January 17, 2024Too Patreon or not to Patreon
We are back after winter break and kicking this year off with a discussion about Patreon for Artists and for our podcast. Do you have a Patreon? Tell us about your Patreon and what you are doing and we may give you a shoutout and share your info! We'd love to hear from you, email us at [email protected] or DM us on Instagram at @artistssoarpodcast
If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to email us at [email protected]
Key Talking Points
- Stephanie was doing the research: how to fill the gap between being small and the large artists/podcasters to gain income?
The threshold of when to get a Patreon, again, falls to the numbers: you need a lot of fans/followers before it is worth the time and money to do a Patreon.
2-3% will convert from one platform to the next. So focus on the 1st platform before moving onto another.
The marketing of the Patreon and providing value on Patreon is the equivalent effort to other marketing avenues.
Until, add a donation button to your website, or add a donation button to your newsletter.
Do you have a Patreon? Tell us about your Patreon and what you are doing and we may give you a shoutout and share your info! We'd love to hear from you, email us at [email protected]
