I'm not sure how patreon is supposed to work; i signed up a long time ago, and I haven't seen a red cent from them. In the meantime I've gotten hundreds of dollars from Amazon and add AdWords.
- kinkrtyavimoodh 9y agoYou are not being sarcastic right? I am finding it hard to be charitable here. Patreon is just a place for your fans to support your work in a structured manner (rather than a free-form donate button). If you are a content creator, it is up to you to market your patreon account and request your fans to support you there. Did you do that?
- egypturnash 9y agoHere's what worked for me. 1. Make a thing and post it online for free with some degree of regularity. 2. Every post had a small link: "Pssst! Wanna help crowdfund a pagerate for me? Support my comics on Patreon." 3. Every time I made a thing, I'd post it to Patreon; at the end of the month, my backers would get charged based on how many things I made. 4. Over the course of a year, my Patreon went from "paying for my drink at the weekly cartoonist meetup sometimes" to "paying most of my rent on a productive month". And I am doing this by drawing a complicated graphic novel about a lesbian robot with Philip K Dick problems. I make far more from Patreon than I ever did from ads, and I'm delighted to have been able to turn them off for good.
- megaman22 9y agoYeah, good luck with that. I've never made a dollar with patreon, it's been a huge waste of time.
