Your earning potential as an artist on Patreon depends largely on your current audience and how strategically you use the platform to connect with new patrons. Some artists earn a lot of money each month. For example, Jenny Nicholson makes an estimated $31,000 a month but Jake Weddle is said to make $601 a month. Most people won’t make that much money on Patreon. But if you’re already creating art, you’ve got nothing to lose by giving it a shot.
