It\u2019s been three years since I started blogging. Since February 2015 I\u2019ve written a weekly blog, on average. At this point I\u2019ve got more than 3300 subscribers to my newsletter and about 14,000 people find their way to my website every month. That\u2019s fantastic! Today I\u2019ve created a Patreon page. Patreon is a platform which enables people to support artists online. I can also use a little help from my friends. I hope you\u2019ll check out my Patreon page!<\/em><\/p>\n

I remember my first blog very well; I wrote it on February 20th<\/sup> 2015. I ended it by writing: \u2018I actually don\u2019t think many people will read this blog and that\u2019s ok, because I do it more for myself. But who knows, maybe there are people who have similar ideas and my writings may offer help, tips, peace of mind or whatever.\u2019 I could never have imagined so many people would like my writings and find them helpful. And I like it so much, writing! It usually doesn\u2019t take much effort, but of course I need to sit down and take some time to do it.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Because my blogs turned out to be so popular, I hoped to make a little money out of it, eventually. That\u2019s not that easy though. You need to invest a lot of time and money, approaching companies for ads and hiring professional photographers. And even though I really like blogging, I just haven\u2019t got the time to take my blog to the next level. There are so many other things to do to help grow the Tiny house movement and help people in realizing their own Tiny House dream. And that\u2019s also very important, valuable, and fun work to do. A lot of that work is voluntary, as you may know, like my work for the Tiny House Nederland foundation. Since November 2016 I\u2019ve been trying to make it as a freelancer. Giving lectures and workshops takes me a long way, but I\u2019m not there just yet. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve decided to create a Patreon page.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Patreon is a platform which allows people who create valuable online content – whether it\u2019s<\/span> blogs, videos, art or music – to create a page. A patron is an old term for someone who (financially) supports artists. Anyone who appreciates the work of an online \u2018creator\u2019 can support him or her with a monthly contribution. As from now, you can support my work for a little amount per month and from 5 dollars (it\u2019s an American platform) a month, for which you get something in return. Do you enjoy reading my blogs and would you like me to continue writing? Perhaps you may want me to expand the website with videos or you can\u2019t wait for my book to finally come out? In that case I hope you\u2019ll want to become my Patron!<\/p>\n

For my Patron page see:<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t or won\u2019t, don\u2019t worry. My blogs will continue to be freely available for all. If you do, thanks so much for your support! I wish you all a very nice Sunday!<\/p>\n
