 Hi guys, I hope you're all right today. In this video I'd like to tell you about the Patreon campaign that I recently started for my YouTube channel. Okay, so I'm Shane and I started creating 3d modeling tutorials on YouTube a few years ago I recently decided to up my game and spend more time planning shooting and editing the tutorial videos And I really believe that they're now up there with the best available Now most of the professional tutorial videos out there are created by companies who want you to pay for access to them And that's absolutely fine for them, but I want I don't want to work that way I think that education should be free and so all the videos that I've created or will ever create will be offered completely free of charge So I'm obviously not going to get rich doing this But that's not why I do it. I do it because I enjoy sharing what I know and They get a lot of satisfaction out of hearing from people that have really benefited from what I've been able to teach them The only problem with this way of working is that it severely limits the time I can spend on creating the videos I've obviously got to eat and pay bills So I work as a teacher in order to do that and of course that's got to be my priority Although I really love my job I'd also love to be able to put tutorials upon YouTube more often to really be able to share my knowledge with a much Large number of people and in a lot of cases with those people that really can't get the education anywhere else So how can you help? Well, that's where patreon comes in Patreon is a service that will allow you to if you want to be able to support me financially To help me create more and better tutorial and educational videos The way it works is that you can choose to give as little or as much money as you like and that will happen once every month You can choose to change the amount you give or cancel at any time So you're always completely in control and if you're not able to give anything then that's obviously fine, too Depending on how much you give you'll gain access to specific rewards This range is from access to the private patron feed where I'll post videos only for patrons to show you what I'm doing And how I'm making use of the donations Right through to personal support in your education So that might be via video chat if that's what you need I'll continue to update the rewards regularly as I think of better ways to thank my patrons for offering their support If you look on the patreon page, you'll also see a few milestones that I've set. These are probably very very ambitious But they explain what I'll do if I ever reach a certain amount of monthly donations I hope you'll have a read at my patreon page and consider supporting me if you can And if you're not able to become a patron Then I just hope you'll continue to support me by watching the videos and commenting on them to help me to further grow the community for my youtube channel Anyway, thanks a lot for watching and I'll see you next time
