LET'S TALK PATREON artist starting + building on patreon

Walker Charles Harris Paul Allen Cynthia

Okay, you kind of remind me of me

Awesome great information, glad you touched all the basis points on this video, It look like you have a lot of pressure on your end, constantly creating could be quite overwhelming, not everyday you feeling in the mood, sometimes even when you start writing or creating your minds goes blank, anyhow thank you for the tips @spookarts

Super love the transparency, made notes… just need to stop rebelling against myself. Thank you great vid!

I love how real you are! Thank you for sharing.

Youre hilarious! I very much appreciate this video and find all the tips super useful. Thanks for sharing =D

I’ve been flying through all your old content and I love that you said you’ll never make a podcast, but now have a podcast haha. Super inspirational to see your growth through the years. Love your content. Subscribed to your patreon for March. Thanks for being a wealth of knowledge for all us artists out here.

Super insightful, thank you! I'm hoping to open my Patreon soon!!!

I 💕 your personality

Much always,

Great informative and inspiring vid. Plus you are a master of the jump cut. I can never get mine to look as smooth as yours!

Detailed analysis for those thinking of starting a Patreon. Thank you!

that was super helpful for me thank you so so much!

Cute .

Thanks for this ❤

Setting up coaching sessions and live group video sessions on Patreon. Absolutely crushed my soul and popped by bubble when you said I don’t do those exact things all grumbly haha 😂.

Thanks for this video. Really enjoyed it and very helpful.

This video was so wonderful, thank you! I was curious, do you use Discord to connect with your Patreon community? I haven’t connected it to my Patreon yet, but I am frustrated that my patrons cannot share their artwork with each other on the Patreon platform! Help, please!

I have the same issue with ko-fi now.
I have set up a page, added tiers, I feel like I'm already overdoing myself and offering too much, and...nobody is coming lol
I'm drawing fanarts currently and I'm kinda afraid I have to give up on what I like, and draw what people like (obviously, what they'd pay money for...) but that just wouldn't work, I know myself.

I'm going to admit that I was secretly hoping the lights would keep falling down until the end of the video. it was like a subtext describing how the ideal and the real sometimes have different agendas and we are responsible for the way we navigate those currents...also it was funny. mostly that...actually...if I'm being honest. ugh.

"i mean like all the way on the whim"
cute lights in the bg: oh wait, is that my cue?

I loved the video, so funny! Canada is also America, isn't it? Thank you very much!

This is such a helpful video for a complete Patreon newbie. Thanks for keepin’ it real 👌

So helpful thank you!!

Your music is louder than your voice and it's hard to hear... closed captions are nice.

love the fact that you're as chaotic and kinda look like doja cat

in a good way that was not an insult at all, that was just a random feeling

Thank you so much Leigh, building up my Patreon with a lot of help from this video.

Thanks good video, I do soccer training content, so a bit different but really nice to hear the perspective and what you do!

When you said 'maybe' about starting a podcast I laughed a little, idk why I'm getting older videos of you recommended but I don't mind

Love your energy

"I don't even know what it is"
Meanwhile me: spends 3 years overthinking it

All of this was so so helpful. I’m considering diving more into my art to try and earn money while in college and this was a really thorough overview of the investment/return of a Patreon. Thank you!!

you're hilarious and this was super helpful.

Thanks for this insight into how Patreon works for you! It's something I'm looking into longer-term... 😊

Sooooooo helpful. Much needeeeeeeed

Really great vid & thorough haha. Thanks Leigh

Coming back to this vid in 2022 cuz I've been thinking of launching a Patreon lately, and it's just neat to see that you do have a podcast now! (I'm a big yeah maybe fan hehe). Thanks for this video, is there any more advice you'd add or stuff you said in this vid that you have different thoughts on now that you've been on the platform for even longer?

Thank you so much for making this video, I just hit 40 subscribers here on YT. So excited!! Yeah, I still have a ways to go, but you have helped me understand the potential of how patron can help me. Thank you soooo muuuuch.

This was so freakin helpful, thank you SO much. you sharing your experience of how you don't have all the answers while telling us what works for you... just gave me a breath of fresh air and encouragement. SUBSCRIBED, keep being great!

Your video helped me a lot.
Thanks Leigh.
I should have started Patreon 3 to 4 years ago.

I hope I can get a magical Patreon going in 2022!!

Thank you, this video has been really helpful 🙏

Hi, My name is Néstor Marko and I live in Nicaragua , I AM a Song writer, but I also draw, play The violín and I am familiarize with The puppets since I AM a little kid , i love them , actually . Spanish is My native language but I teach English . I use all The arts elements that I know and practiced all My life , to teach kids a New language , so they can learn English in a Fun and natural environments. You can see The múltiple videos throught The years, In My You tube Chanel or facebook . I never received Much Money for My job, And now i work as independent teacher( not for The state schools' system) Kids love The puppets, The inmense variety of games, and also to sing , So I give My students The blessing of a smile wich I consider it not To be a little thing in times like these , these kids have problems at their Home, so You can imagine The importance of this proyect I' Ve been working on for several years without any help but My own . I play The guitar or The violín , or create craft like "art atackt " and use those elements to teach them not Just a New language , but also About values like honesty, friendship, love for The elders , The importance of respect for race variety, I talk About bullying, The importance of cooperation... and The love for reading books through The story teling using The puppets as hosts. I read them literature for kids or classics . My job include to Make kids know About science , arts , history , The gloval warming , The importance of not throwing The trash everywere , The reciclables , etc . My question is , does patrón works in hispanoamerican countries like Nicaragua ? . It would be so Nice To feel I AM not doing this alone . Thanks for The vídeo . I Will copy and paste this comment in other videos. HaVe a great day , My friend!

We can be Artist friends if you don't have any yet!

I really enjoyed this video, I hope I can apply some of these things and make a living off of my work. Thanks!

I've always felt nervous about it. But I think I will make one and see how it goes.
