Might sound like a silly question, but I hope offering services that doesn't violate any of the community guidelines apart from posting content can you offer one on one Coaching?, say via MS teams. In this tier you access content plus you get 2 hours of Coaching.

I say seemingly because that's the only explanation I can think of. Upon finding this out, I immediately changed my password and updated my financial information. I requested a refund from both creators immediately.

Somehow, despite all of this happening *this morning*, my request got rejected on the grounds of being outside the refund window of 60 days. I shouldn't have to explain how that makes no sense

I put in a request with Patreon Support directly after this and now I'm just waiting for a response, but I'd like to know if there's anything else i should do

(Won't be able to respond for a couple of hours after posting this just fyi)

So I got a message that they would charge me IGV (Peru taxes) starting November 1. The payment method I receive is through PayPal, so I'm not sure if that would affect it there, or if it will affect it if I receive the payment through a bank transfer.
Idk how it works if my Peruvian bank isn't linked to Patreon. PayPal only.

18% is a big number, so I'm not sure if that would affect me or if I support a Patreon creator.

I was thinking about changing the country but I'm not sure. Do you know anything about this?

Thanks in advance.

Hey all! So I've been using Patreon for sometime and I have been very focused on posting to my page all year. My page is about my character designs and my art process, I tend to post written tutorials and as of recent I just started posting videos. My main goal with my Patreon is to build up free members and get my engagement up so that way my memberships can be more appealing. I've been posting to Bsky and instagram reminding my following to check out my Patreon whenever I post, however I feel as though this isn't reaching enough folks.

I currently have 16 free members and my engagement has been steady with 3-7 views a day. Looking at my graphic, 99% of my views comes from direct links. I was wondering what tactics do you guys use to get views and engagement up on your Patreon pages? Any advice would be helpful!

I am a SFW creator, and today got a letter from allegedly Patreon support from email ending with [email]patreon.zendesk.com

I am unsure about validity of email and validity of a threat (account suspended by 22 October if no action taken). I live in Russia, I choose an option in 8-BEEN tax setting to not be an USA resident, but formally I filled all other miscellaneous fields as USA resident to avoid tax? I don't remember.

Im a NSFW Artist and right now im experiencing a spike of growth. I currently have a 3$ Tier with access to pretty much all content (the most popular one) and a 10$ Tier with access to everything +animations. My idea was to insert a 6$ option with access to comics, so to have the 3$ for illustrations, 6$ comics and 10$ animations. The feeling is that while creating a new 6$ tier all together would be just fine, changing the 3$ Tier, while grandfathering the old subs, would give the option to highlight the tier as the most popular, while re-adding back the 3$ tier would maintain the entry level option.

Is the reasoning sound? Does it go against patreon tos?

Has anyone had this issue? On Bunny.net the video thumbnail is fine when I add it to patreon to embed. But then as soon as I apply and refresh my patreon the avatar image from my profile is the thumbnail cover for the video! When I click the video it shows the correct thumbnail from Bunny. So all my videos are showing my patreon avatar as the thumbnail.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I've been a Patreon creator for around five years, and I'm here to share my thoughts on this based on my own recent experience.

For a long time, I've seen people argue that creators shouldn't do anything when their content gets leaked because it supposedly doesn't affect their subscriber count. Some even go as far as calling leaks "free advertising," arguing that people who seek out leaked content would never pay for it anyway.

A couple of months ago, I discovered that a certain website known for leaking content was back. Many of you probably already know which one I'm talking about. It has a different name this time, but it's essentially the same website.

Around the time it came back, before I even realized what was happening, I noticed a pretty significant drop in my subscriber count.

Afterward, I started restricting access to my content, and so far, it's been working. My content is no longer being fully leaked on that website. All they can access now are the thumbnails I use for each post.

According to my stats, the subscriber losses practically stopped as soon as I made those changes. On top of that, I started gaining new paying subscribers, and quite a few people who had been gone for months even came back.

So I just want to make one thing clear: YES, having your content leaked can absolutely affect your subscriber count and your income.

Don't blindly listen to people telling you to ignore leaks and do nothing about them. Every creator's situation is different, but based on my own experience, taking action made a real difference. Also, remember that as a creator, you have the RIGHT to protect what's yours. This isn't about making things more difficult for your subscribers; it's about maintaining the exclusivity of the content you're promising them.

