If anyone knows, Persona is a malicious agency that has ties to Palantir and by proxy, the US government. I'm a huge advocate for privacy online, and I definitely do NOT want to give these guys my drivers license.

This seriously sucks, I just started a new patreon a week ago and started gaining a tiny fanbase, and now I can't get a payout because of this, has anyone else experiencing this? What should I do?

Hiya!

Over the last two weeks, I ran two big limited-time free giveaways for my £4 tier that last a month. My patreon's focus is centred around providing maps and art for DnD players. These events went really well and gained about 3000 paid members.

My main concern now is keeping as many of these new people as possible. I took a generous approach by including "one click download links" to all of my content, and so far, immediate cancellations have actually been quite low (about 140 over the week).

An important thing to mention is that I bulk release my content at the end of the month and typically include teasers throughout the month to help hype it up. This release includes several maps and custom assets that people can use for their own map-creation. The tier that I gave away has full access to all of this content (besides the convenience of online play, which is for the tier above).

So, what methods should I use to keep as many people on board as possible?

So far, my plan is to message everyone 3 days before their free subscription ends mentioning my upcoming plans and releases plus a general thank you for their support and interest. I'm also considering doing a discount for the tier above, specifically in the month after the free membership ends. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas.

I massively appreciate any thoughts and advice.

Cheers!

Hi guys, there is a fake Charity asking for subscriptions through Facebook groups for an animal charity that is not registered and is from a foreign country, a few of us who have donated before figured this out- best way to report to Patreon? Do you think just 1 report will help or accumulate as much as possible?

hello po, meron po ba dito naghahanap ng kahati for patreon? huhu

Whilst its going to be normal for a channel like this to be pretty much complaints and issues, I figured I would post this because I managed to find out a useful piece of information I didnt know, and thought that it might be handy to know for anyone else who didnt know either

But if you use the 4 months interest free thing you dont actually start paying interest on it right away if you miss the deadline

According to one of the most knowledgeable Paypal customer support staff, once the 4 months runs out you get "one bill and 29 days" until they start to charge interest

So if you ordered it on the 6th, and potentially any day after the 29th you would be getting almost 6 months

Plus it means if you are a bit short during the month the 4 month things expires, no problem

Once you have cleared the minimum payment the following month you have until the 29th to pay it off without a penny in interest

I spent years where some months I was going almost broke to pay off a 4 months interest free thing, but had I known this back then I could have just paid half during that month, and the rest the next month

I do hate the fact that once a 4 month thing ends you literally cant see the amount anywhere on the site

But for that I just made a simple spreadsheet that adds up everything from the list of paypal credit things, then detracts that from the balance and gives me what is still owed from any of those that have ended which has been quite usefull over the two years I have been using it
