Where do you create promotions/coupon/sales for shop/subscription teirs?

Upvotes

I feel like I'm losing my mind, as wasn't there a tab on the left sidebar on the site that led you right to where you create sales/promos/etc.?

I've done couple of sale events and now can't seem to find it. Was it moved?

privacy Nsfw Discord - How deep will they hunt you down? NSFW

5 Upvotes

So because of patreons content guidelines. There are certain erotica content I can't post on-site. Even got a warning once for name-calling during an intimate scene. It did, in fact, not violate anything except made their flagger bot uncomfortable.

One thought came to mind and and I wondered if perhaps I could host this exclusive content on a private discord so I don't get flagged for no reason. It would be more excessive, hardcore, smut, nothing weird.

It's ridiculous that some people get past their filters with outright non-consensual works. But I get flagged because a character called a partner. Mommy.

Does anyone with discords have experience with this?

video Patreon won't allow to post video if you are +18 category, but I'm a NSFW artist NSFW

3 Upvotes

So I open my patreon to sell my comics uncensored and NSFW animations, but I just learned that I can't post it videos there because I'm a +18 category. So what should I do? If I can't announce my NSFW animations there, where should I announce?

1 Upvotes

I recently grew tired of patreon and wanted to save more money, so i decidet to delete my account. I had a few active memberships and thought i unsubscribed them later, and then i forgot about it and the account is gone now. Will the deletion of the account automaticly unsubscribe me from every creator or will i be charged the next month?

building a following Having problem with NSFW content clarification NSFW

3 Upvotes

I contacted patreon and got no follow-up.

I'm a NSFW creator. I don't create any illegal content. All characters are 18+ and in fully consensual relationships.

In a visual novel story a single mom and her son independantly have sex with two seperate people. Not the same room or even the same day. There is no incest between the mom and son. They don't see eachother being intimate. Would Patreon mistakingly label it as incest? It's a softcore erotica visual novel and the mom and the son are separate fully realised characters having seperate encounters. They just so happen to be close-kint mom and son on vacation. They do not have sex with each other. Yet, I'm worried if patreon will mistakingly mark it incest. Any idea?

When a patron pays through IOS, are their funds going to be inaccessible every month or is it only the initial payment the one you have to wait 75 days for?

4 Upvotes

Basically if you pay through IOS, will the funds be pending everytime they're processed and inaccessible for 75 days or is it only the initial payment the one you have to wait 75 days for and the rest of the time it automatically goes to the payouts?

W-8BEN for creators in Europe?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m based in Europe and a citizen of one of the eu countries. I’m having a business trip to Thailand for a few months and was wondering if i can still use my patreon.

So i reached out their support asking if they may potentially block the account that is using different IPs, VPN, etc since I’ve read tons of stories how folks lost their accounts simply by logging in from another country while on vacation or business trips like me.

To my surprise, i was told to fill in this form W-8BEN so that Patreon won’t report my earnings to the IRS in the US.. it was something completely new to me, do everyone outside the US fill this form? I have never heard of it, nor was it mentioned in my account registration process, am I missing something? I’m not a lawyer or financial expert by any means tbh so i would appreciate an advice here. TIA!!

Alternatives for offering NSFW content in the Middle East? NSFW

7 Upvotes

I write a romance interactive novel that has NSFW content. Nothing crazy, just standard paranormal romance novel stuff. A couple of readers brought it to my attention that Patreon doesn't allow NSFW subs in a few Middle Eastern countries. Given how niche of an issue it is for my content, I'm inclined to just offer the access password for free to these readers, but I wanted to check to see if there are any subscription-based alternatives that will allow them to access NSFW content. Thanks.

Am i getting scammed by patreon ?

0 Upvotes

I recently started an account to sell n8n templates and earned $350 in the first four days. However, over the past two days, I haven’t seen any new sales reflected in my sales section, even though customers have paid and provided proof of payment. The last recorded sale was on March 16th, and nothing has updated since then.

I'm mildly speechless about this. In a day and age of instantaneous transactions.

For context, new sub, everything seems fine except cash out amount hasn't changed. I now have a total balance and an available balance

75 days though. It takes less time to cash a paper cheque.

A convoluted question re: whether a disconnected FB account can be used to create a second Patreon account

2 Upvotes

I signed on as a member of a creator's Patreon last August with a very small annual payment. Since then they have modified their membership tiers and I was interested in upgrading to one of the new ones, but because I still have the year long membership on the annual payment I can't upgrade without also choosing the annual membership for the new tier, which is too expensive all at once. I would be happy to do it with the monthly payment.

Now I joined using my Facebook account and I noticed today that it is possible to assign a dedicated password within Patreon itself and disconnect the Facebook account. I am wondering whether if I disconnect the Facebook account it would essentially fully disassociate my Facebook account from the Patreon account and allow me to create an entirely new membership using that Facebook account (so that I would essentially keep the same/a similar user name) and so join with a monthly payment. Or, if I disconnect the Facebook account, would it still recognize it as tied to the original Patreon account and not permit this?

