For creators

People may already be tipping you.

SkyLike is a tip jar for open social protocols. When readers like your posts on Bluesky, Mastodon, or other supported platforms, those likes can carry a small payment — held in escrow until you connect a payout account.

Setup, end-to-end.

01

Sign in with your account

Use the same handle you already post under — Bluesky, Mastodon, or other supported platforms. We use standard OAuth — no password sharing.

02

Connect Stripe

Standard Stripe Connect onboarding. We never see or hold your bank details.

03

Likes start carrying value

Anyone who’s signed up as a supporter starts contributing on every like.

04

Get paid monthly

Earnings settle on the 1st. Payouts reach your bank within a few days. You set your own minimum payout threshold.

What this is, and isn't

What it is

  • A tip jar that follows you across open social protocols — no posts to make, no funnels to build.
  • A way to get paid for the writing, art, photography, or research you’d be sharing for free anyway.
  • Predictable: monthly settlement, transparent fees, real Stripe payouts.

What it isn't

  • A subscription platform. There are no tiers, no exclusive content, no DMs to manage.
  • A replacement income — a successful month from likes is groceries, not rent.
  • Public. Your earnings, supporters, and likes carrying value are private to you.
