Patreon is an awesome way to connect with your customers and make them feel like they're part of a special community. We've done so many great things through Patreon - book clubs, special Zoom events, discount codes. With Patreon, it's easy to really foster a great connection!!
I don't love the comment system on Patreon - I feel like I miss things sometimes. I'm not sure how to make that better though - it's really like posting on a blog post now, as opposed to something more social-media-like?
As said above, Patreon offers a way to connect with customers that's different from other platforms. People pay to access special content, and having that monthly income has helped us beyond our wildest dreams!
I like how easy Patreon is to use between a consumer and seller. I can buy access to media from content creators and sell my art to a large audience.
For Patreon to be sustainable, I have to have a sizable audience first. Instead of people being able to find a type of product and buying what they like, it's more about liking a certain creator. So, to be useful, you must have a certain audience first.
Income has risen as i've been able to commodify my art and content into something with monetary value.
The advantages of Patreon are it's well-known, and I can upload text or images in seconds. I'm blessed with some Patrons. What competitors>. How thin can I, a multimedia artist and author, spread myself? I run my whole enterprise.
One of my Patrons unsubscribed because she's disgusted with all those goddam fees, and she'd rather I, the artist, get all of the money I make. I wish Patreon would charge less fees. Another friend won't use Patreon for god knows why reasons.
Honestly, I don't know what a "CMS tool" is. Patreon is helping me solve the problem of "how do I get paid for my writing without sending out a jillion query letters and writing samples to X number of paid publishing markets? Writing takes research. It's solving somwhat the problem of "making more money".
I like that this is platform allows for the independent service contributors to make money in exchange for exclusive content.
There could be more options to describe the content provided.
I use Patreon through the YouTube platform for exclusive membership content curation and music files. I've enhanced my knowledge and video production.
Patreon has been at the forefront of this type of monetization for content creators. They are a solution oriented and innovation focused team, continuously making tweaks and improvements to the platform. It is easy to setup and manage, and there are lots of great options for perks to patrons.
I've been using Patreon for years and found it hard to convert my fans to become patrons, and even harder to maintain the perks I offered. I didn't feel like I was adding my value because my patrons weren't engaging in ways I found meaningful, so I became inactive and now just use it as a donation platform for fans that want to support me without on-going perks
Monetizing my online content, such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and newsletter.
The key for Patreon is to assemble your gathering of people, at that point allow them to connect with you. Doing it the other route around is somewhat silly.
The expenses are excessively over the top, benefactors who contribute $1 will have the vast majority of that support vanish into charges. Makers won't gain much on little installments.
Time spent tweaking my blog to make something comparative would now be able to be spent recorded as a hard copy
The key to Patreon is to organize your crowd gatherings and let them contact you. It’s a bit silly to do other routes.
This cost exceeds the maximum, and donors who donate $1 will lose most of their support. Producers do not get much benefit in installment payments.
The time spent comparing my blogs for comparison can now be used as a hard copy record.
