Patreon
Many YouTubers have taken to using the service of Patreon to supplement the income they receive from ads. For those who do not know what Patreon is “Patreon is an internet-based platform that allows content creators to build their own subscription content service” (Wikipedia). I myself have taken to using Patreon as a way to be able to afford managing my four YouTube Channels.
I do not currently have any patrons on patreon, but I am asking you to consider making a donation of only $1 a month that will get you access to Patron exclusive content. On my Patreon Page I have 6 reward tiers.

You may be wondering, “Why does he need a Patreon?” Well, let me explain. Income I receive from Patron can be used to better the quality of videos on my channel. I can purchase better recording software and hardware. I can also pay royalties to use music in my videos (this is other than royalty-free and copyrighted-free music). I will also use the revenue to purchase a domain to house my website and may consider opening up an online store so you can purchase Berry Entertainment ‘swag.’ Such merchandise remains to be seen. In addition, I will use the income to be able to afford to go to college; pay off any student debt I incur, pay for textbooks, and general living expenses. (Boy, is college expensive!)
