Asking for support is not begging: it is offering people a way to take part in what you make. Be clear about what it is for and what they get.

Say what it makes possible

Finishing the album, paying the studio, printing the next series. A concrete goal makes the ask easy.

Offer something in return

Early access, behind the scenes, a creation each month for monthly supporters.

A real example

On HYK, Cross Fella earns from sales and from monthly support.

Thank publicly

With their agreement, thank supporters by name, and show what came out of it.

Next step: Open your HYK profile at app.hyk.media and connect Stripe to receive support. Then read the Community guide.
