Steve Dotto is an expert in helping people master tech to live the life they want. For over 20 years, as host and executive producer of Dotto Tech, a nationally syndicated TV show, Steve has entertained and educated millions of Canadians on all aspects of technology. A big revenue stream to his business is from his supporters on Patreon. He currently generates over $6,000 per month from his Patreon fans, and he’s generated over $400,000 in revenue to date. I had to have my good friend Steve back on the show to learn more about his success, and his Patreon Boot Camp that I’ve signed up to. Join us as we discuss the 80/20 rule with email subscribers, why relationships are so unique on Patreon, the lessons learnt from my first Patreon launch – and exit strategies.  Talking Points Patreon’s origin story serving the musician community How to build a dialogue with your podcast community Steve’s success on Patreon Leverage your email subscribers What kind of perks to offer to your Patreons What you’ll get from Patreon Boot Camp A special assignment to do after this episode Quote “Customers aren’t vested in your success – they’re vested in purchasing the value it gives them.” Helpful Links Steve’s Patreon Boot Camp Steve’s Patreon page Episode 115: Protechtivity with Steve Dotto Saidthewhale 1000 True Fans Episode 238: How to Keep Going with Austin Kleon Want to discover some of the books mentioned on the podcast?
