How to share your BMM link without feeling awkward

You’ve created your Buy Me a Malt page. Then you go to share it and pause. What do you say? Will people think you’re asking too much?

It can feel unfamiliar to invite appreciation for your work. Start with something simple: tell people what you’ve made, and give anyone who wants to say thank you a way to do it. You don’t need a long pitch.

Connect the invitation to your work

A little context makes your link feel at home. Put it alongside the tutorial, project, or resource someone has just enjoyed. Be specific about what you’re inviting them to appreciate.

“If this guide helped you get your first website online, you can buy me a malt here: [your link]. Thanks for reading!”

Choose a place that feels natural

Your bio is a good place for an ongoing invitation. Keep it short enough that people can understand it at a glance:

“I share practical design tips. Enjoy my work? Buy me a malt: [your link].”

At the end of a tutorial or newsletter, you can tie the invitation directly to what someone has just read:

“Hope this saved you some time. If you’d like to say thanks with a treat, here’s my BMM page: [your link].”

When introducing your page in a social post, say what it’s for in your own voice:

“I’ve made a Buy Me a Malt page! If my posts have helped you and you’d like to send a little appreciation, you can find it here: [your link]. Happy to have you following along.”

In a personal conversation, share it when someone asks how they can support you. A direct reply can be enough:

“Thank you for asking! You can buy me a malt here: [your link]. I appreciate the thought.”

Keep it optional, and sound like yourself

Use these examples as starting points. Replace [your link] with your page URL and change the words to sound like you. “If you’d like to” gives people room to choose. You don’t need to apologise for sharing your page or explain your finances to justify it.

Give the invitation some space. A link in your bio can stay there, and a new piece of work can be a natural moment to mention it again. Let people decide whether and when to give, without following up individually to ask why they haven’t.

Appreciate the response in all its forms

Someone might send a malt. Someone else might share your work, leave a kind comment, or tell a friend about you. Thank them for it. Your community’s appreciation can take more than one form.

Start with one sentence in one place you already share your work. You’re making it easier for people who want to say thank you.
