In 2013, YouTube musician Jack Conte was looking for a solution to his problem: millions of people loved his videos, but only hundreds of dollars were hitting his bank account. This didn’t add up, so he drafted up an idea (hi, we’re Patreon) and brought it to his college...

xenmaster's online business platforms
The purpose of this list is to provide a list of creator-based platforms you can use to make money. The idea here is to satisfy the three step process to becoming a potentially successful creator:
1). Come up with a great value proposal. What can you build that other people will pay money for?
2). Find a way to deliver your value to your customers. This is where the platform comes in.
3). Find a way to get paid.
Having a platform that takes away all the major issues that come with delivering content and getting paid is the purpose of the items on this list. They've been categorised based on the type of side business (and possibly fulltime business) you are trying to build!
Creator References & Resources
Stock Photos, brushes, 3D models, and other resources for the creative individual.

They ban people without warning for politic reason. The violate their own TOS.
Correction: They ban people without warning me for a political reason. They violated their own TOS.
Total censorship. At the same time supporters of Russia collecting money to kill people there are not banned
Patreon will ban you from their services if you post anything that violates their TOS anywhere on the Internet. This is not only insane but a clear violation of their own TOS. Go with a service that is not ideologically driven like subscribestar.
They will ban you even if you don't violate their TOS. All is takes is speaking against ideologies that some people in their committees have.
I joined Patreon early, when it was quite new. At some point I discovered they had used my email to send out invites to people I knew, without my approval. I could not trust the site after that so deleted my account and even though I think it is a great idea, I am unlikely to try them again.
Some people are doing great with Patreon, but if you don't already have a following/ aren't already popular, there isn't much point in joining. Your account just stays very quiet. I did not find much real help or inspiration in how to get any farther with the service. However, if you are popular already, Patreon is a good service to get people to sponsor you.
True fact! Most of our sponsors don't like to go for a monthly subscription. You should try buymeacoffee.com. it is a one-time donation site. Many of my Tumblr mates are getting good supports.
