Here at TVWriter™ we’re always urging creatives to write/produce/et al for the interwebs, but we admit that we’ve always been as much in the dark as everybody else about how to monetize interweb work. (TVWriter™ contributors make money? Ha! For that matter, TVWriter™ itself make money? Ha! Ha!)

Getting paid on the Internet, a place where many people only recently became OK with putting their credit card numbers, is no easy task. This is especially true for independent artists and creators. Zach Weinersmith, creator of the webcomic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (SMBC), is particularly tired of the ebb and flow of advertising dollars, not to mention the quality of ads on his site. Luckily, he’s found a new hope in Patreon, a funding site that lets his fans pay him on a subscription basis.
