Yesterday, I took our Patreon Page live! You can see it here.
Here’s a peak at the Patreon page, for the click-averse . . . . (Screenshot)
As I indicated in the last post, (We’re Launching a Patreon Page . . . of course) it’s been a rather steep learning curve. We’ll see if it helps us monetize the blog or not.
If all goes according to plan, we will launch a Patreon page for the blog in early March. This will hopefully monetize this blog after nearly 10 years (see The Challenge: Monetize the Blog).
Patreon is a crowdfunding platform that lets enthusiasts of a particular artist (blogger, in this case) contribute regularly to projects and content. Patreon patrons pledge to give a small amount regularly (anywhere from $1 to however much they want) to support an artist or writer and his/her ongoing creativity.
Artists have a couple of options in providing “things,” items of small value sent to patrons for their support. We like this, as we feel like we’re actively offering something for people’s contributions.
Particularly, I like a feature we’re calling A Place at the Table.
