WE JOINED PATREON!
Hi DIY friends,
In case you missed it –DIY in Progress is now on Patreon!
When I started this creative journey online, my only goal was to be myself and share my honest experiences through each diy project. Over time, I began to realize it wasn't my experiences that mattered, it was my attitude. Staying positive, persevering through the hard days and celebrating the small wins in my home became my motto. Soon enough, I had a home that I loved and a huge group of DIY cheerleaders behind me. My creativity felt supported in ways I'll never be able to articulate in one sentence. The challenge with digital media is that it has always felt one-sided. I had all this creative support but how could I make sure you felt that support back? I wanted the ability to connect with all of you on a more intimate level. High-five you on the DIY wins and help navigate you through the tough days with advice. Thus, I began a new journey to build something bigger than me. I built a Patreon.
It’s been my dream to build a place where people can connect, support and encourage one another to be creative. A place where you can show off your own DIY projects and even ask for advice when you’re looking for a DIY solution in your own space.
Apart from connecting with other Creative Beasts, my Patreon will also be a space where you can find extra content and behind the scenes footage. Curious what ever happened to those painted rocks? Are they still standing? Join Patreon today and find out! Our very first Behind the DIY Ep 1 is live on our Patreon and I give you an update on the Painted Rocks, the Star Cabinet, my Backyard refresh episode and my 3rd Bedroom.
How does Patreon work? Well, we have 3 tiers to choose from:
Tier 1 is called TRUST THE PROCESS. These “TRUSTEE” members will get:
early access to my videos before they launch on YouTube (ad-free!)
your name featured in the end credit of my YouTube videos (“Look Ma! I’m on TV!”)
access to our Discord page, a community platform for creative DIYers like you and me to share projects, ideas, information, hacks, products and your favourite music playlists to DIY to. This will be a place for all of us to connect and share our creativity with one another.
DIY Danie GIFs – Dan The Editor comes up with these from my videos and they’re hilarious!
“Live Check-in social videos with Danie” via Patreon Lens. These are similar to Instagram stories but are exclusive to Patreon members. You get to see what Danie is doing in real-time with sneak peaks of projects 3 weeks before they air on YouTube.
Tier 2 is called CREATIVE BEAST. These “CREATIVE BEAST” members will get:
everything listed above PLUS!
access to an exclusive “BEHIND THE DIY” series where I deep dive into past projects I’ve created. I’ll be talking about the experience and elements that might not have made it to the edit. I’ll also include some Q&As so make sure to add your questions in the comment section of each episode.
Tier 3 is called MAKE IT MESSY. These “MESS MAKER” members will get:
everything listed above PLUS!
an invitation to a monthly LIVE Creative Night with Danie! Join me and my team on Discord’s livestream channel where we hangout and dedicate ourselves to being creative for 1 hour. Come ready with pencils, paint, markers, literally any craft of your choosing. You can follow along or do your own thing, just as long as you are being present and creative.
Sound like a place you want to be? Head over to the DIY IN PROGRESS Patreon and join our community! Our entire DIY in Progress team has HUGE dreams for this brand and by supporting us on Patreon, you give us the opportunity to one day expand the team, the studio space and subsequently help grow bigger and better DIY ideas!
