I Just Realized The Hidden Message Behind ‘Buy Me a Coffee’
Love for Businesses that go Deeper than Surface-Level Branding
There are these little moments in time when you realize something has a much deeper meaning than you thought at first.
I had that little moment reading a lovely article, “Buy Me a Coffee — My New Income Stream?”
Like many others, I wanted to support my writing career in as many ways as possible. Buy Me a Coffee, the internet’s tip jar, was the option I trusted most to funnel my donations (and I love their aesthetic).
But days after setting up, I had already completely forgotten about my Buy Me a Coffee page.
No one had ever bought me a coffee. :(
Finding this article on my home page intrigued me; I was curious how a fellow writer was doing with their own coffee supply. Unbeknownst to me, this was the article that gave me my epiphany!
Just like how coffee keeps you going throughout the day, a little donation will keep you going throughout your career.
