Guide 24

Publish your first paid Patreon post

Set up your Patreon page, pick the gallery or movie path, and publish a post your members can open.

Why use it

Patreon owns your page, your audience, and the paywall. PixelPig handles the media side: a prepared gallery, or a longer movie hosted on Bunny Stream.

Set it up

Ask an agent to guide you
Help me publish my first paid Patreon post using https://www.pixelpig.net/agent/creator-publishing.md. First explain the choices in plain language, then take me one step at a time. Keep credentials out of chat, confirm the exact media before uploading anything, and leave the audience and final Publish or Schedule choice to me.

Do this

  1. 01Finish Patreon's Launch Checklist first. It covers your name, profile and header images, and your About text. Then turn on paid memberships; one tier is enough to start.
  2. 02Decide which path this post takes. For a single image or a short gallery, follow Prepare a collection for Patreon. For a longer movie, follow Link Patreon members to a longer movie, which hosts it on Bunny Stream and gives you a player link.
  3. 03In Patreon, choose Create > Post. Add a title and a short public introduction, set Audience to Paid access, and insert the paywall after the introduction. Everything members are paying for goes below that line.
  4. 04Gallery: upload the prepared files below the paywall, in the order PixelPig numbered them. Movie: add a Button below the paywall, set Button text to WATCH VIDEO, and paste the Bunny link into Link.
  5. 05Preview before you publish. Check the locked view and the member view, open every image and link, and test a movie button on your phone as well as your computer. The tier, notification, and Publish or Schedule choices are yours to make in Patreon.
