🕑 Added 2023-09-15 01:26:28 +0000 UTCWays I Monetize
These are the ways Swords makes an income online. They are not ranked in any particular order.
1. Patreon
https://www.patreon.com/swordscomic
Swords is supported by Patreon!
At the time of writing, these are the stats:
800 patrons (yahoo!)
$1,584 USD per month ($2678.68 NZD)
Ranked 51st out of all Comics Patreons (this does not include Adult Webcomics, which reside in their own category)
Ranked 2761st largest Patreon of all Patreon accounts
These rankings are based on the number of Patrons, not the amount of income earned.
New Zealand minimum wage : $47,216.00 NZD per year ($3,934.66 NZD per month)
Currently Patreon earns 68% of a minimum New Zealand wage.
2. Ko-Fi
- One off donations
- A Shop (that mostly sells Enamel Pins)
- Commissions (sometimes)
3. Kickstarter
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/swordscomic/swords-cut-the-deck
While the Cut the Deck Kickstarter raised $251,014 USD, I am not taking a cut of that income until the game is finished, shipped and all pitfalls have been accounted for.
4. Threadless and Teepublic

Things have been very slow in 2023, making maybe $20 in a good month. These really need some new designs though.

Do you feel you spent more because you didn't know it existed? Maybe I should keep it secret, lol
This is interesting. I will see that the threadless/ tearepublic stuff is harder to notice. When I found it I was overjoyed and I think I bought $100-200 worth of stuff, but it was more a miraculous find than anything else.
