Today’s Guest
I'm back again, with another solo episode! I’m so excited about this week’s show, which is all about Patreon and how YOU can use it to create a new income stream in your business. I’ve known about Patreon for almost two years now, and you may be surprised to hear that I actually set up a Patreon page way back in October 2016. Or you may be super confused about all this because you’ve never actually heard of Patreon.
Whether you’ve been supporting creators and business owners on Patreon for years, or whether you’ve just heard of it now, I highly recommend you listen to this episode. It’s a long one, because I go so in depth into all the research I did on Patreon before revamping my own page. This will help save you hours of research that I did myself.
I also walk you through my own Patreon page, so you can see exactly how I set mine up, and compare that to how you’d like to set up your own account on Patreon. Like I said, I’m super excited about building my community on Patreon, and if you’ve ever gotten value from this podcast, or my Facebook group, or my videos and books, I’d like to invite you to join me there. The tiers start at just $1 a month, and you can jump in and out at any time.
