Comment on Thinking of doing a Patreon soon! by ChunLo
I'd love to see more stuff from you.
Can't promise to support a Patreon (but maybe I will
)
If you do, though, use this!
patreon.com/invite/pbpg
it's an invite.
I got a Patreon myself, together with talented (NYT bestselling) author Aaron Dembski-Bowden.
In terms of what you should do, I'd say there are some standards that I see artists do-
You named them all. Though I think Prints is a bit shifty. People want prints, but consider the costs. If it costs you more than what you get, it hardly is helpful for anyone (because you'll go broke, and have to stop with the patreon, so nobody will get prints anymore )
I think the really big key is to gather many patrons, and have low tiers.
So, yeah. If you are already giving away extra's at 1$, that is a good incentive.
I really hope it turns good for you
(and shameless plug obviously)

Thank you for the advice!
One of the best advices I can give is actually this- Be patient.
If you are lucky, you have a bunch of people supporting you right away, but think of it as a slow build.
IF you want to get really creative, use thunderlap (search it) and get 100 friends to post about it on Twitter/Facebook. That way, you get a massive shoutout that your patreon is happening when you start.
But be patient, it builds
