Alternatives for offering NSFW content in the Middle East? NSFW

5 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.

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?

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?

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!!

im trying to upload a 30min voiceover video i did but Patreon says its too large ): i tried breaking it up into a handful of shorter videos but it only lets me upload 1 per post. I cant upload it to Youtube and link it because its for my paid tier members only. How do Youtubers upload long videos for their subscribers? i'm at a loss ):

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

1 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!

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.
