Patreon

Membership platform for creators and artists

About Patreon

Patreon is a membership platform that connects artists and creators with their most dedicated fans, allowing them to earn a sustainable income. It serves a variety of creators, including writers, musicians, visual artists, and podcasters, by enabling them to offer exclusive content and experiences to their supporters, known as patrons, in exchange for a monthly subscription fee. Creators can set up different membership tiers that provide various perks, which helps them establish a reliable income stream that is often more stable than traditional revenue sources like advertising. Patreon takes a percentage of the earnings from creators, ensuring that the company's success is tied to the success of its users. The platform also provides tools for creators to manage their memberships, engage with patrons, and grow their audience. The main goal of Patreon is to support independent creators in achieving financial stability and fostering a closer relationship with their audience.
