Direct income from viewers for Persian YouTubers
Ad revenue for Persian-language channels is usually low and can change overnight. Your loyal viewers, though, are ready to support you directly. Qahvejo gives you a Persian support page with one link to put under every video.
Why direct support matters
Ads depend on views, and you don't control the algorithm. Direct support depends on your relationship with your audience. A few hundred monthly members can add up to income you can count on, even when views go up and down.
What you can offer viewers
- One-off tips with a message, which you can reply to from your dashboard
- Monthly memberships with early videos, behind the scenes, members-only posts and a Telegram or Discord group
- A shop for presets, tutorials, courses, commissions or even physical products with shipping
- A support goal like "new camera" with a progress bar on your page
Where to put the link
At the top of every video description, in a pinned comment, on your channel's About page and banner. Show your page's QR code in the video itself. If you have a website or blog, add the ready-made "buy me a coffee" button or the floating widget with one line of code.
What about viewers who don't speak Persian?
Your page is bilingual. A viewer who doesn't read Persian switches to English with one click and pays just as easily.

- Payouts: automatic, daily, weekly or monthly, to your own bank account, in US dollars or your country's currency. The money goes straight to your own payment account; Qahvejo never holds it.

Common questions
Does Qahvejo replace YouTube ad revenue?
No, it sits alongside it. Any channel with a loyal audience can earn from ads, sponsors and direct viewer support at the same time.
Can I post videos for members only?
Yes. In members-only posts you can embed a YouTube or Vimeo video (an unlisted one, for example) so only members see it.
Which account is the money paid to?
Your own bank account in the country where you live, in US dollars or that country's currency, daily, weekly or monthly.
