Step-by-step: monitor Ko-fi traffic sources with Google Analytics

Tracking sources to your Ko-fi landing page using Google Analytics is straightforward. Simply append the appropriate utm_* parameters to your link. According to the documentation here, you should always use utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign. For example, the final URL might look like this:

https://ko-fi.com/<your_name>/?utm_source=<source>&utm_medium=<medium>&utm_campaign=<campaign>

Of course, replace <your_name> with your Ko-fi handle and <source>, <medium> and <campaign> with what you find suitable. That will be the link you distribute instead of the common one.

Once you have done that, head to your Google Analytics account. In the left side menu, under 'Reports', 'Generate leads', click on 'Traffic acquisition'. In the table shown, instead of 'Session primary channel group', select 'Session source/medium'.

That would be it!
