I am constantly trying to find ways to improve the community I am building by highlighting and recognizing the members and creators.

My current idea is to help sell your photos, zines, workshops, and digital artworks on my Ko-Fi website (all work will be credited to the original creator). You(the creator) can send me the works you wish to upload and be sold as a digital download. All sales will be made from my online marketplace. [ kofi.com/ixvi96 ] There is no upfront or hidden costs for donating/contributing your work to my site. Each creator will have their own section with their own original works. You, the creator, will determine the sale cost of all work they would like to sell (digital or physical).

My only charge will be 15% of each sale. You may be asking, "why I should pay you 15% if I can simply make 100%." Simple answer : 1: Time (you create, edit, and submit, I'll do the rest), 2: The site is already created and paid for, 3; An established follower base to extend and share customers. If anyone has sold works of art in galleries or exhibits, they know that the standard fee is 35% and up.

All creators and contributors will be given the sales invoice monthly. In addition, of course, for all legal purposes, contracts will be signed. This is entirely voluntary. I am simply providing opportunities for creators.
