So, I have set up a Patron and Ko-fi; they can be found on my profile page.
And I have questions.

1. How do I use Patreon as a tipjar? Do the patrons only tip once a month when it comes to tipjars?
2. Currently, I am posting my artwoks there for free. Should I include artworks of challenges like Inktober here?

Additional question. Is it okay if I post my old art there as well?

Bump.

Patreon isn't a tip jar, it's a monthly subscription site. It takes your patrons' money once per month.
If you're looking for an actual tip jar, that'd be ko-fi.

If you're only posting things for free, nobody will pay. What are you selling? You need something to sell, whether that's paywalled art, patron-only raffles, patrons getting free or discounted commissions from you, etc.

You can put whatever you want on your own patreon lmao. The question is whether people will pay for it.

Figures. I already have a Ko-fi, and from what you're saying, this could be applicable to Ko-fi too, albeit Ko-fi doens't allow NSFW art.

Most's nsfw artists don't post anything on Ko-Fi. They simply link it on their other socials. You don't necessarily need to post anything to it to use it as a simple tip jar.

This, accept tips through it, post the stuff elsewhere. It'd probably be more efficient if you get a following to just buy a vps and use a template to make your own gallery website and add kofi integration since so many places are so unaccepting of nsfw art, especially of the furry variety.
