Make sure your followers know you’re on Ko-fi

  • Link to Ko-fi in your bio: Start by adding your Ko-fi link to your Tumblr bio. It’s a simple, effective way to direct your followers to where they can support you.
  • Include Ko-fi links in your posts: Whether you’re sharing artwork, stories, or personal posts, include a call-to-action with your Ko-fi link. A gentle reminder at the end of your posts can encourage your followers to show their support.
  • Customize your theme to include Ko-fi: Many Tumblr themes allow you to add custom links or buttons. Add a Ko-fi button or link prominently on your page to catch the eye of your visitors. Grab a button from here or free gifs from here.

 

Add Ko-fi content

  • Pin a Ko-fi post: Pin a post about your Ko-fi page at the top of your blog. This could be an introduction to your Ko-fi or what you offer in return for support.
  • Create content about your Ko-fi rewards: Share posts about what supporters can expect -exclusive content, behind-the-scenes looks, or any perks you offer on Ko-fi.
  • Use tags: When posting about your Ko-fi content, use relevant tags to reach a broader audience interested in supporting creators like you.

 

Offer Tumblr-exclusive perks for Ko-fi supporters

  • Build a membership: Invite your biggest fans on Tumblr to become members of your Ko-fi Membership Tiers. Reward them with exclusive content, behind-the-scenes access, and input on your work.
  • Custom requests: Offer to create custom content (like writing prompts, art commissions, etc.) for Ko-fi supporters, and share examples on your Tumblr. Open Ko-fi Commissions.
  • Exclusive content: Tease content that’s only available to your Ko-fi supporters, and share snippets or previews on Tumblr.

 

Engage with your Tumblr audience

  • Answer asks about Ko-fi: If followers send you questions (asks) about how they can support you, use these as opportunities to share your Ko-fi link and explain how their support helps.
  • Share thank-yous: Write and post thank-you messages to the people who have supported you on Ko-fi to build trust and encourage more support.
  • Share your Ko-fi achievements: Regularly update your Tumblr followers on your Ko-fi goals, milestones reached, and how their support makes a difference.
