What is a creator tip page?

A tip page is a simple page where your fans and supporters can send you money as a thank-you for your content. Think of it as a digital tip jar — supporters visit your page, choose an amount, and pay with their card. Stripe Connect sends the money directly to your bank account. No manual withdrawal needed.

💡 Say it out loud: 'Support at zolt.me/yourname'

How to get more tips — what actually works

Ask directly — don't hint

"If this helped you, you can support my work at zolt.me/yourname." Creators who explicitly mention their tip page get 3–5x more tips than those who just add a link.

Thank supporters publicly by name

Read supporter names in your videos or streams. Thank them in your newsletter. Public appreciation encourages others. Make it feel special.

Set a monthly goal

Enable the goal bar on your Zolt page. "Help me reach $500 this month for new equipment." Specific goals with reasons convert much better than generic support requests.

Tell your story

Why do you create? What does support enable? Creators who share their story on their Zolt page consistently earn more. Write 2–3 sentences about what support means for your work.

Mention it consistently, not just once

Most supporters need to see your tip link 3–5 times before they act. Mention it in every video, every newsletter, every livestream. Consistent reminders compound over time.
