TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

  • [00:25] Today’s Topic: Is Patreon Worth It?
  • [00:33] Patreon is a way to invite people to become monthly patrons and donate money to help you complete your artistic (or other) endeavors.
  • [00:58] This is mostly a podcast and YouTube phenomenon.
  • [01:18] Eric doesn’t think you can make a living using Patreon, so it’s not worth it.
  • [02:22] In general, you can make way more money having a good product or service instead of asking people for money.
  • [02:40] Think of Patreon money as extra or free money, instead of your main source of income.
  • [02:49] That’s it for today!
  • [02:54] To attend our Growth Accelerator Mastermind, go to the Marketing School site for more information and to apply.
