We were excited to see the idea take off as YouTubers, Twitch streamers, bloggers, and creators of all types used Kit to share their favorite products with their fans and followers.<\/p><p>As creators continued sharing the behind-the-scenes view of their favorite gear, several also started earning substantial revenue from their kits\u200a\u2014\u200ain many cases, enough to make a meaningful living. Today, Kit has helped creators generate tens of millions in product sales; however what we\u2019re most proud of is the many creators who are earning tens of thousands of dollars each month from the simple, beautiful product lists they\u2019ve created with Kit.<\/p><p>At Kit, we are creators ourselves: We are designers, musicians, writers, and photographers; and a desire to create inspires everything we do. We set out to build a platform to solve a problem for us. With millions of users and over a million products recommended on Kit (a new product added every minute!), our platform has helped countless creators in ways we never imagined when we first started this journey.<\/p><p>Which is why today we\u2019re elated to be <a href=\"https:\/\/patreonhq.com\/patreon-acquires-kit-5c36e400bf68\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">joining Patreon<\/a>, the world\u2019s most successful membership platform for creators. At <a href=\"http:\/\/patreon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patreon<\/a>, we\u2019ll be able to continue our commitment to connecting creators and fans and followers and to making it easier to reward creativity and expertise. We\u2019re going to work on Merchandise, creating features that give creators a simple way to deliver their products to their members. It\u2019s an honor for us to continue building tools that enable creators to share their life\u2019s work while earning a sustainable living.<\/p><p>Over the coming months we\u2019ll be working to integrate the best of Kit into Patreon. Kit will continue to be available for you to use while we transition over to the Patreon family, and we are committed to making sure all of your content links and revenue will continue to work as they always have. And of course, we hope you join us over at Patreon; together, we\u2019ll roll out the red carpet to help you build a membership powered by your biggest fans. For more information on how to create a Patreon page, email creators@patreon.com.<\/p><p>Thank you for all your inspiration, feedback, and for using Kit these past few years. You\u2019ve made this experience amazing and have inspired us to build a better community and product. We are looking forward to creating more ways to help you succeed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kit and Patreon are joining together to help creators get paid.
