Support in FME: Benefit for Expertise

Support in FME is a feature that allows users to fund expertise, time, or valuable content. It enables users to support experts, mentors, and content creators by contributing funds for their insights, knowledge sharing, and time spent. Whether it's a detailed guide, a consulting session, or an innovative project, supporters can show appreciation through financial contributions.

Every post and comment section on FME includes a "Keep Support" tag, making it easy for users to support valuable content and expertise directly.

How "Support" Works

1. Creating a Support Page: Users can set up a support page where others can contribute funds.
2. Supporting a Creator: If a user finds value in a post, comment, or expertise shared, they can support the creator through the "Keep Support" feature.
3. Receiving Funds: The creator receives support funds minus a commission fee based on calculated on the total support amount / per support page (80% to creator, 20% platform fees.).

• Content Creators: Monetize valuable content like guides, tutorials, or research.
• Consultants & Coaches: Get support for time spent helping others.
• Project Creators: Raise funds for projects, innovations, or ideas.

Example of "Support" in Action
