We've added ways for you to directly support the creators you love with both one-time tips and monthly subscriptions. Starting this week, we're rolling this out gradually to ensure the best experience for everyone.
The Problem We Solved
Community is everything. In a world where algorithms control what we see and corporate platforms take massive cuts, creators need direct support from their communities. Whether you're moved by a powerful story, learned something new, or just want to show appreciation, you should be able to support creators directly and transparently.
A Mission From Day One
Since we started LavishMade, we've been working toward this moment. The ability to make a living, or at least pay a bill, through your creative network of supporters has been our core mission. This isn't a feature we added; it's the foundation we built everything on.

Soft Launch Rollout
We're taking a thoughtful approach to this launch. Starting this week, we'll be enabling creator support for a small group of creators, then gradually expanding to more creators each week. This allows us to:
- Ensure everything works smoothly
- Gather feedback from early users
- Make improvements based on real usage
- Build the feature thoughtfully with our community
Why This Matters
For Supporters:
- Show appreciation for creations that move you
- Help creators continue making what you love
- Build stronger community connections
- Support the voices that matter to you
- Choose between one-time support or ongoing monthly subscriptions
For Creators:
- Earn directly from your community
- Get meaningful feedback through messages
- Build sustainable creative careers
- Focus on creating, not monetization complexity
- Offer both immediate support and recurring revenue
The Bigger Picture
We believe creators shouldn't have to rely on ads, sponsorships, or algorithm favoritism to make a living. When communities directly support creators, we get better creations, stronger connections, and a more vibrant creative ecosystem.
This isn't just about money, it's about showing creators that their work matters. Every tip, every subscription, every message of support strengthens the community that makes LavishMade special.
How It Works
Look for the support button on posts from creators who have the feature enabled. Click it to choose what kind of support you'd like to give. Add an optional message and send your support. The creator gets notified immediately and receives your message along with the support.
Coming Soon
If you don't see the support button on a creator's post yet, don't worry... we're rolling this out gradually. Keep an eye out as we enable it for more creators each week.
Try It Out
Next time you see a post that moves you, teaches you something, or makes you think differently, look for the support button. Even a small tip or subscription sends a powerful message: "Your voice matters. Keep creating."
We're excited to see how you use creator support to strengthen our community. Every creator supported is a voice amplified.
