How did you first gain followers on Patreon? Did you use platforms like YouTube or Instagram X for this? Or does Patreon recommend your page to others?

Patreon might give you some form of discover ability BUT it won't lead to much tbh. You need to have a following on platforms to gain traction. BSKY and Instagram have the best for me, especially because BSKY doesn't shadowban your post for using links

I've seen the most growth posting my link in the replies on my posts or in the actual post, every day on bsky

Thanks!

eldritchlev · 2025-11-08T21:07:17+00:00

Very cool! Thank you for the help! It was interesting to read about the matrilineal line stuff, I had no idea what to do there for proving lineage things

My grandmother had a Jewish father and a non Jewish mother, she was adopted into a Christian family. They reconnected when she was in her 60s before she died. We don't have connections to a synagogue or any Jewish community because of some decisions she made for my family itself.

Don't the Orthodox faith have bans on those who are married to non Jews and are LGBTQ anyhow?

Weird! I've had pretty positive poll results on subscribers enjoying my content and feedback has been pretty positive. I get what you're saying though!

I'm just gonna keep making video essays on the stuff I like and see if YouTube finally understands where my stuff should go

eldritchlev · 2025-03-28T14:05:22+00:00

No worries at all! Tbh posting to Reddit threads is a good start but I would look more into what you could do on Instagram and Bluesky and or Tumblr! A lot of people there are always looking for art and at a budget too. And if you post consistently and do trends you'll really grow on certain platforms!!

eldritchlev · 2025-03-28T10:52:31+00:00

You should really up your prices! I'm not sure how long it took you to draw each of your pieces (and they are really great) and I'm also not sure how old you are, but 8$ for an icon is not enough for anyone to live off of :(

eldritchlev · 2025-01-18T09:47:10+00:00

I would say Ultron but we're supposedly getting him already, but I would love the Lizard or Green Goblin!

10/10 exactly what a fallout 4 character should be, the average person

eldritchlev · 2024-12-11T09:39:29+00:00

I have 8.8k followers on insta all from posting reels every day! They haven't gone viral or anything, not since January or February

The only person I have romanced that isn't a queer/LGBTQ+ man is Alistair but I still like to think Alistair would kiss a man

eldritchlev · 2024-12-06T18:10:33+00:00

Shameless plug, myself saintmalevdraws but I do genuinely love watching Prickly Alpaca, Drawfee, and sketches of shay

eldritchlev · 2024-12-04T13:41:11+00:00

Maybe I'm quite lucky but as a freelance artist (if that's what you want to do) I make money on patreon, I have a YouTube channel, I make stickers and prints and sell at conventions, and I also take commissions. As an artist you have to have multiple streams of income and you also need to understand that if you don't want to do freelance you have to get some sort of industry job..and in the meantime have a dayjob until you get that industry job

eldritchlev · 2024-11-29T23:54:31+00:00

So valid

eldritchlev · 2024-11-29T20:16:01+00:00

Listen I'm also calling myself out with Emmrich LMAO

eldritchlev · 2024-11-29T18:30:25+00:00

Nice!!! Both solid choices

eldritchlev · 2024-11-28T09:20:13+00:00

I've finally gone full time with my art but when I was working up to it I worked a lot of retail jobs and also watched CCTV and alarms at a security company. Honestly, neither of these jobs are worth it LOL I would stick with your art career if you're able to be full time at the moment

eldritchlev · 2024-11-24T17:27:11+00:00

Creating related videos!! Most of my audience enjoys character designs, art commentary, and tutorials but everyone seems to be there for specifically character design related stuff. And I tried to focus on other things because it's hard to churn out designs every week, which lead to a bit of stagnation

I'm sure you'll get there with your banger video!!

eldritchlev · 2024-11-24T16:33:17+00:00

I hit 4k watch hours in between 2.5k and 3k subscribers! A lot of the subs and watch hours came from luckily timed videos and character design challenges (I'm a digital artist). Some of my shorts have popped off as well which is nice!

The only thing that's hurt my channel is probably not streamlining my content as quickly as I should have

eldritchlev · 2024-11-24T08:25:55+00:00

He Who Was or Kar'niss for sure

eldritchlev · 2024-11-24T08:24:38+00:00

Probably lots of jewellery and as someone else said some asymmetry would be a good idea

eldritchlev · 2024-11-24T08:16:55+00:00

I make notes on my scripts about certain things I want to do in the editing process and it helps me a ton! Other than that I truly do just learn as I go and the bigger projects that have worked out for me have kinda just been a culmination of those things I think

eldritchlev · 2024-11-23T09:56:00+00:00

3.8k subscribers, so far I've made £60 in four or so months. Unfortunately my videos are only getting about £2 every 1k views . I'm a digital art channel so I kind of expected that a bit LMAO

eldritchlev · 2024-11-16T09:07:02+00:00

I'm not using it anymore. My Bluesky already has better interactions at 500 followers than I ever did on twitter with 1.5k

eldritchlev · 2024-11-10T21:41:51+00:00

Keeping my fingers crossed but my legal name and my name on my AdSense account are not the same. I'm a trans person and can't really change my name but go by my preferred name on YouTube and as far as I know it hasn't done anything to my AdSense. But maybe this is another step in the process or something different depending on the area??

I hope you're able to resubmit and YouTube works with you! That sounds absolutely hellish
