Patreon powers membership businesses for creators.
Membership allows like you to have a direct relationship with your biggest fans, get recurring revenue for your work, and create on your own terms.
A Meaningful Revenue Stream
Fans pay you a subscription amount of their choice in exchange for exclusive experiences & behind-the-scenes content.
Regain Creative Freedom
Predictable income from your patrons means you can create on your terms. No strings attached.
Over $350 million Sent to Creators
An average patron pays more on a monthly basis than consumers pay for Netflix, Spotify, or Amazon Prime.
Meet some Patreon creators
Kinda Funny is creating Internet videos and podcasts
“We couldn’t do this without Patreon. […] Patreon takes away the level of guesswork that will actually allow you to strategically plan and grow your business.”
Issa Rae Presents is creating Series, Films, Events
“I first launched my Patreon page as a way to fund the content that we were putting out on a weekly basis. Now, we use Patreon as a membership program to not only fund content, but to hold local events and give supporters exclusive perks.”
Zach Weinersmith is creating SMBC Comics and Books
“It’s the most reliable and relaxing way to make a living for creators. Every other way to make money (ads, crowdfunding, merchandise, conventions…) is subject to seasonality and random fluctuations.”
Peter Hollens is creating Music Videos
“Patreon not only changed my life, but changed the lives of the people I employ, the 19 contractors and the full-time employees. Because of them, I’m able now to grow a digital media company and help foster this type of creation.”
Cyrille Aimee is creating Songs and Music videos
“To me, Patreon is the future of the music business. To cut out the middle man and make art accessible directly from the artist to the fan, is one of the beauties of internet.”
Wait But Why is creating high-quality blog posts
“Creating stuff online is still pretty new and the world hasn’t really figured out a good business model to make it sustainable. Patreon is the best solution to this problem that we’ve come across — a simple way for the people who really want to help support Wait But Why to do so.”
The Rubin Report is creating a talk show about big ideas and free speech.
“Joining Patreon was the single best career move I’ve ever made. We started a production company, got new equipment and built a home studio all in the last six months, and this is just the beginning. I’m truly beholden to nobody, well except my dog, and that’s really the greatest gift you can get as a content creator.”
