I'm the head of Creator Partnerships at Patreon. This video is excellent and makes a ton of great points about how to go about building a successful membership. The "story" you're referring to is what we like to think of as "The Why" for a launch, and that's probably the most important early driver of patronage, with the offering being a very very close 2nd (and the biggest long-term driver).
Agreed, more people need to see this. Hopefully everybody watches the entire video, because that holds infinitely more weight in the algorithm than comments
Devin, just wanted to tell you that your content has made a massive impact on my life bro. I know you're on hiatus from twitch but I really do appreciate your insights because you have a way of capturing some fairly complex and difficult to grasp concepts and putting them into a model that we can utilize.
Loved the video, understanding Patreon and the different ways to approach it makes more sense now. Here are my personal notes/summary of the video - A ways to upsell whatever you are doing - Include your audience so they enable you to do somethign special - no monthly cost to uphold, they only take 8%-12% of the revenue - tell a story with the introduction/about section - higher goals & tiers should allow you to do more than your usual content - Always include the reward of previous tiers in higher tiers 5 different patreon tier examples the higher the tier, the more access your supporters get to you/your business 1) Exclusive knowledge, behind the scenes footage, deleted material - stuff like that, cheap tier 2) Q&A, hangout sessions, personal call/talk - most expensive tier 3) Putting your name on something, shoutouts, name in credits of a video - acknowledgment, mid tier 4) Digital bonuses like CDs or downloads sent to their email 5) Things you can deliver physically like books, items, whatever you create irl 26:38 the key takeaway let me know what else you learned from the video so I can include it in the comment, might save people time when they don't have 30 min to watch the entire video
I decided to start a patreon and to tweak some things based on this talk. Really excited to see how it does. I already have a UA-cam gaming channel and live stream. The patreon is to kick off a lofi gaming cover channel. Wish me luck!
As someone who is just starting to dabble in content creation and figuring out what my impact could potentially be, Devin Nash is an incredible resource to use. He understands the step by step process people need to follow to not only be successful, but how to better themselves and their content in general. For instance him telling people to think about their "stories" and how is their content worth putting out there. This makes people self reflect on how to better themselves rather mindlessly grinding all the time.
Another great and massively informative video and just as I needed it. I love being able to share these and other great resources with other members of the Vtuber and creator community especially new people with so many questions.
Super useful stuff! I'm always blown away by how valuable Devin's content is. I'd hop onto his Patreon in an instant if he made one. Focusing on creating value is such a great takeaway that constantly comes up, and I get so much value out of these talks. A big thank you to Devin and best wishes 🙏
Seeing the difference types of support was really eye opening! I just launched mine today and this video really got my creative wheels turning. Thanks for this! Its amazing the things people have been able to create with this ^^
I don’t know if you know this, but your videos and streams are more than educational. They’re inspirational. You make becoming a successful content creator seem so tangible (if they put in the work) and it honestly motivates people to strive for their dreams. I hope you realize the effect you have on people like me and countless other aspiring streamers/content creators. No one else does what you do, thank you Devin
I’m really glad you touched on this, I was a bit clueless on how I should go about setting up my patreon. Thank for all you do, you’re a critical avenue for those who want to pursue a business career in the digital space.
9:30 it is also a question of the size and framing. The big guys have quite a bit of content behind them, so Patreon can be viewed as the support + appreciation for the post content. Here details and a complete narrative are important. But is the same true for smaller folks? Or should you hit more of an elevator pitch if you are small?
@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken this is not what I wrote though. Sure, good promotion will help, but a bit too generic. Bigger content creators will have more content and can provide value from materials behind the scenes and other things like that. They can do it, because someone is already engaged with a content. Question I was trying to ask, if you are smaller, are you limited to elevator pitch style of promo (here is what coming kind of thing)? Or is there value doing a longer form for pay?
@@creatingtailedstories, and I'll say it once again, why would you be limited to WHAT is to come? You say what you are DOING, and if you so choose, potential things to come if they make sense. Most of what he said is suggestions and examples. Not exact things you have to do. Just because you can't do behind the scenes doesn't mean you can't do something else that makes it more personal for the viewer. Seems you need to dig deeper if you can't figure that step out. It should be a rather simple one. Like he said, you need to know WHAT you have to offer, otherwise you have bigger issues. Seems you're in that category right now.
This was pretty useful. I started a Patreon a while ago and that part about "I play games, give me money" was basically exactly what I was doing lol. I'm working towards improving my videos and my output though so I'll use this as a guide. Thanks for the videos
I am coming in a bit late in the game at 51 but I feel that this video has definitely inspired me to utilize Patreon for our Organization. I looked in the links for the notepad of the notes you shared during the video but could not find them. I also have joined your Discord and look forward to gleaning from your wisdom. Thank you for sharing this with us. "A Rising Tide Raises All Ships"
This past month I started teaching myself Blender to create animations and I decided to make a Patreon. In my first month I’ve got 13 Patrons and make 55~ish a month but I don’t have any tiers and instead have it up as a tip jar. Most people in my “niche” have theirs as tip jars as well with no tiers. So I’m wondering if I should do what everyone else does, or implement tiers. I just need to figure out what I’d give for higher tiers.
I just went to search for how to set up fan requests on Patreon (as it isn't obvious whether there's a Patreon utility for it) and this was the first thing at the top of the list. XD Thanks, Devin.
Thanks Devin i've been struggling with my patreon and this puts it back at the forefront of my mind. I have a $5, $25, $5000, and $10,000 tiers, the page definitely needs some more polish but I am confident that I can make this work. It has not been easy finding my artistic path. While I have been in art classes since elementary school, realizing that I could pursue my creative desires has been very difficult. Without completely realizing it I had acquired a variety of artistic skills. I remember when I first realized that I had some skill with drawing in middle school. We had to copy an image that was upside down and in a grid. I really enjoyed that assignment, it showed me how to break an image up into little pieces, the grid is also a useful technique for drawing something larger than the reference you may have. It wasn't until later in high school that I began to take more art classes. Learning how to work with clay, paints, wire, digital art. I was also able to take some college courses while in high school furthering my skills in photography, music, 3D Graphics, image and video editing. While in college I wasn't sure what I my major should be so I worked on general courses towards my degree and included art when I could. The last class I remember was drawing. My favorite part of the class was critique. To have an opportunity for my work to be seen and to receive feedback so that I can improve was invaluable to me and allowed me to learn how to also give feedback in a way that was respectful. After college, art took a back seat in my life I would do odd jobs like working at a motorcycle shop or being a horse carriage driver. I never considered at that time that I could use my creative ability to support myself. It is only in the past few years that I feel like I really have a chance to make something of myself with the skills that I have acquired and now I am working towards that goal with my 1frog9 channel thanks for reading!
There was some kind of fund raiser for a game called bloodstained. My friends cousin who I knew was a big fan of the genre of game (metroidvania) but didn't speak to often, donated a large amount and they had a tier where they would put you in the game somewhere. He forgot about it. And I've played the game several times seeing a PORTRAIT enemy that has someone who looks very similar to him. And one day a whole year and a half after release. I decided to show my friend this enemy. And we asked if it was him and he said it is him!! and they emailed him asking him for a picture before the games release and he had forgotten all about it and he didn't even notice he was in the game himself having played through it. If I ever have an opportunity to support something I care about to that degree. I probably will.
I will try and use this but last time my patreon got shut down because my community was using fraudulent cards to buy my stuff. How can i prevent this? seeing as i cant stop them is there any way to put payments on hold or something until they can verify its legit?
I really needed to hear this. I've been following for some time and working on a project that adds value other than "hey, I'm playing games, pay me!". And the question that I was pondering was "how to get support"? This video gave me lots of info. ALSO: Would you be willing to discuss the topic of market analysis, or, more specifically, a competitive analysis? Either way, thanks for another great video!
Great stuff as always man. I have been taking a bunch of your advice in past videos to heart and really working to build my community as a whole. Thanks for everything you've been doing with/for content creators.
Diversifying how people can supplement their income wrapped in a compelling narrative only helps creators/businesses of all kinds by making more partners and less direct transactions.
Looking for his patreon link in the info to check out he's done it himself but I don't see his 5k+ patreon anywhere. Hard to take what he's saying as serious when I see no proof of him doing it.
right? Gets me every time. It's never linked "down below" or "in the UA-cam" and we know he's not talking about the Twitch VOD, lol Wait....in the UA-cam...IN the UA-cam....IN THE UA-cam. Is it a video overlay link?!!? *goes up and checks*
@@ShaolinPretzels the first time I not only subbed but gifted his channel 5 subs on October 21, 2020 and he was doing the hall of fame on stream for October maybe a week later and I let him know while he was live that I wasn't on there even though I gifted 5 subs the week before and he said, everyone who gifted is on there and dropped it. I was going to send the receipt to prove it but I just ended up just letting it go. I thought maybe it'll count in November since the sub would've been for Oct-November but nope, in either list I'm not there. To add insult to injury, in one of his UA-cam videos, you can even see the alert for when I gifted 5 subs...So maybe it is just his editors, because you're right it does happen, it just sucks when it does...
I wrote it out. Here. Exactly How to Make $5000+ a Month with Patreon | NotePad There is no downside to starting a Patreon - You don't have to be a content creator to do it - 8-12% - no fee Literally everyone can have one - content creators engaging fans - b&m companies engaging clients - retail engaging clients - any business client engagement - Tell a story Two Narratives "Give me money" - Devin Nash ^ very engaged people (already engaged) ^ long term supporters "Devin Nash is creating the #1 industry & gaming business news stream" "Devin Nash is creating high value business and gaming educational content" - I like to offer things for (next to*) free or VERY expensive Initial Tier $1-5 Mid Tier $15-20 GHASTLY HIGH TIER - $100+ -- THE HIGHER THE TIER, THE MORE THE ACCESS - the higher the tier, the closer your supporters get to YOU and your BUSINESS FIVE WAYS TO BREAK OUT TIERS 1. "Deeper and Exclusive Knowledge" Can you bring someone closer to your world, craft, expertise, where they could otherwise not get this? - Exclusive audio/video describing your craft - Sharing behind-the-scenes footage - Deleted or historic material no longer available / hard to get - lore - business history 2. Direct Engagement with Creators (Most Expensive) - Google hangout sessions - Q&As - Direct email correspondence - Direct phone calls 3. Acknowledgement & Contribution (content creators) (mid tier) - putting your name on something, marketing to a person's idea of significance - NFTs / some other kind of limited value / ownership / titling of something of yours - leaderboards - credits - end of streams/videos/things you do - put them on a wall 4. Digital Bonuses -audiobooks, digital CDs, prints, art, specials, anything you can deliver, infoproducts - to a person's email (which has the added benefit of getting their email, now they're on a list) 5. Physical Bonuses - items, books, things mailed to you, THINGS, or anything you can ship/give to customers
The thing is about this and the entire culture behind it, it's all about donations because what...? The real prices of things do not match the value it creates? People are not willing to pay the real value of things? Out entire payment system is fucked? I don't know....but as a German it feels rly awkward to ask for money as bonus payment just for some small extra benefits the customer gets

