Marc Gunn's Celtic CD of the Month Club
I've talked a lot about Patreon over the past couple of months. As an artist and creator, it makes me happy. I have a lot of trouble keeping up with all the social media sites, the emails, and the blogs. There's too much to do. Patreon makes my life simpler and it helps me to keep earning during the slow months.
Top 4 Reasons Why I Love Patreon
- Patreon allows me to better interact with my Gunn Runners.
Everything is contained simply on one site. It's easy to use even though I don't think it's the most-organized. I don't have to skip around between websites to communicate with Gunn Runners. - Patreon makes it easy for me to promote.
I never know how best to promote new songs I write, new albums, etc. Each time, I post a new Creation on Patreon, I know that's something people will want to hear about. So I use it to promote to my social media sites. It just makes sense to me. - Patreon offers me a regular monthly income.
Right now, I'm at $110 per month. I have a friend who makes over $900 a month. Do you understand how amazing $100, $200, or $900 a month is to an artist who scrapes together income from a dozen different sources that all vary. That's a solid income that doesn't change much. It's something I can expect each and every month. That takes a BIG load off my shoulders. - Patreon is fun!
Right now, I'm writing lots of new music. I'm sharing it on Patreon. I'm getting feedback. I'm coming up with more ideas on how to share even more. I'm just having a BLAST with it.

Announcing the CD of the Month Club
If you've already checked out my Patreon site, then you probably saw the CD of the Month Club. As I was creating my Patreon website, I realized that not only do I have a LOT of CDs, but I have enough to offer a CD of the Month Club. I have enough that this club could last for 2-3 years minimum for newbies. So I decided to offer a limited number of spots for an autographed CD of the Month Club.
Here's how it works:
- You make a pledge of $25 a month as a Patron ($33 for International Patrons).
- Once a month, I will send you a list of products that are available for the CD of the Month Club. You can take your pick of any of the CDs or swag available.
- If you want it autographed, I'll sign it for you.
Now, you will note that there are only a limited number of these spots available. As I write this, there are only 17. This is because I have a LOT of trouble keeping up with too many monthly orders. I figure 20 is a safe number (well, up to 45 if I get people in the higher tiers). I can't do much more than that on my own. So if the slots fill up, then you will have to wait until someone drops out.
Oh! And there may come a time when you own all of my CDs or perhaps you want something different from my list of swag, including t-shirts, jewelry, cat toys, who knows what. All I know is when that day approaches… AHHHHHHHHGH! I have to seriously figure out something creative for ye. 😉
