Once again, thank you, everybody, for listening to this podcast, to my videos, enjoying my lessons.
We've got lots of free lessons and I couldn't do it without your help.
By being a sponsor, by being a patron, And not only can you get some ownership in these lessons, but you can help me out.
And I do need the help.
So once again thank you so much. If you want to sponsor me and these podcasts in my lessons, please visit here www .patreon .com and you can donate a dollar a month.
That's enough. If you've got more than a dollar, excellent, five dollars a month.
That would be outstanding.
And what Patreon does is at the end of every month, sometimes at the beginning of the next month, they will take that $1 or $5 or whatever your amount is, they will take it out and they'll do it once a month.
And it comes to me, actually, I think basically about 70%.
It depends, but not all of it comes to me because they're a business, but that comes to me and you know one dollar yeah, it doesn't really do anything, but we've got right now about a hundred and fifty patrons just like parsnippen and Pernole and Nadir and Evgeny and Where's the other one?
