This is 2.9 percent + a flat rate of $0.30. So, if you charge $10/month, Patreon will take $0.59, leaving you with $9.41. The micropayment rate applies to all payments that are $3 or less. It is 5 percent + a flat rate of $0.10. So, if you charge just $2/month for a low-tier membership plan, Patreon will take $0.20, leaving you $1.80.
That's true, but even then most spend between 1-10$ a month as patrons, while you can easily sell stuff to people for way more than that. Which is not just a money concern, but also a concern of size of things you can do for them. For that little money not really much can be done.
By that point, I was making about $100 per month. That’s a success to me; it’s a stable supplement to all of my other income. I know that even if I have a bad month, this extra $100 will be there as a buffer. But even then, it’s not a lot of money. Why do I still consider my Patreon a success then? Patreon is More About Community Than Money
