Hi everyone! My name is Julie Austin and I've been in the biz professionally (meaning I've made a living!) since I was a teenager. Started off as an actor, then became a development exec, writer and distributor of films and TV shows to Europe.
I produced my first TV pilot with small business sponsorship and later on with theater productions. I just got my first small business sponsor for a web series.
I run a site for speakers called Speaker Sponsor and have one in beta for artists called Indie Sponsor. Many of the speakers have gotten sponsorship and I'd like to launch Indie Sponsor for artists the same way.
If you're interested in being on the site for free while it's in the beta stage, (for at least a year) check it out at IndieSponsor.com and email me at info@indiesponsor.com. Keep in mind that this goes to small business sponsors, so nothing too controversial. I can take the first 30 people who contact me. Stage 32 is awesome, BTW!
Hi Damian, Patreon is a crowdfunding site and Indie Sponsor is more of a small business marketplace for businesses. There is a crowdfunding element to it, but we don't charge a percentage.
