As you can tell from my ads, placed on the right side of my many pages (The Michael Hopkins Cartoons Blog, Cosmic Fowl, Missed Approach and The Michael Hopkins Caricatures Online Store), I have reopened my Patreon Account. What is Patreon? Well, let's ask Wikipedia…
Patreon is a monetization platform operated by Patreon, Inc., that provides business tools for content creators to run a subscription service and sell digital products. It helps creators and artists earn a recurring income by providing rewards and perks to its subscribers…
I've tried selling ads to earn income from my art on both Google Ads and Facebook. Unfortunately, I have recently run into roadblocks, with each. So in another attempt to earn additional income from my drawings, I have decided to take things into my own hands and go directly to the people who enjoy my work (and would like to see me create more of it). In order for me to create more art, I need more time to create, which is the goal of my Patreon. By earning additional income from my art, I can reduce my time punching a timeclock and increase my time spent on creating art.
If Patreon works, how will I spend that increased creative time? Besides increasing my Caricature, Blog and Webcomic output, I am also going to activate, a very inactive YouTube Channel. I also have plans to hit the road next year and visit several Airshows across the country, to sell and market my Aviation Caricatures to Aviation Geeks (like myself) who gather at these airshows to geek out with each other about airplanes!
But that's not all!...Although I'm asking you to support my art through Patreon, I thought it would be only fair to reciprocate and to give out some cool gifts to those who subscribe! Not only free gifts, if you subscribe to my Patreon, you will also receive access to my Patreon exclusive stuff. Some examples include, live streams of my events, Patreon exclusive discounts of my art and other stuff!
So if you’re interested, please hop on over to my Patreon account and check it out!
Talk to you soon!
Michael
