Up until now, we've been relying mostly on our Steem earnings to travel through Mexico. From the beginning of our YouTube channel, when we started with zero subscribers a few months ago, we knew that if we wanted to be financially secure we would need to have multiple income sources.
One of our goals is to not have to rely on our Steem earnings at all. We want to be able to power up any Steem that we earn and delegate that Steem Power to community builders who are doing a lot to grow this awesome platform. We've started growing small revenue streams outside of Steem but, so far, nothing substantial enough to make a real difference.
In today's landscape, we think that Steem and Patreon are the two best ways for creators to earn a living for the work they're doing. We asked our YouTube subscribers if they thought we should start a Patreon. We got quite a few saying yes, as well as some who said they'd definitely support us.
So what was the next logical step? Start a Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/tangerinetravels
We're excited about the perks we have to offer and we think you're going to like them!
A big shout out to everyone who has already joined us on Patreon! Thank you so much! For anyone who would like access to the perks but can't join us on Patreon, watch until the end of the video below to see other ways that you can get access to them.

Over 5,000. You guys worked so hard for this, you have paid your dues, you deserve some accolades. Well done.
Just visited the site. I like that cool idea and it has various levels from $1 to $57. This is a nice idea, because the extra fund is needed due to the fluctuating price of steem. This is a welcomed idea. Now i see why you have both been so busy.
Love the way you put several clips into one to one, to celebrate this amazing landmark. Jordan, did you cut your hair? Hahaha
I am super proud of you guys. You followed your heart and it led you here. You can never go wrong with it. Appreciate all your support, and you can always count on mine too.
10,000 is nearby. I would screeeaaaammmm!. haha
Congratulations on your 5,000+ subscribers and you guys are doing awesome job.
Really enjoy watching you guys and thanks for explaining more about what brought you to Mexico and it totally makes sense.
This is exactly why we moved to El Salvador and can't wait to go back there again for good. And yes, the media is really scaring everyone from traveling to El Salvador too. Too dangerous, but really we have not seen anything.
I had not realized how fast you talk until I tried to put subtitles in your video. I think I only completed about two minutes. I wish I had more time.Maybe in a collective effort the subtitles will be completed. Mucha suerte! :D Saludos!
Hahahahaha
Thanks for attempting to add subtitles :) If you go to our channel and click on "Videos," you can look for the ones with a "CC" below it. We've already gone through and added English subtitles to those, so on those, you'd just need to translate our English subtitles into Spanish rather than try to figure out exactly what we're saying. That might make it a little easier on you.
I see. I have already added subtitles for one of your videos. It was easier checking your english subtitles. I hope there will be more views from mexicans on your chanel. Saludos!
excellent @tangerinetravels67 congratulations that enjoy your trip when you have your chance to enjoy the beautiful city of mexico and enjoy its culture and its beautiful people ... greetings
Yay! Well done guys . I see that you've already passed the initial followers target. So sorry that I've not been following on the latest updates. Glad you guys took the Patreon idea. I would join the Patreon now. KeepSteeming @tangerinetravels.

Nice, Patreon Can definitely help you guys out! Had one of those up for a band of mine awhile back.
For me...Steemit has been much more successful tho than my Patreon experience, however....I feel like with what you two are up to...It's a bit more conducive and it will probably yields some great reward...especially if have the right supporters perks: like more side boob..Jordan I'm talking to you ;)
