I learned so much from you when you first launched your Patreon that I took tips....okay I staright out stole your strategy and now I have seven Patrons. I'm so grateful to them everyday and I have you to thank. You're wonderful

[@wwaabb]

Hello . I am a graduate student doing research into programs like Patreon. I would be extremely grateful if you could answer a few brief questions. Thank you so much. 1. How did you hear about Patreon? 2. What do you do for a living? 3. What do you create on the Patreon? 4. Do you use any other platforms (now or previously)? 5. What do you like about it? 6. What do you dislike / or what other tools do you wish it offered? 7. How much do you make on Patreon vs. how much do you make on other platforms (e.g. Estsy) ? 8. How much do you make elsewhere (e.g. an arts fair, freelancing, advertising or selling products yourself etc.)? 9. How likely are you to keep using Patreon in the future? How and why? 9. Any other comments? facebook.com/wesley.arnold.104 [e-mail]

@@EmilyHarveyArt I must say youuuu have very clear beautiful skin. It looks flawless with the light setting against you.

[@Nicole-Leigh]

I was so nervous to create a Patreon...until this video!! Thank you for your positivity. It launched today!!! 💕

[@MikeB-sp6gp]

OK. I confess. My first thought was, "Who is this girl who likes to talk a lot?" But it turns out that you're really inspiring. And you somehow manage to make small, practical advice inspiring. Which is a real gift. Emily, Thank you.

[@esthersherrow257]

You are adorable! I was in tears when you spoke of celebrating your 7 followers as though they are 700. So beautiful. So generous. Thank you!!

[@HanmadeDesigns]

Launched mine a few weeks ago, it’s such an incredible unique platform, it’s all warm and fuzzy 🥰 thanks for this awesome vid!

[@Token4NaijaTV]

Hey Am about to launch mine, would love to connect

[@OhhJemma]

I've lost count of how many times I've seen this video (and most of your other ones to be honest 🙈), but I'm watching again after launching my own Patreon 🥺😍 I can't believe it!

[@jsbadger]

I've never seen one of your videos before, don't know you and was clicking on things shout starting a Patreon. It's 2 years after you posted this and I just have to say... you have a new subscriber. Bless you! I believe I will binge watch your art/vids this Sunday.

[@CAZWELLNYC1984]

This is the 4th video i've watched about starting a Patreon. I must say i enjoyed yours the most cuz youre so pleasant and its refreshing to see you have such a relaxed attitude. Thank you!

[@marcyamaguchi6687]

Emily - this was an absolute delight. I've got an illustrated short story (manuscript) that I'm eager to self-publish this summer and shopping around for the least labor/ emotion intensive method. Who wants to spoil the fun of the creative process with the guilt of failing to meet their community's expectations? Your perspective has been very helpful as I begin my journey.

[@behrs_necessities]

Thank you. I have thought about launching for a year or more, but only recently discovered how passionate I am about sharing the music and the muse of my soul. Your video has helped me feel more confident to proceed. Thank you. I'm becoming your patron right now... before this video is even halfway complete. Blessings & Beauty

[@qtmama71]

Thank you for sharing this information. Not only was it helpful, but it eased my mind about how I felt toward people I had been following on KZbin, who stopped making content completely when they started pushing their Patreon.

[@KamuanyaDesigns]

Rewatching this now that I'm days away from launching mine! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! 😆

[@sarahritt.creates]

Thank you for having such warm, beautiful, welcoming energy! This video is really helpful to me as I learn more about the artist experience on Patreon. ..and the further in I get, the more I love your natural enthusiasm and love for other creators! The advise your offer is excellent (also intuitively excellent), and even more so, your wise, glowing authenticity.

[@keiththompson8484]

Thank you so much for this video! Our Patreon is launching today and I was scrambling to make sure I didn’t miss anything. This helped immensely, honestly thank you for sharing so openly 🖤🖤🖤

[@samanthachappo7343]

Really helpful for those who don't know what they're doing, thank you

[@FraserAtSea]

3 years on, this video’s still really useful - I launched my Patreon last night, so thanks very much for your tips and advice in this video!

[@isabellefifi3061]

I like the way you think, you’re positivity and gratitude. That’s how we all should be. Thankyou for the great advice. Good luck to you in your endeavours. 👍🏻

[@JimRedland]

Emily you’ve got such a sweet nature and friendly manner. If people had a approach like yours the World would be a better place! Thank you....

Wesley Blixt Maybe, join her Patreon to have access to her time in exchange.....all the best. Sounds like an intresting dissertation/research topic.❤️

[@koticmak]

Thank you for this video! I’m from Russia and here are not so many people who could explain how to run patreon in a simple way! You are so sunny, so cozy person ✨😍

[@crystalshine6172]

Genuinely so helpful- thank you!!

[@geodesystem]

This was so much more useful than the video Patreon itself had, honestly. Thank you so much. You've actually even given me ideas for other things to do along with my writing, specifically ideas for videos. This was a good reminder to my mile-a-minute brain that things take time. And that's okay. Thank you again, so much.

[@somebodyelsa]

this was actually very valuable! Thank you so much Emily! I believe I joined your patreon on the first day because your build up made me so happy to help you

[@raginifromthirdculturecook6994]

Thank you so much for this - I'm just planning mine before launching it, and this was so so helpful. Much love!

[@andacondanation1933]

Thanks!!! This video being such a personal experience and having so much pride and joy in the entire process makes me feel better about trying to start

[@patrececoblentz]

This was incredibly helpful! Honest, forthright, and you are a doll for sharing! Thank you so much!

[@ssaunders2102]

Wow, thank you so much. This was clear and very concise.

