Here's How Patreon Works And How To Launch Your First Patreon Page

Good morning, blog readers! Sex-related content creators are also getting monthly subscribers on Patreon, and a Pokemon Go community is the top earner, making up to $500,000 a month, according to Graphetreon. In December 2017, Patreon announced that the platform's fees would be switched from the creators to the Patrons.

But the way fees are balanced will impact how people choose to donate to artists — and although Patreon is confident that this is an improvement, its creators aren't nearly as certain. Some creators appear to be gaining a pretty good income on Patreon, but don't expect it to be given when you are just starting.

Artists supported on Patreon include YouTube content creators, musicians, cartoonists, educators, scientists, comedians, dancers, and photographers. Facebook's early rollout for Patreon-like Fan Subscriptions was met with disdain because of terms in the agreement that would let Facebook claim ownership over creator's content, along with up to 30% of their pledges.

We'll examine what the service is for, what it offers you, and how to start supporting creators. And I haven't gone searching to see if anyone else has done it. In my case, if you support me for $1 per month, you keanureeves will get exclusive access to special unedited, or barely edited, sneak peeks and early drafts (or portions) of my books.

This was a risk felt sharply by the YouTube community when it began mass demonetization of videos to appease advertisers, an example that illustrates perfectly why it's incredibly risky as a creator to depend entirely upon a 3rd party platform for your income.
