Tips: small revenue, big signal
Three to eight percent of revenue, and above all, information nothing else gives you.
Tips will never support anyone on their own. Their value lies elsewhere: they point precisely to which post touched someone, down to the cent.
A creator who gets three tips on the same post has just learned something their read stats would never tell them.
Where to place it
- At the end of a post, never at the top.
- Without an aggressive suggested amount — three modest amounts are enough.
- With an optional message: it's the message that has value, not the amount.
