Do You Want to Build a Sustainable Crowdfunding System for Creative Freedom and Steady Income?
This is an introduction to my upcoming first-of-a-kind book for creators who want to find a creator-friendly platform for financial stability
Last year, in a rush, I wrote a first-of-a-kind book called Substack Mastery, which helped thousands of creators and freelance writers to start the platform, find their voices, and earn some income. I did it because many creators struggle with financial issues in this economic climate.
I will soon release the second version of Substack Mastery as I learned many new things, like what to do and not to do, in this evolving platform. Now, everyone is coming to Substack, and this situation makes it harder for new writers. I am looking for alternative ways and new solutions for authentic creators.
Don’t get me wrong—I admire Substack and like it very much. However, Patreon also has a special place in my heart as it helped me create a unique community I had dreamed of for many years since the Internet started. I brought my loyal readers to Patreon, which managed the transactions effectively and gave me a new audience since 2013.
Unfortunately, due to Apple’s market domination, I slowed my focus on Patreon as it began taxing 30% of creators’ income. This situation deeply concerned me.
However, last week, something unexpected happened. Apple lost the court case, and Patreon was the first to announce it to creators and show their commitment. It was a heartwarming moment for me.
I shared my thoughts about this new win with my publishing mentors, who helped me grow my community through Patreon, Substack, and Kit. They got excited like me.
They said you wrote a bestselling book about Substack, and why don’t you create another bestseller for Patreon? This was music to my ears as I already have a comprehensive journal and education material for Patreon for my students, clients, and proteges.
I quickly restructured the materials as a manuscript and asked some of my publishers whether they could distribute it for me globally at the end of August 2025. They said absolutely yes, as this looked like a valuable business book to them.
I am very pleased about it. The Patreon Mastery was published as a preorder starting with Amazon and will soon appear in many bookstores.
Some alpha readers and editors of the book said this is too long for many to wait. I agree, but I am too busy with many priority tasks to make an earlier commitment. I follow my own advice not to burn out while helping others.
However, I plan to create a pre-release next month through Google Play, Patreon Shop, Substack, and my website while refining the book with the input of alpha and beta readers for global distribution by 31 August 2025. I will run the beta reading process through my Content Marketing Strategy Insights publication on Substack.
Introduction to Patreon Mastery – ISBN 9798231272181
Do you want to build a lucrative crowdfunding system using Patreon for creative freedom and lasting support?
This is a rhetorical question. Of course, every creator wants it.
After 42 years of working across enterprise architecture, business leadership, adult education, and digital content strategy — and after mentoring thousands of creators, freelancers, and professionals — I saw what was missing:
A structure that works for creative people who do not want to sell out their souls or burn out.
I did not write this book to tell you what to do. I wrote it because I had lived through every mistake you are about to make, and I wanted to offer a better way.
Patreon Mastery is a first-of-its-kind book — part personal reflection from the Zen of Book Authoring, part practical playbook — designed using architectural rigor, business strategy, design thinking, and ethnographic case studies in the actual Patreon ecosystem for many years, collaborating with other creators.
This book offers what most creators hardly get: a step-by-step system for building income, delivering value, and growing support around your work based on the experience of a person who used Patreon, an innovative and creator-friendly platform.
You will learn how I:
- Launched and sustained consulting and coaching tiers for professionals, including book authors
- Sold digital products like book chapters, audiobooks, and exclusive content to loyal supporters
- Helped creators to build a system that works even in countries without Stripe, using PayPal
- Integrated my Patreon with Substack, Medium, Beehiiv, Kit, and other platforms
- Addressed cancellations and slow months, and recovered from pricing mistakes
- Reframed my mindset around wealth, customer value, and ethical growth
This book is especially for creators who feel stuck — those who know how to create but not how to market, price, sell, or manage their business.
If you feel awkward selling, confused about your financials, or disconnected from your readers, this book will meet you where you are — with structure, support, and no gimmicks.
As the author of 40+ books and a lifelong educator and strategist, I built this system not just for myself, my students, or my proteges but for anyone ready to turn loyalty into financial support and steady income without losing their voice.
If Substack Mastery helped you begin writing and distributing newsletters, Patreon Mastery would help you build a better and bigger financial support system.
I will show you how to integrate Substack and Patreon seamlessly to maximize the synergistic outcomes. I invite you to start with clarity, intention, and lasting creative abundance, which will lead to financial freedom.
If you are a creator on Patreon, I’d love to obtain your feedback and interview you for this book, if you wish, to provide more valuable insights to potential readers who can benefit from your experience.

I also created a comprehensive Udemy Course of the Patreon Mastery book narrated by Medium expert Aiden MC.

Thank you for reading my perspectives. I wish you a healthy and happy life.
Importance of Health & Wellness in My Personal & Professional Life
Health and wellness are essential to me and my readers. Therefore, I focus on these topics by writing and curating insights from other writers, practitioners, and thought leaders. Apart from contributing to multiple community publications, I have a personal publication, EUPHORIA, on Medium.com to host my stories on these topics.
One of my focuses is stress management. To guide my readers, I wrote a book titled Cortisol Clarity, reflecting my decades of experience.

In addition, the brain, cognitive performance, and mental health are my research and interest areas. Therefore, I recently authored a book titled Train Your Brain for a Healthier and Happier Life and shared some sample chapters on this platform.
