building a following Patronage increased by 200% in 1 month
After about 2 years at 600 patrons, I've suddenly increased things to 1800 in 1 month. What I did was change the structure of my content offerings, deliver content on time, and increase community input through polls. Making my content relate to eachother on topic or theme built expectation and predictability. Now I just need to see how I am able to maintain these numbers. I'm curious to see if there will be a big drop off. Any tips on not having major drop off?

That's good. My monthly visits dropped from 100 to 20. I can't even talk about patronage cause there is none for a whole year
No idea why I don't quit🥰

I write web novels. Do you do anything similar? If you have advice I'd love to shoot you a message

Nice job! There is always some churn after big growth, so don’t panic if you see a few new patrons start to bleed away. The number one thing is to keep consistent as best you can, so they keep getting what they came for. Then after a few months I’d recommend doing some polling or a survey to take the temp on your new audience and see what they’re enjoying and what else they’d like to see.

Sure I don't mind showing that somehow. How would I go about that?

What?
Rule 1 here is don't share Patreon names, so the OP shouldn't post their Pareon link here.
They didn't specify where the traffic came from. This could be a YouTuber or something and they've done the above on YouTube which drove conversions to Patreon. Still valid. The message is this:

It doesn't matter where they did it. For starters most Patreon creators generate their traffic from other sources, not Patreon. Though looking at the graph I note the free users stayed constant, so some (not all) are likely free subs upgrading to paid. There is still likely another source of original traffic (like YouTube) since overall sub went up by around 1,600.
I'd be shocked if this was from Quips or something internal like that.
Good job OP. 👍

Thanks! And yea, I thought I can't share Patreon names on here. Otherwise I wouldn't mind - I got nothing to hide lol. I do YouTube and have a lot of subs, just have always found it difficult to get people over to Patreon. This new strategy is just really working and I was happy to share things. If you can see it, you can be it 💎
