> There are thousands of paid fiction authors on Patreon but only 25 earn more than $1,000/month, only six earn more than $2,000/month, and only one earns more than the $5,000/month (and she’s already a bestselling author).

This is just incredibly wrong? There are quite a few web serial authors making more than $5000/month on Patreon.

Perhaps they didn't fit a search criteria? Got examples we can see?

A few I'm aware of:

https://www.patreon.com/Wildbow $6000/month

https://www.patreon.com/SelkieMyth $6500/month

https://www.patreon.com/Magic_Smithing $10,000/month

https://www.patreon.com/Shirtaloon $17,000/month

https://www.patreon.com/pirateaba 4300 patrons with no $ listed but I've heard it's well over $10,000/month

Thank you!!!! This is very helpful. Looks like they aren't tagged as fiction which is why I couldn't find them. I'll definitely dig into these as some amazing case studies!