People like you are like superheroes! I appreciate you fir this comment!❤️
What? Being altruistic? Why do that when you can withhold all the information and rise above the peasants muhaaaaa!!!
Inspiring
Wake up babe, new Devin Nash talk
I just started my Patreon and am so grateful for this help! Thank you for all you do. Lots of value. Gotta go rebuild my Patreon now hahaha
Devin, just wanted to tell you that your content has made a massive impact on my life bro. I know you're on hiatus from twitch but I really do appreciate your insights because you have a way of capturing some fairly complex and difficult to grasp concepts and putting them into a model that we can utilize.
Damn Pumped this one out quick appreciate it, editors and Devin
:) thanks
This thumbnail is really good! Hats off to anyone involved in helping to make it
Had to leave stream before the talk. Glad you uploaded this, cheers.
Loved the video, understanding Patreon and the different ways to approach it makes more sense now. Here are my personal notes/summary of the video
- A ways to upsell whatever you are doing
- Include your audience so they enable you to do somethign special
- no monthly cost to uphold, they only take 8%-12% of the revenue
- tell a story with the introduction/about section
- higher goals & tiers should allow you to do more than your usual content
- Always include the reward of previous tiers in higher tiers
5 different patreon tier examples
the higher the tier, the more access your supporters get to you/your business
1) Exclusive knowledge, behind the scenes footage, deleted material - stuff like that, cheap tier
2) Q&A, hangout sessions, personal call/talk - most expensive tier
3) Putting your name on something, shoutouts, name in credits of a video - acknowledgment, mid tier
4) Digital bonuses like CDs or downloads sent to their email
5) Things you can deliver physically like books, items, whatever you create irl
26:38 the key takeaway

