Thanks for that. Trying to see which is better to start with and i think i have a good idea now. And thanks for not filling the dialogue with fluff and sentence fillers. I hate when people ramble. Good work!
Seriously considered both of these but decided to stick with UA-cam. I don’t like the blog format and my members want to see what classes look like before deciding to join. Moving members to another site seems very difficult and so decided to stay where my viewers actually found me. YT makes it pretty easy - not perfect (no Join button if you’re on the app, but you have a link you can use). I don’t really mind sharing revenue with YT. I wouldn’t have a chance to create memberships without it. Seems fair to me.
Yeah, I did another video comparing Patreon and YT memberships. I think it makes sense to do YT memberships if most of your audience is on UA-cam! Especially if you livestream
Thanks for an informative, concise explanation! I don't see a link for either one of these anywhere. How do fans buy you a cup of coffee or join your patreon?
Thanks for that video. I used Patreon for a while now, but sure I will try out the coffee thing also :D By the way you have a very calm voice. I liked that. Greetings from Germany.
Nice video Kevin, good comparison between both platforms. I’m a musician and am trying both. BMC is growing fast. I’ll check back after a few months and share my experiences. Thanks … Zippy
I'm on Patreon and offer crew quarters on board my massive Starship Enterprise model for 5 dollars per month. It works well and I'm happy with the platform. I tried BMAC and it didn't feel right. I like Patreon as it feels more pro, with BMAC I felt a bit like a busker in a subway asking for food (or coffee).
Hey, thanks for the explanation. I was wandering if you can answer this...when you receive a payment to your PayPal how does it show? Like it comes from Buy me a coffee or like it comes from an individual? (sorry for my English)
Created a Buy me a coffee account but cant seem to get it active, did everything they said and even msged them, the support so far isn't great and I haven't even really started yet.
I always wondered what people meant when they said "Buy me a coffee" lol! Plus the idea of selling a digital print is pretty cool. Thanks for the info! Great video:)
I can attach PayPal on buymeacoffee it keeps loading and don’t attach is it for specific countries? I’m in Egypt I’m about to try patreon does ppl have to have an account on both to support? I think I’m buy me coffee you don’t have to
That's one good thing about buy me a coffee: people don't need an account. I think they do on Patreon. I'm not sure about the specific countries question.
I had to delete my Buy Me Coffee.. after setting up in my Android .. while setting up I saw option for for adding information where,.. when people donate after logging into my profile I could not edit any part of information. No dashboard .. did I do something wrong when setting up?
For someone with low vision... Does "buy me a coffee" have an app and everything can totally be done on the app? Patreon just deleted my account claiming that I told them to. They were quite surprised when I gave them screenshots verifying that I never told them this. Their only cancellation to me is for me to file a complaint. To which that doesn't do me any good anyway because they can't reinstate the site. So I'm not too fond of Patreon. Also some things are not on the app in regards to Patreon. Is this the same as "buy me a coffee"? Thanks for your help in this!
So if I buy you a coffee, do I have to buy a half cup of coffee for my government too? Also will you get all of the coffee I donated or will your government take a few sips from it first too?
I was setting up my account Buy me a coffe, almost done and kept getting access denied messages. I can't open in on any of my phones... Don't understand at allll. Any help here pls?
Cool! Is there a way to implement this donate idea for several members ona multi-member website? So, each member has a donate me button on their profile page?
Hmm. Can you explain a little more? Each person can create their own buy me a coffee account and have a button on their page that links to their account where people can donate. Is that what you mean?
Great video Kevin, would you say it's better to keep ads off when you start making UA-cam videos or leave them on? I was thinking of creating a Kofi or buy me a coffee page and turning the ads off until I reach 1000 views (which I think is when you can make something?)
Well, you can't make money with UA-cam ads until you hit 1k subscribers and 4k hours of watch time in the past 365 days. I think doing a buy me a coffee is a good idea if you're just getting started with making content & want a way for people to support you.
@@KevinCrowe dude you're awesome, can't believe you responded to all my questions, I really appreciate it and I wish you continued success! I'm subbing :D Your content is great anyway but I find it great when content creators actually engage with the comment section :)
Buy me a coffee is crap now if your small they stopped using PayPal if you don't have enough money they Payoneer won't it out to you . No good if your not in the US all your money is gone by the time you a get small amount send to you with all the fee form being handled 3 times to get to your account so you can use it
How to upload a video on patreon without using UA-cam or Vimeo, I want to know what sites can I put my videos on it and put the link on patreon after that.
I’m pretty sure you have to use UA-cam or Vimeo. UA-cam is free, though. You can just leave the video unlisted. It won’t show up on UA-cam, but anyone with the link can watch.
I think it's a cool feature! It's a good way for someone to support a creator with a one-time payment, especially if that person really only follows the creator on UA-cam. It's a good super chat alternative for people who don't livestream.
hello, thank you for this video but I personally have a bad experience with ''buy me a coffee'' ... I opened my page but it has been under review for days now; I stopped counting ... when they said it was only supposed to last 24 hours ... however I opened a patreon account, they validated my patreon page in less than 24 hours ... in my opinion, patreon is the most serious platform... but, good video anyway 👍
@@KevinCrowe no, I contacted them twice, the first time they answered me and said it will be done within 24 hours ... I waited for days afterwards, then I contacted them again to ask them if everything was fine but they never answered me.
I thought use BMAC, but Ko-fi made some improvements to free accounts, so I chose that plaform, and also because it is from UK and I am from Spain, so it fits better for me. But for Non-European countries, I think BMAC is a great option.
Really good video Kevin. You should have more subscribers with this type of content you offer. Well done on this video, helped me understand the differences.
@@KevinCrowe I think you would do very well on youtube with consistent videos. You have a great way of presenting the info. I'm a teacher, so I know what I say.😂 God bless you and your family.

