Black Ko-Fi
I like it hot and steamy in the morning
I’m a father of 5, I’m purely talking about coffee when I say hot and steamy in the morning.
On a funny side note, my 3-year old boy just decided that his new fresh morning routine starts at 4:50 am. I’m thrilled as you can imagine because I have to get up with him to keep him from waking up everybody else.
But I digress. I’m a huge black coffee lover. Today, let me share my Ko-Fi page as Kristina God recently asked about it.
Coffee shop
In the past, I actually used a service called “Buy Me a Coffee“ which was a great alternative to Patreon and Ko-Fi… until they dropped support for PayPal payments.
Now, I’m using Ko-Fi and it’s great for a few reasons:
No fees (on one-off donations). Basically, every other service takes a cut of your donations. Like 5–10%. Ko-Fi does not.
PayPal is integrated because Ko-Fi is actually a service by PayPal.
It’s easy to use, nicely designed and has a lot of features for free.
There is a premium version available if you’re interested. I don’t use that.
Medium’s coffee corner
Ko-Fi is widely used among Medium writers too if you didn’t know.
I bought a coffee for Anthony Lawrence (Pcunix) a while back
and our new Medium member Dawn :) even created a dedicated publication for Ko-Fi lovers. Brilliant idea, Dawn!
I‘ve said it multiple times in the past: I wish Medium had a tipping feature right integrated into the post and profile sections, much like Vocal Media does. Until this happens, Ko-Fi is a fine alternative for us writers to connect and enjoy a pot of our favorite black gold.
How do you like your coffee?
Black Ko-Fi anyone? Or do you prefer a coconut latte like Kristina God?
Check out all the Ko-Fi pages I mentioned above. Let’s support each other with a hot and steamy cup of coffee.
