Gittip - A tipping donation site by SunflowerBun

I'm taking some time to experiment with something like crowdfunding but it's all pretty new to me.
Currently testing this place called Gittip -- https://www.gittip.com/SunflowerBun/
Apparently you can only send weekly payments so far but another option for one time payments is to send through gift rocket -- http://www.giftrocket.com/send-a-gift-card to my email ShelbyShuff@aol.com
I would be so so grateful to all of you if I could even get one lil dollar I'd be ecstatic!

I really want to start taking commissions again but it puts a lot of stress on me and having some extra money to take care of myself would be so wonderful and I just.. I wouldn't be able to thank you enough.

Gittip sends directly to my bank account and has various payment method options so we can avoid using paypal and their stinky ways.

    Interesting. I'll look into these. Have you seen/considered Patreon?

    • Link

      I've considered it but the whole system kind of intimidates me a bit.

        I only suggest it because it's a bit more familiar to most furs.

          Yeah! I know but I don't know how I'd feel if I couldn't keep up with any promises I make. >x<

            That's why I do it per-item instead of per-month. That way, if I don't put anything up, I don't get paid.

              I think that's why I like the casualty of gittip since it's based on just tipping and supporting a person based on what they have done and are doing. It would be kinda just super nice and inspiring and helping me a LOT without the "don't work, don't eat" sort of mentality. I have like really bad anxiety and I just want to make sure I don't put myself in a bad way >x<

                I can understand that.

    I really like the idea of that website!
    However, I can see a lot of potential donors hesitating because it requires an account to donate. (people are lazy, and don't want to give out their information to one-use only sites)

      :x yeah... well you can just sign in with twitter easily enough idk :c doesn't patreon require an account as well for donors?

      • Link

        Oh hey! Twitter! I'm sure that would make it easier for people to donate.
        But yet there's always that one person who refuses to get a twitter. XD

          haha yeah it's alright though I mean I'm not demanding or expecting much but i'd like for people to support me and my content :X also with gift rocket you can just do one time donation things through email with a card or bank account. Paypal has me slightly nervous with chargebacks
