Congratulations! You've made it to the Door Monster Patreon page, the place where we take useless, deadbeat dollars and convert them into forces for good. And by good, we mean internet comedy sketches. Here's an in-depth explanation of how Patreon works.
What's This About My Money?
Our channel is supported largely by donations from fans like you! Patreon is actually our most stable source of income, specifically because one dollar coming from a hundred people is less likely to disappear than a hundred dollars coming from one person. Every dollar helps make that foundation stronger, and allows us to spend more time on writing, producing, and editing bigger and better videos. We literally couldn't do this without you.
Yes! And the amount of money is growing. But there are a couple of problems with ad revenue. For one, ads generate a relatively small amount of money. For our first viral video, Door Monster, we received a grand total of $198 for 750,000 views. It takes a long time to earn any real income from ad revenue alone, and there's a lot of work that goes into sustaining it. The second problem is that even when we do sustain it, the amount of money we get is entirely dependent on what advertisers are paying, and sometimes they don't. During the month of one site-wide controversy that had nothing to do with us, our ad revenue dropped by half. So in summary, it's great when we get it, but it's extremely unreliable.
What If... I Don't Want To?
That's fine! You live in America or some other country that's just as good regardless of what Americans say! You're perfectly free to continue watching our videos and enjoying our work whether you fund us on Patreon or not. Our audience is what makes our work possible and worth doing, so whether you're supporting us financially or giving us views, you're a valued member of our community!
Rewards
Gary Tier
$1 or more per month ∙ 720 patrons
For one measly dollar a month, you get access to early, detailed updates about our projects right here on Patreon, a link to our private Discord channel, and we'll pay attention to you more than we do other people!
In addition to all previous reward, you will receive a monthly invite to a Discord hangout where we can chat about whatever and play games or something.
In addition to all previous rewards, you'll receive a monthly discount code for our t-shirts over at TeeSpring.com and access to digital PDFs of that month's scripts.
In addition to all previous rewards, you will receive access to commentary tracks on a collection of our old videos each month. We'll get the cast back together and talk about what happened on set that day, and we'll take your suggestions on which videos to cover.
In addition to all previous rewards, you will be credited at the end of our sketches for each month that you remain a patron on this tier! This includes a graphic credit during the end plate and a text credit in the description. You may add a link to anything of your choosing to the text credit - your channel, website, whatever. Just let us know via private message!
In addition to all previous rewards, you will get a direct shoutout in one of our bi-weekly behind the scenes videos for each month that you remain a patron on this tier! You can also request one personalized video message from the crew per month - this can be a happy birthday, a congratulations, or another message of your choosing. Just send us your request here on Patreon!
If you find it in your heart to donate this ridiculous amount of money to an ok YouTube channel, then you're already a better person than any of us. Come join us for lunch and we'll let you in on one of our weekly Community Comments videos! Travel arrangements are up to you, and this reward is limited to one use per person.
At this point, you've helped elevate Door Monster Entertainment from a medium-sized YouTube channel to a small-sized production studio! It's a lofty goal, but with this amount per month, we can afford to pay at least 2 full-time employees an actual salary, pay everyone else a steady rate per video, rent a shared office space, and start work on bigger, cooler projects.
