Patreon lets you have awards for the Supporters

I mean...what exactly should I make for awards?

Twitch?

Nope. I want it to be Newgrounds. Not twitch. I'd rather know as much as my audience as possible

https://ko-fi.com/ maybe ?

Well I mean whats the difference between this and Patreon?

@Wegra From what I remember, people can donate without any specific things in return, just to support you / your content.

Yeah Ko-Fi is definitley good for what I do. I appreciate it!

wegra, you could use the collaboration section of the site and charges people to make a type of artwork.

I always forget that exists

For Donations/tips, Ko-Fi is the best choice out there. (They also offer commissions if you are interested in them.)

Patreon is if you legit wanna make a living (which require having an actual fanbase out there)

I'd say if you wanna be paid, you need to provide something worth paying for. Shitposts are just that - shit. Try animating or something else creative, lots of people make decent money from that stuff.

Well sadly I'm not a very skilled animator. And I think my shitposts are more than enough

@Wegra
Be honest, would YOU pay to read someone's shitposts? There's no shortage of shitposters online, and to my knowledge it's all done for free.

If it's what you wanna do, go ahead. Don't let me stop you. I'm just not sure it's viable to make a living off of, like say... writing a novel or something.

I would pay them if I got a good laugh on multiple occasions. Besides I've done art and audio and I think by now I deserve to not be in some shitty job that barely gives hours or doesnt even bother hiring me

@Wegra
As fucked as the job market may be, no one 'deserves' a living. It's a struggle for everyone now, except for the elites. The only way to guarantee a living now is to be born into a royal bloodline or something.

I'm like an incel but for being entitled to have a job and a living instead of a gf 😂

Only thung I kniw about buisness on NG is that if you slip Sir Fulpous a hundred, he'll let you slap an ad on the nextmonth's "monthly best" awards post. It would be like an investment sorta, but it seems worthless unless you're alresdy making cash from doing something on here, or outside the site.

One option would be to find an animator or game designer to make something wegra themed, then make a kickstarter to pay them and keep a percentage.

Ko-Fi seems good for donations that are given for the sake of support. Patreon would mean that you have to have a weekly reward for the people paying. Basically Wegra+ subscribtion
