Dear Friends,
i LOVE to have you as my Patrons. It's such a joy. One thing I notice though, is that some of you are not using it's full potential. So I want to give you some encouraging thoughts:
1) Sharing is learning
You get sooooo much more out of the tutorials, when you share your creations here in our community. Not just passionate support from other members, but also feedback and hints on how to improve. I guarantee you that there is nothing to worry about. We are all learning, we are all students who want to improve. And sharing keeps you active, encouraged and gives you vital feedback
2) Friends are inspiration
Meet other members and learn what drives them. There so much to see, share and talk about. Different aspirations, goals and backgrounds. All this makes creativity so rich and versatile. And this is what keeps us going. It's easy to pass over some days and then let it become a habit. But when you are part of an active community, it draws you in, to create, remix and drive yourself to do more and get better.
3) Shaping the community
Every community is a symbiotic network of people who bring together their ideas and passion. Like a river, they shape the path and landscape around it. So, your voice and actions count a lot. You shape where this channel goes. For example, i didn't think that inspiration could be a vital part of my tutorials, but now i do "Behind the Scenes" as well es Multi-Video Projects. And everyone benefits from it.
4) A Network is safety
It's hard to crate alone, stay motivated and believe in your powers. But they are there. Maybe they are still raw and untrained, but by being here you already did more than 99% of the people who just dream of being creative. Connecting with other creators gives you that much more security. To know it's normal and ok to start somewhere give you a lot of strength. Even I get shivers before publishing every video. But you give me the strength to keep on going and learn that my work is valued. This will work for you the same way. :)
5) The rich knowledge is behind the surface
Watching the tutorials is nice, but it is only the beginning. The cover of the book. There is so much more to be found when you dig a little bit deeper. Often, here on Patreon we have nice talks, share links, give extra insights, find new ideas. Members write interesting comments and I try to answer every comment and message I get and provide some extra insight. It's the difference between eating at a nice restaurant and having a look in the kitchen to talk with the team.
Wonder where that community can be found? Right here:
