How to Get More Patreon Members: A Weekly Posting Plan

Patreon is where people pay you. It is not where they find you. New members almost always come from something public first: a clip, a free episode, a sketch, a chapter preview. If you only post when you remember, growth stalls.

Here is a weekly plan that keeps the public side running without taking over your week.

Every release gets a preview

Each time you publish something for patrons, post a public taste of it: the first minute, one panel, a paragraph, a riff. End with what patrons get and the link. Schedule it for the moment the full version goes live.

One reminder post a week

Some followers have meant to join for months. Once a week, remind them what the tiers include and what you are working toward. Rotate the angle: a perk, a goal, a thank-you to new members, a look at what is coming. SocialMate's campaign mode cycles up to 20 messages on the days and times you pick, so the reminder is never word for word the same.

Announce in your Discord

If your patrons have a Discord server, schedule your announcements there too. SocialMate posts to the channel you pick through its bot, at the time you choose. It does not watch Patreon for new posts, so you schedule the announcement when you schedule the release.

Post once, everywhere

Your audience is spread across Bluesky, X, Mastodon, LinkedIn and Telegram. Write the post once, pick the platforms, and it goes out to each one.

What it does not do

SocialMate does not post to Patreon, read your Patreon stats or manage your members. It handles the public posts that bring people to your page.

The free plan covers 250 posts a month to Bluesky, Discord, Telegram, Mastodon, LinkedIn and TikTok, scheduled up to two weeks ahead. X needs Pro at $8 a month. More at socialmate.studio/for/patreon-creators.
