Here’s how Patreon works. Fans can elect to donate as little as $1 for every song or video an artist produces. If the artist creates 6 videos a year, a fan donating $1 per work would give $6 a year. Fans pay nothing if the artist does not release any works. The idea is to provide a revenue stream for artists who aren’t creating large, flashy projects for Kickstarter campaigns, but are slowly cranking out one video, song or comic on a regular basis.
