I agree with avoiding physical rewards so you can scale as your Patreon grows. Offering a digital download is as easy to do for 1 person as it is 1,000. I offer animated loops, and a lot of it is repurposed from animated projects I'm already working on. The trick is figuring out how to repackage things you're already making into rewards, that way you aren't spending a ton of extra time just on Patreon, it can grow naturally as an extension to what you're already making!
Thanks for share this tips about the tiers on patreon, it's very detail and usefull! This vídeo give me the information for my patreon tiers because I don't have idea how to make it or what should do like a reward. Thanks a lot! Keep making more videos like this!
Fantastic video, thank you! Just about to start my Patreon so you’re talking points were so useful 10\10 👏👏👏
Simon Thank you! We also started Patreon not long ago we start to have some patrons. Later I will make an update video on my experience working with Patreon!
I really appreciate your in-depth knowledge and information to this community.
Thanks for your message!
Very well thought out with many insights, thanks :)
big fan of your work
this video really gave me some ideas i can start out with on my patreon, thanks for sharing and providing some insight on this kind of stuff
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, that was very helpful. Yes, don't talk while you are eating!
Thanks for dropping by! I will be making more videos, see u again sometimes! 😋
HOLY CRAP!! so many great ideas!! ^^
Glad you like them!😆
The people that I'm acquainted with who do very well on Patreon are vehemently against physical rewards unless it somehow connects to their already existent business and others often have to drop physical rewards once Patreon hits a certain scale. Like one person I know lets Patreon supporters have a reserved number for the purchase of limited edition prints. The only exception is having an annual pledge drive with an exclusive item like an enamel pin.
The Dream Syndicate Art Dolls Making and sending these awards could be costly and time consuming for sure. Doing it once a year is a good idea. There are ways to make drop-shipped merchs cheaper, like using Printful. The making and sending is at least taken care of.
@@VeryPrivateGallery how does a service like Printful different from S6 / InPrnt / Redbubble in that you lose that personal touch or connection with your customer? Is the only difference that they order directly from your own shopfront (Shopify, Squarespace etc). I can see the advantage if you are processing a large number of orders though, definitely, or especially with certain items that are fragile or expensive to the make and ship.
Laura B Printful is different! It’s like a remote printer. You deal with customers.
Laura B Imagine you are making a print with local printer, next to your home. They send it for you, but you need to pay them, deal with customers, make the design files etc. Printify and Printful are just machines.
@@VeryPrivateGallery Ahh ok, I got you. I think I need to explore Printful in more detail! Thank you :)
Thanks, great video!:))
Thank you! This was very helpful!
Kirilee Cosplay Thanks! Let me know if you have any other content you wish to see!
Hope the Slice of Pizza was Delicious! This video really HELPED alot TY!!!!! SO MUCH & HNY2022!
Hi Antonio, happy new year and wish the best in 2022!
Amazing video, really. I like your reasoning and your pros/cons arguments for each reward. Subbed o/
Glad you enjoyed! Patreon changed a bit since last time I made this video. I will make new videos on Patreon and perhaps other similar platforms as well.
@@VeryPrivateGallery This will be very helpful and much appreciated! Thank you o/

Very well done! Unique information, I loved hearing your approach to Patreon. I’m worried about starting on mine too early, but it was cool to hear the honorary awards. I am thinking if I do a Facebook group then maybe I don’t have to post all the time, and it can be sort of self-created by the fans (with my approval) by encouraging fan art and then we could do monthly group calls. I was thinking of even doing monthly challenges like 5 mins of a still camera angle focused on nature. Taylor Swift did this for her lyric videos and I think it could be cool for mine, but I’d rather have other people take them. Then they could explain which song goes with the scenery and why. Just not sure if fans would actually want to do this without monetary compensation to them! I’m worried about what types of people I may attract on there since I have a wide range of fans, a lot of them are older men (like you were saying with the risqué video thing) which is fine because I have an older style of music anyway but younger women who like my music usually don’t feel such a sense of community with that demographic. I just hope if I create one, it’ll help create a better sense of community and that I wouldn’t have to post all the time, I feel like a physical box might suit me more since I’ve had success with my CDs. Just not sure where to price everything at, and how to keep $1 or $5 a month people interested when they aren’t getting as much as everyone else. In fact, I almost wonder if I should do just one price like any other kind of subscription box so people aren’t overwhelmed with options. Just not sure yet. I still have to figure out how to notate some chords for some of my songs if I want to send lyric sheets 😂 I was also thinking of including some quirky things in there like paper games: Mash, Bingo, Fortune teller, and eventually I may create my own tarot deck and board games based off my music. Also not sure if I want to include a custom merch option and I might save my art prints for my highest tier subscribers. Still total work in process, especially as I only have one merch item right now and it’s been hard to have the funds to create more. Perhaps if I stream on Twitch more and take a break from Instagram it could help create a better following!
