Patreon

Patreon is one of the most distinctive sites on our list, focusing on the next generation of artists, such as bloggers, YouTubers, podcasters, cartoonists, musicians, live streamers, and others.

Patreon was created for creators and internet personalities with loyal audiences to generate recurring revenue through paid memberships. While many of the top crowdfunding sites support limited-run campaigns, Patreon was created for creators and internet personalities with loyal audiences to generate recurring revenue through paid memberships. Patrons can pay each month for exclusive community benefits, or per work to encourage you to produce more.

Exclusive material, branded gear, sneak peaks, shoutouts, and more are all available to Patreon contributors depending on different donation tiers. It can be worth setting up a Patreon profile if you're a creative who releases new content on a regular basis and has a large online following.

You may use Patreon's numerous integrations to develop a community of loyal fans and provide special content that unlocks based on the patron's membership status.

In this interview with Wait But Why, you can learn more about using Patreon to monetize your audience.

Fees: Between 5% and 12% of your monthly income, depending on your Patreon pricing plan.