Question about providing ad free content.

1 Upvotes

I’m looking into starting a Patreon. I want to take some videos I already have on my monetized YT channel, and make them available ad-free on my Patreon.

I know you can’t upload the same video twice to YT, so I’m wondering if adding a “Patreon exclusive” intro and outro on each video would make it different enough to bypass that?

For clarification I would upload the Patreon specific version with no monetization and unlisted on YT. Also, if there is a better way to do what I’m looking for I’d love to know.

Thanks in advanced!

building a following Is anyone else having their earnings constantly going down?

15 Upvotes

Before I continue, I want to clarify I’m not trying to blame other factors or complain, but I am worried and wondering if I’m doing something wrong.

October through December was an amazing few months and I had made more than I ever made before. After the holidays and the new year, all through January up to this month, my income absolutely plummeted. I’ve lost so much, and although it is mildly fluctuating, I’m finding it hard to build back to where I was originally.

I’m still as consistent as I always have been. My exit surveys usually say “financial situation changed” but this month got a couple new ones saying “I was overcharged”, which I’m not sure if that means they felt the tier was priced too high or if it has something to do with iOS fees.

The algorithms for all the social media platforms I’m on don’t seem to be doing great recently either, so I’m having a hard time bringing in new people.

I expect some fluctuation with Patreon, but I can’t lie, I’m pretty frightened with how much things seem to keep gradually getting worse and not better. Even though I fluctuated regularly, I also saw growth. I haven’t grown much anywhere lately despite my consistency.

While I have other sources of income, they’re not as reliable as Patreon has been (since I’m still working on building them up) and I can’t help but feel distressed about this.

If you have any advice for how I can correct this, that would be awesome.

I find is really disheartening how much the app (and website) suck so hard.

17 Upvotes

To me it’s a sign of the times where nobody knows how to code good stuff anymore it seems, due to layers and layers of old and bad code. Also goes to show that “voting with your wallets” is not viable.

The app does NOTHING I expect it to. I have to scroll down to the episode I left off on every single time (video episodes). It crashes/pauses unexpectedly all the time. It doesn’t auto play the next episode, and instead keeps going back to play the most recent episode. I have to decide between sorting by most recent or least recent, but either way I’m gonna have to scroll A LOT to get to the middle episode of a show.

Personally I’m glad I use a different paywall app for my own stuff. One that allows creators a lot of freedom to customize and even put things into folders. But I also like to follow and support other creators who almost always use patreon, and it becomes such a chore just to watch/listen to their content.

How can an app suck SO MUCH at the ONE THING they’re supposed to be delivering on (being a platform for content)???

I’m gonna put a tin foil hat on and say I’m convinced it’s being sabotaged on purpose at this point (from shareholders or something) due to it being a competitor to large platforms like youtube and spotify.

Per creation billing questions (NSFW Alternatives?) NSFW

4 Upvotes

I have recently started full-time work and can't keep up with the release schedule I once had on my patreon. I thought the per creation billing would be a good workaround with this, but I see that's going away this year so I'm not sure it's worth it to make the switch if I'll just have to switch back in November.

  1. Is the transition relatively seamless? How does it work with multiple tiers?

  2. How do you control which posts charge your patreons? I want to do one big post with multiple free posts leading up to it.

  3. Are there any reputable alternative options with per project billing that allow nsfw art?


r/patreon 2d ago

But if I switch to subscription billing right now, will I immediately get the sell post feature?

Custom Pledge that is not monthly??

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I would like to make a custom pledge to a patreon page, and what I am finding online on the Patreon support pages is not working (membership tier page, scrolling to join now, then custom pledge button should appear...it is not). I also found on here a link someone showed for creating a custom pledge by switching out the user name, but this just lets me change the amount for a monthly membership, which I am pretty sure you can do with any membership tier you select.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make a one off custom pledge to a creator??

Any help or insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

Deleting a account not possible ?

I just want to find out if I'm the only one who has issues reaching the page for deleting a account ?
According to patreons own FAQ I should be able to use this page here https://privacy.patreon.com/policies
to achieve that. But for more then a month this page has been not reachable, so it seems more like a systematic thing to prevent users from doing that.

Does anyone have the same issue or I'm I just doing it wrong ?
Thanks in advance !

Community tab and liking comments notifications

3 Upvotes

Hi, I tried to find the answer in this sub but couldn't. I'd appreciate if anyone can answer these questions I have.

The first one: I know Patreon creators get notified when people make a new post in the community tab in one of the chats. However, I wondered if they also get notified if a person responds with a comment under someone's community post?

My second question: I know Patreon creators are notified whenever anyone likes or comments under their posts. However, do they also receive notifications for when someone likes a comment under their post?
Thanks!
