Hey, I'm Janis and I have a boating youtube channel called Onboard Tangaroa. Right now we are at 2800 subscribers and growing. We document our lives living onboard a boat in Victoria BC. In November 2021, a subscriber, Matthew, asked if we had a Patreon Channel. Now I knew what Patreon was an supported three channels. My plan was to monetize our channel on Patreon once we went somewhere or once I deemed the channel "ready." Well Matthew deemed it "ready" for us and it is launching in one week. I have lightly launched already and have 2 Patreons. One is my sister and one is Matthew. BTW - we don't know who Matthew is but we are becoming fast friends.

This podcast is my story. The highs and lows as they come of launching a Patreon Channel and asking people to pay for your videos...cringe.
