What is Moho (Anime Studio)?
Moho (previously called Anime Studio) is a 2D animation program created by Smith Micro.
Available for both the Mac and PC this software is easy to use. The basic version costs $69.99, and the pro version is $399.99.
It’s been around since 1999, has regular updates and has a supportive community.

About my website AnimeStudioTutor.com
I run an independent website listing the best tutorials available on YouTube and Vimeo along with my own tutorials.
Created in 2012, the website has 4680+ members, 360+ tutorials, 390+ shared files, 1480+ user's animations, useful links and much more.

Why Patreon?
Each month I run a competition on AnimeStudioTutor.com. The idea is for the members to create a short animation based on a set theme. The files used to create the animations are then shared for other users to learn from. The prize is normally a $20 Amazon voucher.
At the end of each year, there’s also an annual award for the best animation, and Smith Micro have kindly given the winners free copies of their software.
The competition has been running for over three years now and I’ve given away over $1959 worth of prizes, which includes over $800 of my own money.
I do have Google advertising on the site, it doesn’t generate much as it’s a bit of a niche website. I’ve tried selling items and tutorials on the site, but that hasn't generated much.
So I’m now going to try Patreon.

I need help with the running costs of the website (Prizes, hosting, domain names etc.)
Any financial help would be greatly appreciated, no matter how small.

Goals:
My first goal will be enough to cover the cost of the monthly competition prize.
This prize money helps to encourage participation in the competition which in turn helps to build a catalogue of content others can use.