Hi, the table game, card game and tarot deck are great ideas. They are more suited for kickstarter though. Have you considered that? It’s more like a sprint, not a marathon.
great ideas
Great content on your video thank you.
A Life Inspired Thanks!
A friend of mine, Lisa Lachri of Lachri Fine Arts, has a very successful Patreon channel. She is going to help me get going. In the meantime, your channel is very helpful in the process! Thank you!
Glad I could be helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thsnk u for mading this video
Thank you! Very helpful vedio
You are very welcome!
Very effective, thanks
Glad it helped! You have almost 1K subs. Maybe you can consider starting your Patreon account soon.
Many many thanks to you for your valuable suggestions, I must follow, thanks again
I was not expecting the slice of pizza 🤣
Gluten is so bad but pizza is so good!
I just made my Patreon page and didn't have a clue on what to do for my tiers. I do stained glass and have a RUclips channel I just started last month. I am new to all of this and learning as quickly as I can. The information here was good and gave me a few ideas but I am not fully there yet. Any suggestions for this type of art?
Hi, the easiest way to “add value” is to share your knowledge. How to videos, exclusive long videos for patrons, toolkit list, personal coaching for new artists... etc if you are willing to share.
Good suggestions. I was also thinking videos of epic mistakes as you usually don’t see these in normal videos and it always isn’t perfect. Maybe have that one at a higher tier. 😂. Thanks for your response.
It’s easier to distribute and deliver digital content as rewards! Due to covid, all international shipping are super slow, and pricy. Its not easy to do the good old “print on demand & drop shipping” kind of merchs nowadays. If you can find a way to make digital content that people enjoy, it’s great.
Thank you for the video! I don't think anyone would join my patreon even if I have 2k subscribers but I am hoping for it because I am not yet monetized
👋 Hi! I think reaching 1K subs is the hardest part. If you already have 2K subs you will get monetize in no time! If you want it faster, you can make longer videos so it adds up to longer watch hours.
Hi there, I've got a tricky question for you about Patreon. I haven't set up a Patreon page yet but was considering starting one with full length 15min-25min video tutorials as part of the rewards. Is this possible given that Patreon sets the max upload size to 200Mb per video file :( I saw that some people are suggesting compress zip files which would still result in several uploads per tutorial. I read that HD video uses about 145Mb per minute. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the helpful video :)
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ If you use H.264 and compression using Premiere Pro settings, you can get HD video under 200MB although it’s not ideal. I think you can simply use unlisted RUclips videos and send your patrons the link. If you don’t mind paying, Vimeo is not bad either.
@@VeryPrivateGallery thank you so much for the advice! Is it also possible for me to just include the link in a text post on Patreon so they can access the link directly from the patreon page? Does Patreon allow for this?
@@myartcube Yes it can be a text with link, but it’s better if you can make a PDF with a message (like an update, a thank-you message etc).
@@VeryPrivateGallery Thank you so much! you've been a tremendous help to me. I really a appreciate the guidance :)
@@myartcube You are very welcome. Currently Vimeo is giving basic (free) plan to all users: “500MB per week of upload space, up to 5GB total account storage.” It’s not a lot but I believe you can use it for the first year. Vimeo is good you have to embed a link without the end-screen “recommended videos” to other channels. I am not sure if I expressed it clearly because English isn’t my first language.
