Patreon is a membership platform. Fans pay a creator on a recurring basis, usually in tiers, for ongoing work.

It fits a relationship, not a one-time download. Check Patreon’s current platform fee before you model income.

Good to know

  • Tiered memberships fans pay over time
  • A familiar place for audience support
  • Posts and benefits are organized around the membership

Limits

  • Awkward for a single one-off download
  • Platform fees change. Check Patreon before you forecast revenue
