I understand the new quips are there, but Im having a feeling that people build audiences outside patreon first and then brought them to patreon.

1. With the new patreon 2.0 from this year that we are seeing, I wanted to ask if there are people who have been doing patreon for a while and realized any major changes that helped them increase their following via patreon platform itself per se?

Also,

1. I wanted to ask if other patreon creators are open to idea of cross promoting other patreons in similar range and niche and if so, what is the best way to approah them or a platform?

2. How long it took for you to go full time?

3. Can you share the strategy that worked for you along with the niche you were in?

Thank you for your time.

Hi Everyone, Im an indie author who publish serialised novels...is there any advice you can give a beginner who wants to get attention to her patreon? Currently I try to draw traffic from posting on wattpad and giving chapters in advance on patreon.

My niche is MM Romances and I write Dark Romances with explicit chapters...I need to find my audience....

Will it be possible , if I post my chapters on reddit as well? If so, any clue on what subreddits should I post to?

Thank you in advance for your guidance

I'm hoping to hear from people who have experienced something similar, because I'm getting increasingly worried and frustrated.
On October 20, 2026, I discovered numerous Patreon charges on both my personal and business bank accounts. The total amount identified so far is over €200, with multiple transactions occurring within a short period of time.

I immediately checked my Patreon account, but I can only find one closed membership with a total charge of $42.35. I've already requested a refund for that payment. (Without a response still)
The other transactions are nowhere to be found in my account, and I have no idea where they came from. I'm concerned that my account or payment details may have been compromised. My password may also have been exposed in a data breach, although I cannot confirm this was the cause.

Since discovering the charges, I've:

• Secured my Patreon account and changed my password.
• Blocked my affected bank card and arranged a replacement.
• Reported the incident to my bank, which has opened a fraud investigation.
• Contacted the police to arrange a formal report. (Because the bank is asking for it sigh)

The police have asked me to wait until Tuesday to see whether Patreon responds before arranging an appointment for my statement.
My biggest concern is that I haven't received any confirmation or response from Patreon Support. I've tried contacting them, but I don't even know whether my request has reached the right team.

I understand that support teams can be busy, but this involves real financial losses across two bank accounts, and my bank needs documentation to investigate the case.

So does anyone know with an similar case how long did Patreon Support take to respond to a suspected account compromise involving unauthorized charges? Did you receive an automatic confirmation email after submitting your request and were you able to recover charges that didn't appear in your own Patreon billing history? And is there anything else I should do while waiting for support to respond?

The whole situation is kinda stressful because everyone keeps telling me to wait.

I was making a NSFW game posted some sprite examples and plot pics, and truth be told it's been a while and now I've decided to go back to my roots and draw illustrations. Needless to say Do I delete the failed content ideas from my patreon feed, put discontinued in the title of each of these posts and then post about the change in direction? My page isnt big its got 55 free members and i dont really wanna give them whiplash from the change in direction
