How Authors Can Use Patreon As An Additional Income Stream

[@mical7582]

A few things authors can offer on Patreon are: 1. Short stories or a novella linked to their book series or standalone book. 2. An exclusive prequel 3. Early sneak peeks of future releases 4. 1 member or more could be named in the authors next book 5. An extended epilogue Seanan McGuire is successful on Patreon too.

Aww yay!! Thanks so much Lisa for the shout out!!! 😄❤️ So honored to have my Patreon included as a helpful example! (P.S. is this a subtle hint that you’ll be starting one too?? 😉)

Hey Brittany: So glad you liked the video! Ha - no Patreon for me. It looks awesome but I'm going to stick with creating courses and planners and leave the Patreon world to the membership + community building experts, like you! XOXO Lisa

This was really helpful! I just recently made a Patreon page and I only have 3 patrons so far, but I really want to grow it. I think these suggestions will help a lot -- I definitely haven't been promoting it enough yet, lol. but great video!

[@LisaLatte]

That's awesome - go ahead and share your Patreon link so people can check it out! XOXO Lisa

[@SAVYWRITESBOOKS]

I know social media is huge but I’m soooooo sick of having to focus on THAT.. all the time.. getting fans.. blah blah blah.. but great video.. thank you!!!!

[@LisaLatte]

If it helps, I gave up and DELETED all of my social media accounts (except KZbin) in Aug 2019 and my books sales have actually increased since then. I have more time to write and just be happy that I don't have to post to social. XO Lisa

I made a patreon a month ago and I hope to build my audience soon!!!

[@raynerye212]

I'm so excited about this. Self-publishiing is changing quickly. Been in KU seix years with no income and just sopending on Amazon ads, Will try a different genre in patreon (vampires, perhaps,) and maybe even make a mini yoga course!
