Patreon Announces New Features to Help Creators Convert Fans Into Paying Subscribers

Patreon / Gifting Memberships

Patreon has announced new features for creators. These include the ability to gift memberships to fans for a limited time, sell individual posts and collections, and generate audio and video clips of Patreon posts for off-platform promotion. Creators will also soon be able to open their community chat sections to both free and paid members.

Why It Matters: These features will help creators convert more fans into paying subscribers, including the 30 million fee-paying members who have already joined their favorite creators' Patreons. The ability to gift memberships and sell individual posts and collections allows fans to experience the benefits available to subscribers. Auto-generated audio and video clips also make it easier for creators to promote their Patreon on other platforms, such as social media, to help drive more sign-ups.
