So paid for this guy's membership, and I didn't notice that something else ALSO took money from my account (unrelated to the creator I'm talking about) so I had to ask for a refund, and now I feel terrible about it, he accepted it thankfully, but I feel like an ass for refunding!

I want to share my success story from my first 3 weeks on Patreon. I launched my Patreon "The Australian Investor" just 22 days ago and the growth has completely blown me away! Reaching 154 members in that short time and I would like to share my experience so that you too can learn from my strategy.

My goal was to create a truly high value resource for Investors Worldwide, with a heavy focus on both the US Stock Market, as well as the Australian Stock Market. Every single day, I spend countless hours in the trenches researching market data, analysing company financials, compiling institutional-grade reports. I knew that if I put in the work, the right people would find it valuable.

The feedback has been the most rewarding part. The analysis I've provided has helped members identify new opportunities and gain a deeper understanding of the assets in their portfolios. The community is growing exponentially each and everyday.

My strategy was simple:

Deliver Overwhelming Value: I focus on producing the absolute best analysis I can. My subscribers aren't just paying for tips, they're paying for my niche skills that I learnt from many years of experience in the market as well as my accountant expertise + tedious time consuming research that helps them make more informed decisions.

Offer Direct, Personalised Insight: My highest tier, "PRO PLUS+" even includes personalised stock reports, where I do a deep dive on a company of a member's choice. This level of service is what truly sets the page apart.

Build a Smart Community: Create a space where people who are serious about investing can connect and discuss ideas.

I'm posting this as a bit of motivation for anyone else looking to launch a high-value, expertise based Patreon. If you put in the effort and genuinely help your members, you can build something special!

The Australian Investor

Happy to answer any questions in the comments!

I’m at a loss, I do not have an account and have tried to search through all my settings, I have no idea what this message is talking about. I’ve shut down my phone and restarted it, tried to do it through the app with the same message.

I don’t have Facebook and don’t use google for my accounts. I like to keep it all through my appleID. If I can’t figure it out I guess I won’t get to use Patreon which is a bummer. Can anyone please advise me on what I’m supposed to do? Thank you for your time and help.

All the tier names are listed, and the roles of what I can assign and change are listed as well. But no matter what I do, the "Update" is grayed out and never clickable.

I've been posting pretty regularly to my Patreon since I started three years ago but only recently has it reached the point where I can consistently make new patrons to outgrow any I lose by the end of a month. I know a lot of people's growth is different as people come and go frequently and people post consistently at different rates, but I'm curious to hear who tends to see the most uptick of new patrons for any given month and why.

Hey there I’m a Patreon user and was wondering if anyone else is having a problem where collections are only loading 10 videos at a time instead of the whole play list ? I’ve seen one other person on here saying they have the same problem so I’m wondering if this is just a bug on patrons end or if anyone knows a fix ?

Hey everyone, I’m a YouTuber getting ready to launch my Patreon soon and wanted to ask what’s the best way to handle payouts and finances?

I'm not based in the US, and I know Patreon pays out in USD, so I want to make sure I’m not losing a ton to fees or running into issues with connecting a non-US account. Should I be using a personal account, or is it better to go the business route from the start?

Also, are there certain banks or account types that work better for creators on platforms like Patreon, YouTube, or even Ko-fi? I’ve seen some people say PayPal can be tricky.

Would love to hear how you’ve set up your finances, especially if you’re also outside the US or dealing with multiple income sources.

Thanks in advance!

I accidentally found this article in the support center when I was looking for information on another topic. https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/34582075437069-Know-your-customer-KYC-FAQ

Has anyone encountered this check yet? Do they require ID/face photo or text is enough?

Hi, I'm a Patreon user and had a question about if there's a way I can edit Collections settings. Whenever I click on a collection from any creator, I can only see the ten latest posts, which... sort of defeats the purpose of having collections? Is this a stupid new Patreon update or a glitch? Is there a way for me to change it in settings?

