Patreon Reviews & Product Details

-Flexible posting options (from podcasting to text to images, etc) -Low monthly fees/losses (I joined early at an early tier, though, before they started their current sillier payment solution) -Well-known (so users aren't scared of signing up) -Marketplace lets me also look for other creators who are doing interesting things -Secure and private messaging options to keep in touch with patrons -Integrates with a number of other software options--for example, whenever I get a new patron Patreon notifies my Bonjoro, which then lets me send them a video message as a thank-you

-Apparently if you join now, you're given payment options that make you lose more money than if you joined when I did. If I were new, that would make me consider another service, perhaps like Payhip, which I can run myself. -They got rid of the Goals tier, which I thought was helpful for motivating patrons (but that's okay)

Like everyone else who uses Patreon, I need a monthly solution that allows me to collect fees from users while providing them monthly support.

Patreon treats its content creators very well I feel and the creators get to ask for donations to help them with creating more content and maintaining their channels on Pateron. I feel like Pateron puts content creators in the drivers seat when it comes to controlling what they choose to produce compared to other platforms which are not as friendly to content creators of which I won't mention.

Nothing that I can think of at the moment. The customer gets to decide how much they are willing to donate to a particular content creator which is great and I'm glad that Pateron allows flexibility in this area.

I am just a consumer of Pateron and not a content creator.

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!

How easy they make it to get up and running. Selling your membership online used to require building funnels, websites, sales pages, etc. With Patreon, I've been able to sell my membership with such ease!

The fees are a higher than you'd expect to pay if you were using a merchant processing company, so that is something to consider.

The main problem I'm solving is being able to accept payments without having to build a complicated website.

Built in merch system is really useful for creators. It's great that you can customize your fan base's level of involvement with tiers and brand elements like color and logo and welcome notes. Very simple to use.

There could be some additional features like event creation. It's great that there is Google Analytics tracking, but there could also be more connectivity to other tools.

The major problem we are solving is paid community management. It does just that and a little more!

Very easy to use and get set up and started.

Some fees get taken out each month which are pretty steep.

I get support for the podcasts I make and get to release bonus episodes and other extras to my supporters.

The company idea as a whole isnt being done a lot elsewhere! its a great way for fans to be able to support the creators they love, and it is very customizable

I really wish the website was searchable or would recommend new artists to support, so you can be found organically. They are also changing the website TOO MUCH, especially the landing pages of the creators. patreon- PLEASE STOP DOING THIS !! it now asks for money upfront instead of letting you read the creators story first, which makes it look greedy and awful.. They just keep making changes and having issues, when it really was good before and just needed to be improved upon (like the pledges not going through and other issues that really get in the way of the entire function of the website! )

giving people who want to support artists a way to do so, and obviously making an income as an artist

As a creator you can build a connection with supporters. You can set up tiers for monthly support with incentives. It's a very social platform.

At some points there is a lack of guidelines. Almost any project is OK and if the creator don't feel like giving the incentives (promised to supporters), then it's OK too.

We use Patreon for contributing to Creators. More like a donation to innovative and creative ideas. We Don't use it as a business strategy.

Our colleagues have energized together to bring a portion of their best imaginative plans to the table. Patreon's capacity to for all intents and purposes interface our specialists with other people who are aesthetically and cooperatively disapproved has just helped our development procedure. Furthermore, when we've had any issues, the site's care staff has dependably been inconceivably useful. Straight-forward, open, and a twisted towards tolerance, their client administration has been a noteworthy reward.

We additionally use Patreon for benefactor financing and entries. Sadly, there have been a few issues with installment preparing, which has caused a couple of social speedbumps. At first, our group was additionally confounded about what substances could or couldn't enlist with the stage. The online assistance segment (beside client support) is as yet inadequate.

The stage is generally streamlined and bother free. Our group has utilized Patreon to gather benefactor reserves, sell our very own inventive substance, and interface with different clients for potential advertising and business-disapproved of activities.

Absolutely fundamental for makers hoping to bring home the bacon off of their fanbase support.

Site should be accessible so you can discover new designers to help.

Aides my fan base who needs to help figure out how to do as such, and encourages me monetarily also to make more
