As an artist, chef, musician, writer, designer, or whatever your amazing skill is, you can offer your paying patrons an exclusive glimpse of content, recipes, poems, or songs that the general public does not have access to. Patreon might be a great way to diversify your revenue doing something you already do, creating content.
Patreon: The best way for artists and creators to get sustainable income and connect with fans To get started with Patreon, you will need an account. You can set it up through Google, Facebook, or an email address. Then add a profile picture. Use your photo or your logo for your profile. Remember, be consistent with your branding! Add a short description of who you are and what you do. This is a great place to use your one-line USP (unique selling proposition). Go into more details in the about me section. Just remember, your Patreon is part of your brand, be consistent with your brand management!
YAC’s CSA participant, Katie Topberry of Mrs. Hippie’s Baked Goods, utilizes Patreon to connect with her audience. This is what she had to say about the platform:
“I create recipes and share kitchen tips and ideas for my Patreon content. So far, I have just grown my audience by sharing on my social media pages. Patreon is a small addition to my income, but it is nice to know that I always have that to count on. Even a little bit can add up quickly and helps to support my cookbook project. My favorite thing about the Patreon platform is that it allows me to share my recipes and ideas with an audience that values the information and is willing to compensate me for my time and effort. It is an equal energy exchange, which is hard to beat.”