Appears they've did some sort of an update. Have other experience this problem?

I can start a new post with the text first, followed by uploading images and hit publish with no problems.

But if I start a new post by first uploading images I can't type in any text. The text box isn't even there. If I try to edit an old post, there's no text box to edit there either. I don't want to have to delete an entire post and start again from scratch every time I need to edit something.

Hey guys!

I'm working on a review for a game called Corpse Party, and, considering that youtube has a very strict content filter, I had the idea to upload an uncensored version to my Patreon page.

Now the issue here is that the game doesn't contain a lot of sexual NSFW content, but it does contain a hell of a lot of gore, and it's really not filtered in any way.

(I would like to mention, that the gore is not glorified in any way, and the one character who does glorify it meets a very... Fitting end for them.)

TWs for the game include extremely bloody gore, suicide, severe mental issues, deranged, psychotic murderers, etc.
It's a Japanese RPG Maker horror game, by the way.

Most of the CGs in the game include really detailed, but still Anime Style images of the... Results of staying in the cursed school the game features.
These include somewhat graphic depictions of suicide (it isn't really suicide, but that's a long story), dead bodies and the lot.

Now I read the community guidelines, and it does mention that depicting the above mentioned self-harm and other harmful subjects as glorified is strictly prohibited.
I know Patreon is a bit more lenient, when it comes to NSFW content, so I'm on the fence about whether or not it can be posted on the site.

Thank you in advance!

Having trouble downloading some .blend files from a creator I've just subscribed to, when I click the link to download it opens a new window saying 'This site can't be reached'. I've tried on the app and on my laptop but hit with the same problem. Reset my router and made sure that I have no extensions that couldn't be messing with the process but nothing seems to be working.

Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix?

Specifically These things. If not, It's Fine. I don't have to Link them, but I was thinking it might be Beneficial to do so.

Not sure if this is just me or something others are facing, but my Patreon payouts have been a mess lately. I’m not based in the US, and every time a payout is supposed to land, I either get a delay or it just fails entirely.

Support keeps saying it’s on the receiving bank or payment service, but I’ve tried a few already. Local banks, Payoneer, Wise... nothing seems to work reliably. One month it’s fine, the next month it’s rejected with no explanation.

It’s really messing with my cash flow. I’ve had to pause upgrades and explain to patrons why their rewards were late. Has anyone found a setup that actually works consistently for Patreon payouts?

I started my Patreon over a year ago, had basically one patron and never posted because I didn’t think people would join.

Had a reckoning with myself that people won’t join if I don’t put work into it, so I decided to try going full steam ahead. It’s been about a month of me actually posting things (I’m an art page) and I got 7 patrons this past 30 days! About half paid, half free. But I’m overjoyed and over the moon that people are coming and it’s starting to become something!!

It’s really inspired me to create more and I find myself coming out of a creative rut now that I have a place to look forward to sharing my work. I can make and post art on Patreon that I wouldn’t post on insta because I’d be worried about not matching my page’s look and my business image. I have 14k on insta so I definitely feel pressure to create a curated look.

So this is just me feeling excited about reaching my first small milestone. I have a lot to learn still and I’m still developing my style on Patreon, but I’m really happy! My goal for all of 2026 is to get 100 patrons and I really think I can do it!!

Sketchbook page for extra points

Just recently I've noticed quite a few formatting errors have appeared on many of my text posts. Images that used to be inbetween text are now placed at the bottom, huge spaces have appeared between titles and body text. This is happening to posts that have already been published, which is quite frustrating.

I'm seeing a pop up notification from Patreon saying that "We've updated image formatting" and that "all images will now be on their own lines" however this shouldn't affect things like titles, line spaces and images that are already on their own lines.