[@lilliinwonderland9877]

Your video was so useful! Thank you for all those tips and tricks. I've been putting off starting my page forever because I'm scared. I love that you explained everything and said reminders to set realistic goals and such. That helped me put things into perspective. Thank you so much for the time you put into this video, it's really appreciated :)

[@lu_mk]

this is just the best video about patreon, thank you so much!

[@BwGr63]

Thanks for the upbeat video, in the planning stage now!

[@PennyTrevlopoulou]

Hi Emily! I've found your channel just yesterday and I've been binge watching ever since. I just wanted to say a huuuuge thank you. I've just moved to the UK and I'm trying to set up my own illustration business. Your videos have been very very helpful. And your energy just keeps me so excited! Again, thank you !

[@metaltsigga]

love the well grounded and genuinely grateful attitude! Thank you for teaching me that!

[@Rosannamakes]

Gosh I appreciate this video, Emily - you are so sincere and sweet and humble and this is by far the most helpful and encouraging video I've watched about starting a Patreon. Thanks so much for sharing this and for being you!

[@superlunary2015]

Omg I love your energy! It’s so sweet and welcoming and wholesome. I was smiling the whole video. Congratulations on your amazing success! And thank you so much for sharing your experience and the helpful tips! ❤️

[@loralinengel3162]

Wow, this was helpful. Thank you. Now I’ll need to brainstorm

[@danielscottburke]

Your spiritual energy is Amazing!! Thank you for your time and space 💫

[@annabaginova01]

This was amazing! I watched a couple other videos on how to do Patreon and your was by very very far the best with the most valuable information. I especially appreciated your tips on the build-up and setting the goals. Thank you for sharing! Good luck with your Patreon!

[@beatledrama8689]

I hope you are still creating and actively making videos like these because your positivity & vibe is SO lovely and empowering! Just the encouragement my operation needed 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Subbed, naturally

[@valentinadannunzio]

You are great!!! Love your excitement and positivity, thank you for all your tips!!! Really useful! (:

[@handlebarname]

Thank you so much Emily for sharing all these great tips! I'm just starting a new venture. I love what sites such as Patreon are enabling for independent artists. I love your enthusiasm and appreciation. This is right where I'm coming from as well. Much success to you. May you continue having fun and enjoyment in your art and exposure!

[@ItsLizV]

This was super helpful! Patreon was always a "maybe" for me, but it's slowly but surely turning into an "eventually" haha. This video was full of valuable tips! I'll definitely be listening to this again when I do end up starting a page!

[@shirleykathan-sayess5764]

Thank you so much! I have been thinking about this for quite a while and this has been very helpful. ❤️ Shirley

[@camilly4lyfe]

This was great and so helpful. Thanks so much!

[@janiceselbie9411]

Thank you! Your sweet enthusiasm and down-to-earth manner are a pleasure to learn from.

[@tomishalovely-allen6091]

Great video and extremely helpful. I pray you and your family are well.

[@Leviathan0022]

Love ya Doll! I am in the process of finalizing my business plan. Your video was very insightful. The advice on a pausing an individual’s launch and adding a BBS or discord server was useful. I loved your authenticity especially your apprehensions and discovering your limitations.

[@chrisegnoto]

What a great video, THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was very insightful and helps a lot!

[@majestic_goddess1]

I love your positive energy thank you so much

[@gigichongart7687]

[@xprinceorcax]

Thank you so much for these helpful tips and insight! You're very knowledgeable about Patreon. I'm thinking of starting one myself and you gave some excellent advice I didn't even think of! :)

[@djmichelle9986]

Thank you Emily, extremely useful!! X

[@MrInterestingthings]

Thankyou ! I so needed this and your screen personality is so great . You really make sense of all this ! On the Thankyou website I couldn't figure out how to show my work . Now I understand better what's needed and required .

[@RoboVogue98]

Thank you so much!! This is so helpful!!

[@Bychrissavage]

Thats great advice! Im prepping to launch my patreon and your description made simple and clear sense

[@Mombierella]

Thank you ♥️ this is so encouraging to see. I have been hesitant to set up my patron. I am so glad you mentioned to build up for the launch too. Never would have thought about it.

[@kyleraftery3268]

Thanks! Great video, I’m about to launch and realised I haven’t done any build up. Really glad I watched this.

[@airah28]

Thank you so much!! This is very helpful!

[@drawntodaydreams]

[@kevinwilliams8470]

What a wonderfully positive video, full of great information and tips. I'm helping my friend to start her Patreon so I'll definitley be using your video as a go to reference manual! All the very best.

[@lastfirst5689]

Your knowledge has given me confidence. Thanks

[@saralaczynski323]

That was so incredibly helpful and informative! Thank you so much! Xx

[@nitinveturkar2801]

Thanks Emily! This very helpful!!

[@orglancs]

Thank you for this, Emily. You have given me a much better idea of how Patreon works than all the fast-moving how-to videos that I have tried. It actually encouraged me rather than put me off. And you speak an English that I can understand, too, which is just lovely, after I have wrestled with US accents through so many other videos on the topic. Your accent makes me think we don't live a million miles from each other!

[@magma9138]

This was VERY HELPFUL! Thank you so kindly.

[@TheCraftyCailleach]

Thank you so much for sharing your exp! love your energy and ideas

[@EmilyKariya]

Really useful, thank you! I will be watching again and taking notes. Thank you so much xxx p.s. glad you seem to be feeling better, I was worried about you in your last video ❤

[@chrisyang7411]

Thanks for creating this video. It was very informative. The presentation was clear, and love the way you made it fun. Wish you success this coming year, and stay safe.
