Ahh, technically it would be off topic (on my own topic
), but I'll share my Patreon plan later when I've got a few more of the details in order.

I hope to launch a Patreon in March, and so in the meantime am researching successful channels (and also finding a handful to support myself to spread the love around). Do any of you support any creators on Patreon? Do you know anyone personally who has a Patreon? Do you have any Patreon channels that you particularly like, or think they have good content/rewards? |

No clue at all, sorry. However, I look forward to learning from your experience! Still trying to find the right venue for the TDW series, when it's ready to be sold. |

What is a Patreon? (I know - I should just google it...) |

Patreon is a site where fans can sponsor a creator for a monthly donation. It's a bit like Kickstarter--in that, there is exclusive content only for sponsors, and there's usually different levels ($1, $5, $50, etc.)--only monthly, instead of a one-time fundraising goal. The idea is to give creators semi-regular income so that they can devote more time to their art. The benefit to the sponsors is that they get exclusive content. A lot of creators will do private Q&As, Patreon-only releases, etc. It's based on the historical concept of "patrons of the arts," where wealthy people would fund artists. Hence the name. It's a neat concept, and a lot of creators are very successful at it. But, like everything, you have to offer a good balance of value and exclusivity to make it worth people's time and money. |

Ah, ok. I have a friend who, several years ago, quit her job and then ran a kickstarter to support her as she wrote her trilogy. She got enough funding to do the first of the three, which she self-published, and then she had to get a job again. She should have tried something like Patreon instead. |
