Together we convert your audience into your own community, which supports you to finance your creations sustainably. That means less dependence on editors, advertisers and social networks for you.
We started Backme because an increasing group of content creators, including investigative journalists, documentary makers and photographers, have seen their income fall sharply in recent years. Partly because the largest media platforms have had to cut back due to declining advertising revenues and declining memberships.
Backme offers inclusivity to participate in a secure environment that does not rely on advertisers. Most platforms are dominated by advertising gains that go hand in hand with violations of fundamental rights for privacy and freedom of expression. Backme creates a safe space where people own their data and where value can be created in both social added value and economic returns. It is essential for our team members, content creators and backers that this takes place within a protected and respectful environment.
Easy access to our revenue models. Facilitating the breaking of filter bubbles by connecting the different communities and facilitating healthy discourse and discussion. We are proud that our users also experience this.
To create, share and build their own community. Outside of the existing socials and for the first time on their own terms. This way both content creators and us are building towards a future that is less dependent on tech-giants, advertising and paywalls. We’re a company but profit has and will never be our primary goal. Our goals is to become self-sufficient and the platform for independent content creators that want to contribute to a better and privacy friendly world. With your support we might be able to do it. Join the change!
