Today we are launching new functions, a completely redesigned mobile app and a developed brand identity that brings us closer to a future in which makers are in control and thrive the right community.
Patreon started a goal ten years ago: few makers paid.
It was a time when someone was a click from sharing their biggest work on the internet, but very few people could really make money from it.With their greatest fans.
Our next chapter is about giving makers even more.
Today we are introducing a re -conceived Patreon with community chats, trade, a completely redesigned mobile app and a new brand identity.

2. Makers must have control over their business
Between advertisem*nt income, brand partnerships and platform funds, makers have more ways than ever to be paid, but most of these income flows do not come directly from fans.
We believe that the best way to build a sustainable future for makers is to give them the direct line to the people who love their work.directly from their community.We introduced thisHandelIn July: a new way for makers to sell individual videos, audio and downloadable files to someone, regardless of whether or not they are members.
