How to Support Online Creators Safely and Fairly
Practical tips to make sure your support reaches real creators, protects your privacy, and respects boundaries.
Use official links only
Impersonation accounts are common. Follow links from a creator's verified social profile or from a directory that lists only opt-in, verified creators.
Protect your account
Use a unique password and two-factor authentication on every platform. Never send payment outside a platform's official checkout.
Respect boundaries
Creators set their own rules. Don't screenshot, redistribute or share paid material; it costs them income and may break the law.
Set a budget
Decide what you want to spend each month before you log in. Most platforms offer spending limits in account settings.
