Patreon_ A way to get donations for your channel
In this article, I want to introduce you to Patrick on this
site where YouTube creators can build an audience of people who donate to them
and donate from $1 a month to tens of dollars even on rare occasions over $100
a month.
I'll show you the price as if it's free to join but this
site takes some commission from you and you see the commission rates are not
bad and a lot of people are fine with it because this site provides a great
platform for people to build a base of donations and the great thing about
donations is that they aim to be regular .
So a person doesn't just donate $1 any dollars a month so
this next month next month next month at some of the best YouTube creators they
make tens of thousands of dollars here every month and that's their main
income.
The trick is to have a call to action to donate in the
videos and they obviously get a lot of views for the videos and very engaged
subscribers who watch all the time because those are usually the people who
donate.

People don't just donate after watching a video or two and
leaving people donate after getting a lot of regular value from you over time
so real money here is consistently made if you grow your channel over time
here's a look inside the third page on this page showing the number of
beneficiaries each page Her and the beneficiary is a benefactor.
For example, if you have 547 donors, let's say the lowest
they can donate one dollar the highest is 10 maybe on average maybe 20 It just
depends on the channel and we can click on a channel and we can see its membership
levels.
They have six levels so people can donate up to $50 a month.
Let's say the average is five dollars, so it's five dollars.

a look at a lot of people who would like In traveling the world and making
YouTube videos, you can see that some people get more than a thousand

So it's almost a household name not quite but almost so you
won't get a thousand subscribers overnight but you can get some and the trick
is to ask explicitly not too heavy but make it known that you have that
beneficiary on the account you're looking for donors and then your beneficiary
on The account creates membership levels so that people actually get something
Maybe they get some exclusive content Maybe they get mentioned and thank you
for the videos etc.
So something can be obtained if we click on one of them
let's see what we get so let's see this gone with white wind they show you what
you get for each subscription level.
People will receive invitations to meet the creators
wherever they travel, they can meet the creators if the creators travel around
where you live Let's see what you get for two hundred and fifty dollars.
The offer is like one chat session and they are very
thankful so get creative and as long as you provide some value that people can
get it almost never becomes a donation to them it almost becomes a purchase for
people which is actually easier to transfer because the beneficiaries get
something they are more likely to donate that is Its sponsor is very popular
among YouTubers.