P.S. I'm not going to name the website because it's not allowed here, so don't bother asking. But guys, it's really not that hard to figure out which one I'm talking about. They're not exactly very creative when it comes to naming these sites. 😂

Im trying to use it to manage my dms, growth/trends, schedule but if its something thats ban risky, id rather not try it. wanted to hear opinions.

Hello there! I’ve been doing digital illustrations for a few years now and have just now decided to set up a Patreon to help support my comic projects. I’m looking for some general advice on how to get my page noticed. I’m in the development stages of my comic, looking to get it up and published with the next month or so.

Is there anything that I can do to help gain some general traffic on my page?

Thank you for taking the time to read this😁

When I'm in the comment section I can click on users to see if they're a creator in their own right, but there doesn't seem to be a way to access their page from that profile. I seem to remember that one of the perks of the (required) merging of our creator and patron profiles was that we would get increased visibility - so surely there should be a way to access the creator's page from their profile... right?

Its entirely possible that I'm just being thick - can somebody let me know what's up with this?

Has anyone tried to do a payout lately? It's telling me they are disabled and you come back at a later date.

I have zero interest in seeing random stuff, I just want to see my memberships.

I'm a creator on Patreon where I share my original audiobook stories. I post almost every day, and all my audiobooks are over an hour long. Currently, I charge $6 per month for membership. Do you think I could increase the price a little, or would that be too expensive for my subscribers?

If I cancel a membership now do I still have the membership until the end of the month or do I lose it and or am I this sort of limbo where I don’t have the membership but have the benefits?

Home, About, etc

Hi, I'm an artist primarily creating original works, mostly in the form of elaborate illustrations. These feature my own characters. I currently don't draw fanart. Since I stopped drawing fanart, I went from hundreds of engagements per artwork to less then five.

Do I just have to bite the bullet and draw fandom works to get the word out? Does anyone producing "fine art" and constructing original worlds have any success on Patreon?

Edit: I do fairly well off commissions but would like a tip jar option that actually works.

so I kinda wanna draw yaoi ngl and have a patreon but is it hard to make money off of it? I really wanna and like promote on twitter and stuff but worried not gonna make money off of it, I think ima good artist but idk. Also how do u deal with family asking about it incase they find out lmao, seems scary / awkward 😭
Edit : Forgot to mention it’d be both furry and human art

As someone who has supported over 20 creators over the last 5 years, I cannot stress this enough. THANK YOUR PATRONS! Whether that be something as simple as liking their comments, replying to the comment on the post, or (most preferably) making it personal in Patreon Dm; take the time to reach out to them and thank them for supporting your work. I cannot tell you how easy it is to click that delete pledge button if a creator hasn’t had the decency to either like one single comment I’ve made or reply to one little comment. I’ve paid creators more simply for taking the time to talk to me and get to know me a little bit. I’ve upped my pledge on some as well as even donating hundreds of dollars directly to their PayPal, simply because they took the time to make me feel seen, heard, and appreciated. It truly goes a long way when you go out of yours to treat your patrons like human beings by taking the time to get to know them or even send them a quick dm saying “what do you think about the last post?”

I get it, we understand you’re busy. Most of us will never understand the sacrifices, time, and effort it takes to follow your dreams and to create a living fully funded from dedicated fans. We go out of our way to support you by spending our hard earned cash on you because we think you’re worth it. Show us that we’re worth it too by going a little above and beyond. I’m sure the creators I’ve tipped hundreds of extra dollars on never expected such support from someone who was a fan of their work. You never know; maybe you’ll get lucky too if you take the time to get to know your fans.

I’m trying to Sign in with Apple ID but it keeps giving me an error. I just want to subscribe to a channel. Sorry for my stupid ass but what is Apple ID settings?

So I’ve been seeing a lot of artists get a little money here and there on Patreon, and I been wondering how do I start one. Do I build a community on what I like? Does it need to be specific or just random ideas? And where do I post my NSFW art the most to get the most attention?

I have just opened a Patreon page where I post what I create. A friend of mine advised me to post on Reddit… but where?

Spent like the whole day editing on Canva and I don’t want my work going to waste. Can anybody help?

I’d like to reach international audience and diversify my support source, and I thought of keeping a Fanbox page in parallel with Patreon. Does it make sense? It’s useless? The two page would cannibalize each other?

Today I got my first refund request, the patron bought a $20 tier...but now he's asking for a refund, he says that he got hacked...but he hasn't left the tier...what do you think?

Is there any way to stop people from subscribing, getting access to all the content, and then immediately unsubscribe?

Basically, I’m looking for ways to encourage people to stay subscribed. What do you guys usually do?
