fi emphasizes a more straightforward and ongoing form of support. The name “Ko-fi”comes from the idea of supporters buying a creator a “coffee,”symbolizing small, manageable donations that can add up over time.
