The guy doing acoup.blog is doing essentially the same thing (free, well-researched historical analysis blogs), and last time I checked he was getting enough in Patreons per month to pay rent in major metropolitan areas in the US. It would be interesting to know where his supporters found him. I think his success is due to being excellent in his field, analyzing both pop-culture for historical accuracy as well as hitting the "maker" demographic with his series on how people made things, being good at showing not only why he thinks his conclusions are correct but always demonstrating how one goes about analyzing the topic, and being very consistent about publishing something every week.
- TylerE 6y agoThat seems like a super stressful way to make a living. Most of the people doing Pateron content I know seem to see any growth in income as requiring most of that money to go back into content (better cameras, editing, trips to film interesting content, whatever). That works great when the trend is upward, but what about when it's flat, or declining?
