Your cover ideas set the direction on Krinio
Taking cover song requests online works best when fans can choose among future YouTube covers you genuinely want to make. On Krinio, you publish those ideas in text form and supporters help show which song should move toward production first.
This is especially useful for unusual interpretations that need explanation. A calm acoustic guitar cover of Doomed by Bring Me The Horizon is easy to understand once you describe the contrast with the original rock and metal production. Your audience sees the creative direction before deciding whether to support it.
You choose the covers. Your audience helps show which one has enough support to justify the production time.
Before publishing
Connect Stripe to receive Support
Krinio requires a fully activated Stripe connected account before an idea can be published. Stripe handles the payment and pays the creator through the connected account.

From cover idea to a shareable Support page
Each step is paired with the Krinio screen you use for it.
- 01
Complete your profile and connect Stripe
Create your account, add your creator details, connect your channel and finish Stripe onboarding. Stripe must be ready to accept payments before you publish an idea.
- 02
Write and publish the cover idea
Name the song, artist and your interpretation. For a cover song on YouTube, select Video as the content format and Music as the niche. Add a rough production goal, choose the active window and publish the idea.
The creator describes the song and the reinterpretation, adds a rough goal, and selects how long the idea should remain active. - 03
Share the individual idea page
Use the idea link when you are talking about one song. Fans see the concept, time remaining, goal and current Support before choosing an amount from $5.
A single public link gives fans the concept, time remaining, Support total, goal and a clear way to contribute through Stripe. - 04
Share your profile for a choice
Use your profile link when fans should compare several future covers. Every idea keeps its own Support total and active window.
The profile link lets the audience compare several songs without the creator asking everyone to fund the same cover.
What the number, timer and goal actually mean
These settings help the audience understand the idea. None of them turns voluntary Support into an order for a finished cover.
- Minimum Support
- $5
- A fan can choose $5 or a higher amount in the Stripe payment flow.
- Example windows
- 7, 14 or 30 days
- Free ideas stay active for 14 days. Creator Plus and Creator Pro can choose 7, 14 or 30 days.
- Funding goal
- A reference point
- It shows a rough production target. Reaching it creates no delivery obligation, and missing it keeps the Support already given.
The goal guides the audience. You keep the final call.
Clear idea text helps fans understand exactly what their Support does and does not mean.
- Support is voluntaryA supporter is not buying the song, commissioning a performance or reserving delivery.
- The goal is approximateYou can make the video before the goal, after the goal or decide not to make it.
- The timer closes SupportThe active period limits how long fans can add Support. Your release date stays your own.
- The singer keeps the final choiceSupporters do not own the arrangement, vocal choices, video concept or release decision.
