Patreon is a global monetization platform and membership service that enables content creators, such as musicians, podcasters, and videographers, to earn recurring income directly from their fans. Founded in 2013, the platform allows creators to set up customizable subscription tiers where supporters, known as patrons, pay a monthly or per-creation fee in exchange for exclusive content, early access, and direct community engagement. Patreon’s business model focuses on providing the infrastructure for audience ownership and financial stability, bypassing traditional ad-based revenue by taking a commission of 5% to 12% on creator earnings alongside payment processing fees.
