Can I search for creators on Ko-fi?
Creators decide how and where their page is seen, with no algorithm deciding who sees their content.
It isn't possible to search for creators directly on Ko-fi; instead, creators are in control of where their page is shared. For creators wanting fans to find their page, here are some ways to make it easy.
How creators can share their Ko-fi page
Sharing a Ko-fi page helps boost visibility and encourage support! Here are a few places creators can share it.
- Pin the Ko-fi link in a post or story on X, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky, or Mastodon.
- Include the Ko-fi link in video or image captions, livestream overlays, or artwork credits.
- Make it front and center in social media bios and personal site footers.
- Some creators include their Ko-fi in their email signature. Others add a button to their website, or even create a custom QR code for easy access.

How creators can make their Ko-fi page easy to find
- Using the same handle on Ko-fi as on social platforms makes it easier for fans to find a creator's page.
- When a creator uses the same handle everywhere, fans can often reach the creator's page by adding that handle to the end of a Ko-fi URL: ko-fi.com/handle
- Supporters may enter a creator's name or username alongside "ko-fi" in a search engine, which will usually bring up the creator's page near the top of results.
Promote your Ko-fi page regularly
Creators can regularly share their Ko-fi link whenever they release new content, have a shop drop, or offer a commission slot. Don't be shy about reminding fans. For more sharing ideas, check out 50+ creative ways to share a Ko-fi page.