Buy me a coffee also started offering membership levels, like tiers! Great video 😊
Thanks!!
"Let the people decide what they want to do" Can't go wrong with that!
Thanks for that. Trying to see which is better to start with and i think i have a good idea now. And thanks for not filling the dialogue with fluff and sentence fillers. I hate when people ramble. Good work!
I dropped all support venues except for Patreon and direct PayPal donations. I also migrated my Blog to Patreon and provide access as a perk.
Wow! Thank you so much for making this video. I am currently doing my own research on this topic!
Keep up the great work
Hope you are well!
:)
Thank you!!
Great! Could you please share with us any insight??
I’ve never heard of buy me a coffee but I’m going to check it out, thanks for this!
You’re welcome! It’s easy for creators and the people who want to support!

Nice, honest, laid-back review. Thumbs up.
Thanks!!
That is great to know about digital downloads on Buy me a coffee!!!
buy me a coffee feels more like a social media to me compared to patreon.
Yeah, I could see that. It doesn’t feel as much like a community as patreon.
Thanks for an informative, concise explanation! I don't see a link for either one of these anywhere. How do fans buy you a cup of coffee or join your patreon?
Thank you! My BMAC is www.buymeacoffee.com/kevincrowe
@@KevinCrowe where does that show up on your channel, or anyone’s channel for that matter.

Looking forward to your update!
Any update?
I will do both. Thx for good info.

Hi, thanks for sharing, where do you let the people decide.
Very helpful, thanks 😉

I like Patreon as it feels more pro, with BMAC I felt a bit like a busker in a subway asking for food (or coffee).
Yeah, I think BMAC is good for someone who is just creating content as a hobby and not really expecting much out of it. It’s more like a tip jar.
Hey, thanks for the explanation. I was wandering if you can answer this...when you receive a payment to your PayPal how does it show? Like it comes from Buy me a coffee or like it comes from an individual? (sorry for my English)
It shows that it comes from the person :)

Man, that sucks. Hope they got back with you. I didn’t have any issues getting mine set up.

I had to delete my Buy Me Coffee.. after setting up in my Android .. while setting up I saw option for for adding information where,..
when people donate after logging into my profile I could not edit any part of information. No dashboard .. did I do something wrong when setting up?
Hmm. I’m not familiar with that. Did you reach out to their customer service?
for the payout, which would you say is best for a UK London user? using 'standard payout' Payoneer or 'the instant payout' Stripe??
Hmm. I’ve actually not done any research on payouts for other countries. Definitely more reliable sources out there than me for that one! 😆
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much. This a very helpful information!

You know Uncle Sam has to take a sip first!

@@Mahmoud-db8hq hmm. I’m not sure then

Buy me a coffee website sent me ad email that I've received $5, but when I log in, there is nothing there, plus my link is changed. Was it hacked ?
Hmm. I’m not sure. The money usually goes right into PayPal, from my experience.
Had to rewind to 1:57 got lost in the coffee and stopped listening 🤣
😆
Thanks for the information, but I don't see where your buymeacoffee button is on your channel. Can you Not use the button on youtube?
At the moment, you just have to put a link to it in the description of your videos.
Ho thanks for this vidéo i have a question : when they offer a Coffee did they Access your name or adress on their bank Statement?
If the person pays by PayPal or credit card, it shows the name associated with that account. Hope that helps.

@@KevinCrowe ok. now im stuck with the dilemma on using paypal or stripe
@@voicesondemand316 just a preference thing, I guess. I went with PayPal, since I was already set up with them.

Thank you!
I think if you don't want to pay monthly, just unsubscribe from patreon after donation.
nice and informative
Thank you!! I think they’re both good options; it really just depends on what best serves you and your audience!
I thought use BMAC, but Ko-fi made some improvements to free accounts, so I chose that plaform, and also because it is from UK and I am from Spain, so it fits better for me. But for Non-European countries, I think BMAC is a great option.
