Membership platform for creators

Patreon is a membership platform that provides business tools for content creators to run a subscription service.

It helps creators and artists earn a monthly income by providing rewards and perks to their subscribers.

Patreon charges a commission of 5% to 12% of the creators’ monthly income, in addition to payment processing fees.

Patreon is used by YouTube videographers, webcomic artists, writers, podcasters, musicians, adult content creators and other categories of creators who post regularly online.

It allows artists to receive funding directly from their fans, or patrons, on a recurring basis or per work of art.

These content creators set up a page on the Patreon website where patrons can choose to pay a fixed amount to a creator on a monthly basis.
