How to Use Ko-fi as a Musician | Ko-fi vs Patreon | Shop, Memberships & Commissions

Hello fellow musicians and future Ko-fi creators! ☕ I've been on Ko-fi for 3 years now and have noticed that there just aren't very many of us on this platform, which is unfortunate because it has so many ways to connect with supporters and get your music out there. I've put together this video to hopefully provide some inspiration and examples on ways you could be using Ko-fi's features, and how it compares to Patreon. Please post any questions you have in the comments below, and I hope you find this video helpful!

Thank you for your support

[@JustNoble]

Thank you for featuring me! I also learned a lot myself with this video and I got some pretty cool ideas from other fellow artists. Let's hope to see more musicians joining Ko-fi 💖

[@thejollyjawbreaker]

It's Noble!!!!! 💜💜💜

[@vanessamcgowan]

So useful, thank you so much for going into such great detail!

[@fw4302]

Brand new to all of this, Pepper! You're amazing!

[@thejollyjawbreaker]

Christina this is an EXCELLENT video!!! Love that you are sharing these tips from a Musician's perspective! I got one of my music buddies Armoured Rabbit to join Ko-fi and was trying to find as many musician pages as reference for him to look at. This video is such an awesome resource now too! Thank you! 💜💜💜

[@kristinhamilton927]

This is great, Christina! Thank you for including me!

[@MadWhiskeyGrin]

This is really helpful! Thank you!

[@MusespeakStudio]

Wonderful video and thank you so much for featuring me! I plan on reviewing and tweaking my page this month, so this gives me some great ideas. Thank you!

[@CoyoteHaHaHa]

It's always a treat when you upload, Pepper!

[@isaiahtorres91]

As a musician, producer, sound engineer, and gardener...I've been wondering how to share what I know in this capacity. I'm so glad I stumbled on this video! Thank you!!!

[@ChristinaPepper]

That's awesome and I'm so glad it was helpful! Ko-fi is really versatile in that way, so you could include multiple interests on one page (or create two since it's free to sign up!).

[@fromtheendlessvoid]

I am finally putting more effort into Ko-fi as a musician. Your video definitely helped :)

I had never heard of Ko-fi before, but it seems like an interesting platform for sure! Some part of me is considering opening a Ko-fi page eventually, but I also feel like I don’t have enough to offer besides perhaps music theory/ sheets of my compositions (Which you can find for free on my MuseScore anyway…) my schedule is very tight and I don’t have a lot of spare time, which is why I don’t think I’d be able to really keep up with commissions. Perhaps, once I have compiled a sheet music folio I might consider publishing that.

[@pjotrkolster]

@@ChristinaPepper those are some great tips! Thanks a lot. :) Who knows… one of these days I’ll start. :P

[@TerryIlousTV]

Hi Christina , great video.Can KoFi be inked to FB or other social media platform so my followers can be aware of KoFI ? Is it possible to upload a KoFi donation bottom next to a music video I would upload on FB?

[@MadWhiskeyGrin]

Is that a baby Yoda in a fez?

[@billsbluesconnection7743]

Hi Christina. I'm having trouble loading and playing music videos from my you tube channel. Seems they are restricted some how and have to play via you tube only. Seems pointless to start a page that re-directs back to source. Is there a fix for this if so pls let em know. Many Thx

[@ChristinaPepper]

Hi! Do you mean your KZbin videos aren't playing on Ko-fi when you link to them? (If the videos are listed as 'private' they won't show up, maybe that's it?) If you send me your Ko-fi link I'd be happy to take a look!