Has anyone else experienced this or have had any luck with Patreon customer service? Thanks

Hey guys, I started my patreon 3 months ago focusing on sims 4 primarily bimbos. The last month has been a rollercoster. I make around 4 sims a week with 3 being exclusive and one being free. I post on loverslab, twiiter, blusky, devianart, reddit, tumblr & pinterest. I've tried upgrading my graphics for the page, posters i use to promote my sims & packaging sims better with their own previews. My tiers are 1$ - 2 sims a month , 5$ - all sims for the month, 9.5$ - all sims and an exclusive one made per their instructions. Is my content/style not interesting enough or what am I doing wrong?

I’ve been using Patreon for YEARS. I have never had so many issues with an app that Patreon. Like for instance, I have been ATTEMPTING to listen to some older episodes of a podcast group I follow. Literally they have hundreds upon hundreds of podcasts and videos and extra content. Tell me why it only lets me see like 10 episodes?? In EVERY file they have. Out of about a dozen separate folders, which contain anywhere from around 60 to 300 episodes, it only shows me about 10 and refreshing doesn’t work. Deleting the app doesn’t work. Updating the app doesn’t work. What will work??? I have this issue so often I seriously want to cancel my subscriptions because this app always gives me trouble. I would love to find out if anybody has issues with the app like I do? I can’t even get out of the app without it being faulty. Every time I listen to ONE episode of ANYTHING and I turn my phone off to just use the audio, I have to close the app completely before I can access my subscriptions again. I can go to the pages but it doesn’t update anything and only shows me about 3-4 posts.

This error pops up, when I try to connect my Patreon with another website. I also checked and all my previous connect websites now show an error in the Patreon settings "invalid token" - different ones as well. I have had this Patreon account for years, and I regularly get E-Mails from Patreon to that address too. So I don't understand why it is suddenly an unverified E-Mail address...

I also tried to change my e-mail address in the settings of Patreon to maybe trigger a new verification for the new address, but that also doesn't work. I am not getting a verification E-Mail for the new address.

As in the title.

So pay in full today 28 August.
Pay in full again on 13th September (if I dont cancel).

This keeps happening. I’ve gotten messages from my members saying they got refunds for the second month in a row and I can’t figure out what’s going on.

How is Patreon so good at delivering ALL the things we never asked for, slowing down workflow, and generally buggering things up?

I now have to upload the header photo twice on a text piece, if I want it to show in the preview.

When I went to add my post to collections, I was only offered a choice of four out of my ten collections, and I have as yet to figure out how to add the post to the collection I want to put it in.

There is now no scroll bar for the text in the text editor. You have to use the arrow keys on your keyboard.

The pop-ups offering me suggestions for upselling and hooking people are ever more intrusive.

The controls I could find last week are all in new places which are really no more convenient that the old places, just different, and requiring more steps.

I don't mind change when it achieves something useful. This is not it.

I've been working on a blog for sometime now and I finally have it up and running. I created a patreon to go along with it, because initially I was just going to post all my content there and just have maybe half of it behind the pay wall. But, I decided to buy a domain and start posting there instead. Now I have Patreon as my "no-ads" idea meaning it will at the very least pay for upkeep of the blog.

Since I'm just kinda of getting started I made a simple $1 support tier that will going toward paying for hosting and other website related costs. I've been trying to think of what I could offer people as a thank you, and I've made of list things I plan to offer for other tiers as I compile for content but I'm stuck.

I'm wondering if a creator fund type tier is not the best idea. I don't want people to think they're giving something for nothing. Anyone else have experience with this. Suggestions, insight and constructive feedback are welcome.

Edi: Took your guys' advice and created a $4 tier! Wish me luck!

I know that other patreon users can't see my subscriptions, but can a creator I'm subscribed to see my additional subscriptions to other creators? If so, is there a way to make that completely private?

Ok is there a way to blur the thumbnails to non paying members? I make a mix of sfw and nsfw content and well im sure the thumbs used to be blurred now however when I look what ot looks like to free members they can see all my thumbnails I want to keep them blurry for none paying members ???
