Funding a new project? (programming.dev)

Hey all,

I'm just curious what might be a good way to fund a new project? I've seen a number of projects use stuff like LiberaPay and PayPal etc, what about something in the form of Kickstarter? Subscriptions?

This isn't something I've ever considered before so not sure what the prevailing wisdom is out there. Say I want to get funding to start a project, those that donate get a lifetime subscription, but then also have an option for others to pay a monthly subscription? Is there any method in particular I should avoid?

I tend to donate to projects that are on https://opencollective.com/

Mostly cuz in the past I opened an account with Open Collective.

Although, PayPal seems to be another popular choice.
