>tfw sakimichan makes over 60k a month on patreon
Her art is pretty, but not god-tier material. It is just attractive fan-art.

Do any of you make money on patreon? Any tips for garnering fans and making money with art?

>> No.2624578

Sakimachan gets that much money because they found the sweet spot between appealing artwork and pandering.

It's nothing to be upset about. That's just what you need to do. You need to figure out how to appeal to people with your art. Would they like to see genuinely interesting concepts or are they in it for the art style? Do you satisfy a niche or have a safe and marketable feel? Are you providing rewards behind the patreon or just using it as a glorified donation sub feed?

Saki got as much as they have because they were one of the first to use the platform as it was beginning to get widespread use. It's not about art quality, though that's a big factor, but because of consistency.

I know, and that is good insight thank you. Yes, there will always be better people, she DOES do fan art of popular characters, have an "appealing to the common eye" style of art, draws some soft-core pr0n, and has been consistent..

so is that what it takes to make decent dough? If so choo-choo here I come!

but where do you SELL porn? And HOW? Paypal cancels your account for porn related material. How do you stay anonymous? Pls teach me.

Shad justo makes porn and then promotes his patreon

How to be sucessful:
-Have a decent skill level/appealing style.
-Pander to fandoms/popular characters/fetishes
-ADVERTISE, SPREAD YOUR NAME, WHORE YOURSELF OUT EVERYWHERE.

Oh yeah tumblr. Seems like:

>Tumblr

are the best? Maybe reddit and facebook, MAYBE, but... idk. Etsy if you want to sell art as well, Ebay for poster prints or something.
How do you directly have people pay? Paypal does so many chargebacks. Deviantart charges a lot.

this.

Sakimichan's art-style is equivalent to otaku advertisements.

There's nothing really outstanding about it, but it's very inviting, saccharine, and much better than anything a normie can do.

The patreon formula is simple:

> always be better at making 'X' than your patrons.
> always be consistent (monthly/weekly/daily content)

you don't need to be skilled if you draw fanart and vice-versa.

Sakimichan is popular because she's a major part of why dA has so many anime artists. She had a fuckton of friends, watchers and tutorials and shit before she even left Anor Londo.

She was/is a major part of dA's pantheon, along with loish, Kr0n, yuumei, and Artgerm.
