You may have noticed that at the bottom of most stories, there is an option to directly tip me for it. This is exactly what it looks like! For your support, you’ll receive a word document and PDF versions of the story for you to download. There’s no added content or anything, it’s just way to help me out directly.
I’ve set a minimum of $1 for the tipping. Since I am using GumRoad for all of my purchases, they take $0.25 + 5% of each transaction. As a result, $1 is pretty much as low as it gets without that fee taking a huge portion.
Please note: there is no advantage to tipping a story other than receiving a document you could easily make yourself. It’s entirely a 100% optional way to show your love for a story!
