This has a few benefits: You don\u2019t need to handle payments yourself, you don\u2019t need to set up a website if you don\u2019t want to, and it gives you an easy external link to spread awareness. Plus, people on the platform itself can browse through trending fundraisers, which is more exposure for you.<\/p>\n<p>Services like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/\">GoFundMe<\/a> and Kickstarter work best if you have a specific goal in mind that you want to get crowdfunded. GoFundMe can be used for anything, although it has a reputation for being used for medical bills and other serious emergencies. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/\">Kickstarter<\/a> is <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly used for creative projects and inventions that need early funding. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/\">IndieGoGo<\/a> is another alternative.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_a_Monthly_Subscription_Use_Patreon\"><\/span>For a Monthly Subscription: Use Patreon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11695 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/05\/c73a9c52.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Patreon logo\" width=\"657\" height=\"314\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Sub<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ion models are the secret to long-term, sustainable income for many companies, and the same applies to donations. Getting someone to donate $1 a month, every month is a lot better than getting them to donate $10 once and forget about it. Once they\u2019re subscribed, many people will stay subscribed.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/\">Patreon<\/a>\u00a0is a subscription-based crowdfunding platform. It\u2019s commonly used by <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>rs, artists, and other creators, but there\u2019s no limit to what you can use it for. For example, it\u2019s often used for open-source software products to support the developers. It has made it possible for many developers to quit their jobs to work on their projects full time without having to worry about severely fluctuating income.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be used to give access to exclusive downloads. This could be used to sell your product on a subscription model, but in the case of software products, it\u2019s also used to give early beta access to supporters before the general public. For some, it\u2019s used to give access to support communities on Discord as well.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accepting_Direct_Donations_with_PayPal\"><\/span>Accepting Direct Donations with PayPal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11696 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudsavvyit.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ff6f2eab-1.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"PayPal logo\" width=\"700\" height=\"271\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d rather just have a \u201cDonate\u201d button on your website, PayPal makes it really easy.
