You do not need a million followers, a store or a brand deal to get paid for what you post. You need three things: a page your followers can reach in one tap, a simple way for them to say thanks with money, and a reason to do it today. This is the playbook we would follow if we were starting from zero.
Step 1: Decide what people already thank you for
Read your last fifty comments and DMs. Somewhere in there people are already telling you what your work is worth to them: "this recipe saved dinner", "your tutorial finally made it click", "this song got me through the week". That sentence is your business model. Write it down in your own words, because you will reuse it in your bio, your captions and your gift descriptions.
- Educators and explainers get thanked for time saved.
- Artists and musicians get thanked for how the work made someone feel.
- Local pros — barbers, stylists, trainers, DJs — get thanked for a great hour in person.
- Entertainers and streamers get thanked for company.
Step 2: Fix the one link you control
Every platform gives you one place for a link, and most creators waste it on a single destination. A link-in-bio page turns that slot into a front door: your latest video, your booking link, your socials, and a way to send you a gift, all one tap from your profile.
On gomy•bio you can type the name you want on the home page and the AI wizard drafts the page from a few answers, or build it block by block. Keep it short: five to seven things, most important first. Our list of link-in-bio mistakes covers what to cut.
Step 3: Make your page giftable
This is the part most link-in-bio pages skip. Add a Gift Shop block and choose up to three gifts — a coffee, a heart, a rocket, a crown — with prices you set. A follower taps one, pays by card without making an account, and never leaves your page.
Three price points work better than one. A small one for an easy yes, a middle one for regulars, and a generous one for the few who want to do more. Our gift ideas guide has examples for every kind of creator, and the setup guide walks through every click.
Step 4: Give something back
A gift feels better when it thanks the sender back. Attach a reward to any gift — a personal note, a file, a PDF or a private link — and it unlocks the moment the payment clears. A ceramicist unlocks her glaze recipe. A trainer unlocks a 4-week plan. A musician unlocks the demo version. It turns "support me" into a fair exchange, and that is easier for everyone to say yes to.
Step 5: Ask in the places people already are
Most creators mention their page once and wonder why nothing happens. People need to be told, briefly and often, and at the moment they are feeling thankful:
- A one-line mention at the end of your most useful posts: "If this saved you an evening, you can send me a coffee — link in bio."
- A Stories link sticker on the day you post something big.
- A pinned comment on your best-performing video.
- A QR code wherever you meet people in person — see QR codes for local talent.
The gifting calendar lists the moments that work best: launches, milestones, birthdays and live streams.
Step 6: Get paid, and know the numbers
Here is how the money works on gomy•bio, with nothing left out:
- We keep 20% of each gift. Card processing comes out of our share, not yours, so you receive the other 80%.
- With Stripe connected, each gift settles in your own Stripe account and pays out to your bank on Stripe's schedule. We never hold it.
- Without Stripe, your share is credited to your wallet, and you withdraw it to PayPal once it reaches the minimum shown on the Wallet page.
- The free plan includes 3 gifts. Paid plans start at $2.99 a month and allow up to 20.
Step 7: Watch what works, then do more of it
Your dashboard shows visits and clicks for every block on your page. After two weeks, look at three numbers: how many people reached your page, how many tapped the Gift Shop block, and how many sent something. If plenty reach the page but few tap the gifts, move the block higher or rewrite the gift descriptions. If plenty tap but few pay, look at your prices. Growing your presence covers how to raise the first number.
Frequently asked questions
How many followers do I need before I can get paid?
None. Gifts work from your first follower, because the people most likely to send one are the ones who already know you. A small, warm audience often gives more per person than a large, distant one.
Is gomy•bio free to use?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 bio pages, 3 gifts, 5 QR codes and 10 short links, with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $2.99 a month.
How much does gomy•bio take from each gift?
20% of each gift, with card processing included in that share. You receive the remaining 80%.
Do my supporters need an account to send a gift?
No. They tap a gift, pay by card and get their reward straight away. A receipt arrives by email.
