+# Supporting me
+Thanks for considering to support my work. It's much appreciated, and it helps me
+to spend more time writing articles, tutorials, free software and promote more
+free software.
+
+I think free software is very important to have around, and all software made
+should be released as free software. As such, I will continue to keep working
+on free software and it's promotion regardless of how much I receive in
+(financial) funding. However, more funding allows me to spend more time on
+this.
+
+## Funding platforms
+I've set up a number of accounts on donation platforms. This way, you can
+decide which platform you trust the most. The platforms I'm available on are:
+
+- [Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/tyil/donate)
+- [MakerSupport](https://www.makersupport.com/tyilanmenyn/pledge)
+- [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/tyil)
+
+If there are other platforms which you consider to be better, do let me know. I
+am always open to suggestions, and I will try to make time to review other
+platforms if possible. Such suggestions will also be incorporated in [my
+article on Free software funding][article-funding].
+
+## What's it used for?
+Your donations will go towards paying the server I use to work and test things
+on, `hyve2.tyil.net`.
+
+If funding allows, I can look into possibilities to take time off of my day
+time job in order to spend more time on free software work. It would also allow
+me take more time off in order to attend conferences or give presentations on
+my free software projects.
