The purpose of Patreon is that it is a way for independent creators to post content and hopefully get their name out into the public.]]> 2022-02-24 14:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2064643310 blbrennan11 https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2064647860 The labor at Patreon is unique in my opinion. Their goal is to obviously work on and improve the website but, the workers said “It feels like your really on the ground helping independent creators build their own business”. I find that really cool because normally you are working for someone or for yourself but in this situation it’s like your working with someone. ]]> 2022-02-24 14:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2064647860 blbrennan11 https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2064652287 The main way to look at the land aspect for Patreon includes their 50,000 square-foot headquarters that is located in San Francisco California. I didn’t expect them to have such a massive headquarters for an online website.]]> 2022-02-24 14:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2064652287 blbrennan11 https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2064661586 The capital for Patreon can be looked at in a few different ways. Obviously you can look at it from a money POV where the company is said to be worth over $1 billion. You can also look at the capital as assets they own like their huge headquarters in San Francisco, California with all of their workers. But from a value perspective you can also say the value it has to all of the creators of the app that are getting their names out and making them money as well which adds huge value to the company.]]> 2022-02-24 14:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2064661586 blbrennan11 https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2066409293 There are no resources that are needed because it’s a online website. You could make an argument that the website is a resource but that’s it.]]> 2022-02-25 14:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2066409293 blbrennan11 https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2066421848 His first obstacle was when he checked his bank account and it read almost $0. This is something that no one wants to see, it’s like you are starting over.]]> 2022-02-25 14:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2066421848 blbrennan11 https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2066425114 The factor played a huge roll in their story. They both had to overcome huge obstacles along the way in order create their end business which Patreon. It’s important to keep pushing through the parts where you are the lowest because the only way you can go is up from places like that.]]> 2022-02-25 14:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/blbrennan11/a7n0xe1zhs71598b/wish/2066425114
