What Patreon is
At its core, Patreon is a membership platform. Supporters (called patrons) pledge money—usually monthly or per piece of content—to a creator in exchange for perks, access, or simply to help them keep creating.
How it works for creators
- Create a Patreon pageA creator sets up a profile explaining what they make and why support matters.
- Set membership tiersCreators usually offer different levels of support (for example, $3, $5, $10 per month). Each tier can include benefits such as:
Early access to content
Exclusive posts, videos, or stories
Behind-the-scenes updates
Members-only livestreams or chats
Physical rewards (less common now)
- Publish content on PatreonCreators post updates, media, or messages directly to patrons. Some posts can be public, while others are locked to certain tiers.
- Get paidPatreon collects payments from patrons and pays the creator (after fees) on a regular schedule.

More stable income than ads or one-time donations
Direct connection with their audience
Freedom to create niche or experimental content
Less reliance on algorithms from social media or video platforms
Why supporters use Patreon
To help creators continue their work
To get exclusive or early content
To feel more connected to the creative process
In short, Patreon is a way for fans to directly fund the creators they care about, while creators get a more predictable and independent income stream.