What is a patreon only community in tge fisrt tier on the rewards?
Lorraine Yusay Hi, when you say Patreon only, you mean you are not communicating else where (like not on RUclips)?
Lorraine Yusay If you want to give something special, you can give the mentions. It’s honorable and special, plus doesn’t cost you anything to do.
@@VeryPrivateGallery it was already there in the first tier when i signed up... For $3 tier
- patreon only community
- high def art for mobile and wallpaper.
I do not know what "only patreon community" means is it like my patrions can communicate with each other or do i have to chat with them often? Im lost. 😩
Lorraine Yusay You can change the rewards whenever you want. I think it means the rewards are only available on Patreon, and it’s a community where fans can reach out if they want to. You certainly can generate formatted messages to your fans and send to everyone every month.
How do you make money in RUclips and etc get advert, and set bank account details please thanks good video tho
Each RUclipsr makes different kind of money depending on the value of the ad placement. For example, business videos for CEOs would typically more expensive than teenage doll videos. Also depends on how many thousands of views you can generate.
Thanks would like to know more
Hi, i am not sure if you will read this but i really am hoping that you would. I really am new to this and i have been trying to read on it and still get confused. So where does the subscriber pay you to watch? On youtube? and how can i sign up for it. Right now i am out of work due to the covid, we were laid off and i would very much like to make a living out of my youtube channel. But obviously starting off anew and having so little subscribers, it has not monetized yet. So any help financially from patreon would be a great help for me.
Aileen's Lookbook Hi, Patrons pay to access content when they log in they can see all the exclusive content. Usually this exclusive content is video. We also have Patreon but we give different things. All our videos are open to all public, only our digital downloads (leaflets, access code for Apps) are exclusive to Patrons.
Aileen's Lookbook You need to get many followers from different social media to make a successful Patreon. The platform won’t give you any business leads, because people can not browse within to discover your page.
@@VeryPrivateGallery Hi am very sorry i wanted to address you properly but you didnt mention your name. I really appreciate your replying to me. am i correct to understand that you need to be selling items or handicraft or some form of art in order to be under patreon? So if i just have a normal youtube channel without any merchandise i cannot be under patreon?
Aileen's Lookbook hi, you can call me Mo. So, where should I start? Think Patreon as your fan club. They pay to get your news (video content, vlogs) or tools (like a master class with digital tools). You don’t even have to do anything, they can just pay you to support you.
Aileen's Lookbook It’s safe to say you need: 1000 subs on RUclips, 50K on Insta and 10K+ monthly website visits to your own site, to attract enough patrons for your cost of living. This is based on my own experience.
We know for what ..... We just don't know , HOW !
Thank you! Trying to guess how to improve my Patreon about iPad illustration ( jungle_of_colors )
Anastasiya Kulyabina I see that you have already 22k+ on Insta, how cool. You are working in BCN? What is your midterm objective with your RUclips Insta and Patreon?
Very Private Gallery thank you! Yes, I am living in Barcelona! Trying to guess how I candevelop more my hobbie
Thank you for replying!
Bets,
Nastya
GUMROAD would seem a better platform for tutorials and on demand learning as this seems to be what consumers want. If I set up a patreon it will only be for selling art and my art services and nothing else.
Hi Lunera, yes Gumroad and Patreon are very different. Gumroad is a personal Etsy store (for digital and physical products) and Patreon is the artistic “Red Cross” for a cause.
She sounds like Sakimichan.
I just launched "www.patreon.com/PropagandaComics". It's an extremely satirical, parodied, overly-politicized comic interweaving around media bias. My hope is that it becomes a viable business. There is also a Facebook page that points to the patreon, it's "facebook.com/PropagandaComix".
Hi Benjamin, I visited your Patreon page. I think you can compress the top tiers (like Producer, assistant producer etc) because usually it’s not open to the public. You can focus more on the entry level tiers and make them more interesting.
Propaganda is already the brand name for one of the world leading contemporary artist Ron English. It’s hard to compete against someone so established. Perhaps you can add a flare to it and make it more differentiated?
You covered a lot of deep questions in such a quick and clever insightful way. 20/20 video☺👍👍...