Been looking forward to this video! Thanks !
Great tips! 🔥🔥
Thank you for this Devin! This is one of the best videos I've seen about this topic.
Most underrated channel on youtube. Really shows you that views does NOT equate quality/value
Always a good day when Devin Nash uploads 😎
This is my favorite configuration of data on the series of tubes that is the net. Devin is the best.
You’re so underrated I literally tell everyone about you Devin you’ve changed my life
Congrats on 100k Devin!! I just started my patreon thanks to you!!
Really enjoy these long talks, well done Devin!
Dang, that was FAST! I just watched the stream yesterday. Go Team Nash! 💪🏻
Excellent video very detailed and insightful.
Nice to see this got uploaded this fast!
Always a good day when you can listen to Devin while driving
watched it live, great stuff!
Gets me every time 11:02 "It will be linked in the UA-cam" I must be blind...guess we're typing it out manually!

Place some teirs. Based on what your projects turn out.. Now that you've started u.ll have exclusive content. Start a storyboard of creating (~_*)
How would you market it? Mention it at the start or end of videos and on streams? Or what
Am I wrong or is there no link yet?
when does philip defranco show up
Do you pump your volume before posting on UA-cam? Your volume is very low on this video.

Your point about story makes a lot of sense, still a great video in 2024

All your content is worth watching but this is a super valuable talk!
You should be selling this video lol!
Thanks so much!
Yes
Hey Devin, I think you mentioned you would share a link to a document in the description. Could you link that please?
"Well dickhead, why are you making content then" Brilliant. I think this so much with 80% of the shit on UA-cam 😂
Fantastic content, the bar to entry for patreon is so low it's a no-brainer
The Command Zone/Game Knights MTG crew do Patreon and Kickstarter really well
Would you say the costs are different for content creaters with small audiences?
Banger
Was watching the VOD then got the noti never clicked so fast 😂
I cant believe the views are so low for this vid. Friggin gold here
Words to make the UA-cam robot happy
Not sure if I missed it in the description but, can we get the link to the doc please?
I am writing/producing/stage directing a show and wondered if to make the Patreon in my name or the show’s…. 🤔

The more Devins hair is rearranged, the more value you will get from the video :P
