What is Patreon?

Revolutionize your understanding of art's worth by encouraging your most passionate fans to support your creative projects through a subscription-based membership model. By leveraging platforms such as Patreon, you can transform your audience into active participants in the art they love, offering them unique content, a community feel, and insights into your artistic process. Consequently, this arrangement provides you with the freedom to chase your most ambitious goals while ensuring the financial security needed to build a sustainable career as an independent artist. Instead of depending on unreliable advertising revenue and inconsistent per-stream payouts, you can create a steady income stream through regular patronage. This financial foundation empowers you to produce works that align with your personal vision and meet the desires of your audience, all without the constraints of mainstream trends or the challenges of ad-based revenue models. Bid farewell to intrusive advertisements, online negativity, and perplexing algorithms, and embrace enriching interactions and thoughtful conversations with individuals who truly value your art. By choosing to deepen your artistic practice and foster closer connections with your supporters, you will find that Patreon serves as an ideal platform to facilitate your growth. Additionally, this partnership not only enhances your creative output but also reinforces the relationship you cultivate with your audience, making the artistic journey all the more fulfilling.

    Summary

    While I do not run the financial aspect of the development team, I was the one who initially setup the Patreon for the project a few years back. If you are looking to raise money for hobby interests and freeware projects, it is a great tool to utilize for such. The integration with other apps such as Discord for subscriber benefits is a great touch as well and simplifies the process for the projects staff to not have to verify users' actual proof of subscription.

    Positive

    The freeware organization I work with utilizes Patreon as the main processing system for donations. Patreon has multiple ways to have projects charge users for subscriptions which is nice for varying types of projects. The integration with other applications, especially Discord is great and provides a nice perk for subscribers to our project with minimal work on our part. The fee structure is also fair in my opinion.

    Negative

    I have very little complaints with Patreon, the fee structures I find fair, the integration with other financial institutions is solid. There is sometimes some minor issues with the Discord integration is my only minor complaint.
