I have a patron account but to be frank don't understand how it works as it seems like most people that are successful at it that I know are big Youtubers so I have left it until I am known. Though I might be wrong so will love to read other peoples comments.

Merchandise for me seems to be very tricky as I hate marketing (after being a marketer for 10 years). I also have come across some that looks vey fishy so am also lost on this avenue for imcome.
