Patreon is a membership platform that helps artists and creators earn a sustainable income by connecting them directly with their fans. Creators can set up different membership tiers offering exclusive content in exchange for a monthly subscription fee, providing them with a reliable income stream. Unlike traditional revenue sources, Patreon takes a percentage of creators' earnings, aligning its success with that of its users. The goal is to give independent creators financial stability and a closer connection to their audience.
