Patreon is a way to get paid for creating the things you\u2019re\u00a0already\u00a0creating\u00a0(webcomics, videos, songs, whatevs). Fans pay a few bucks per month OR\u00a0per post\u00a0you release, and then you get paid every month, or every time you release something new.

Instead of\u00a0literally\u00a0throwing money at your screen\u00a0(trust us, that doesn\u2019t work), you can now pay a few bucks\u00a0per month\u00a0or\u00a0per post\u00a0that a creator makes. \u00a0For example, if you pay $2 per video, and the creator releases 3 videos in February, then your card gets charged a total of $6 that month. \u00a0This means the creator gets paid regularly\u00a0(every time she releases something new), and you become a bonafide, real-life patron of the arts. \u00a0That\u2019s right&#8211;Imagine\u00a0you, in a long frilly white wig, painted on a 10-foot canvas on the wall of a Victorian mansion. \u00a0And imagine your favorite creators\u00a0making a living\u00a0doing what they do best\u2026 because of you.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video about it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What is Patreon and How Does it Work?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rwvUjAv6pxg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you heard of Patreon?
