Patreon is the next step for podcasters and vloggers who broadcast quality content
My overall experience with Patreon is a good fit. I really enjoy using their platform for my online projects, as well as for my clients projetcs.
PROSMy favorite feature is the exclusivity of it all. Only paying members have access to your content, which definitely elevates your content to premium levels. The other features I like best about this software the pay schedule and funds transfer, its free to start, rare access to music, and membership fees.
CONSThe only con when some members have to leave due to changes in finances. Since, membership is the only way a Patreon creator can earn income, this directly affects earnings.
Reasons for switching to Patreon
Patreon gave me more creative freedom. This is really important to artists.

Love it!
I have been using Patreon for more than 2 years now and have benefitted with all the features they provide. Ability to setup tiers for patrons is very useful to have and all the videos that we post in YouTube can be first uploaded to Patreon so that our patron feel special.
PROSHaving a YouTube channel and integrating it with Patreon is very useful to build memberships for followers and I am having a great time using it. I have been able to connect with so many people from different parts of the world and have set up different tiers of membership in Patreon which allows every patron to have a unique set of requests accordingly. I also find the mobile app very useful and can communicate to patron requests and YouTube updates on the go. Customer service is prompt as well.
CONSThe fees associated with withdrawals could be lowered a little. Other than that I absolutely find nothing bad about Patreon.

My Patreon Experience
It was straight up easy for me to set up my Patreon. Just entered my details, selected my membership tiers and done. The back end also provided me with all the necessary tools I needed to get started.
CONSI am comfortably saying that I'm good with Patreon from a creator point of view. The reason I didn't give them a 5 star is from my consumer point of view. There was a point they continued to charge me for a subscription to a creator who had long closed their account. All I can say is getting my money back has been some fight, and I haven't been successful by the way.

Great Podcasts on Patreon
I got Patreon when I decided I wanted to actually subscribe to a podcast I'd been listening to for free. By subscribing, you get bonus episodes, opportunities to interact with the host and community, and other benefits depending on the podcast. Importantly, you also help support the making of the podcast.
PROSPatreon works great, and allows me to read the transcript of a podcast, find links to things that are mentioned, and download episodes (which helps if you live in a rural area with poor cell service!). Since subscribing, I've added other podcasts I listen to regularly. I like that Patreon lets me support good podcasts, and help them get made.
CONSI have had no complaints about Petreon whatsoever. I will note that they've just released a new version (and logo). But so far it works as well as the previous one.

Patreon Review
Patreon is fantastic and super easy to use!
PROSI absolutely love this platform and what it does for creators. It’s easy to navigate from the front to the backend. When you make a change you see it on the front end of your Patreon immediately. It’s quick on it’s feet :)
CONSHmm I think the only thing I didn’t like was how there was no explanation on how someone actually received your content. It was actually from working on for a few hours that I figured it out.
