In my case, I wrote this like below: 

Hi, I’m Anna – an artist, educator, and storyteller.
I create art classes for children, publish picture books, and share creative inspiration through my blog annakoh.com.
If my work has inspired or helped you, you can support me with a small coffee. Every contribution helps me keep creating, teaching, and making art more accessible to everyone.
Thank you for being part of my journey!

2. Set up tiered memberships (e.g., $3/month for early access, $10/month for premium content).
