At ITS, we work hard to bring you high quality articles, videos and podcasts that empower you with knowledge and skills to prevail against threats and explore the world around you. As we grow our video content, we’ve rolled out a new way for you to help support us with Patreon.
We’ve been pushing further with our video production and have some awesome goals to grow it, including moving into 4k video, hiring a full-time video editor and taking our Gear Tasting show on the road! With Patreon, your contribution allows us to provide you with extra perks in exchange for your support.
Why Join Patreon?
Our fans mean everything to us and we don’t take your support lightly! We wanted a way to get you even more involved in what we do and to give back a little. Your Patreon funds help cover production costs, paying people involved and the traveling involved in continuing to create compelling new videos!
As a patron, you can choose a dollar amount of your choice to support us each month. This is completely optional and adjustable at any time. Depending on the level you choose at sign up, you’ll get access to the Patreon activity feed with exclusive updates, sneak peeks and discussions, as well as some awesome perks!
Many have asked specifically about what the difference is between supporting what we do with an ITS Membership and now in supporting us on Patreon. They’re just different avenues for support and we certainly value your support in any way, shape, or form. Patreon just allows us to specifically target our audience on YouTube and offer them a way to support us that many are already familiar with. Our ITS Membership isn’t going anywhere and still offers different perks, like discounts in the ITS Store and access to our Vendor Discount Program.
Special Perks for Patrons
There are three levels of support through Patreon and below we’ve listed the perks behind each level including ITS Patrons, The Goon Squad and the Black Works Division.
ITS Patrons
Our first level of support allows you to directly contribute to us growing our video content and you’ll always have our sincere appreciation for your patronage.
As an ITS Patron, you’ll also receive access to our email newsletter, allowing you to be the first to know about product releases and ITS news!
The Goon Squad
Our Goon Squad members will get access to some awesome benefits, including access to our community feed where you can talk to other fans and allow us to correspond with you.
You’ll also receive access to view our weekly ITS HQ Vlog #TheITSLife!
Black Works Division
Our most popular Patreon level, Black Works Division Members enjoy all the perks of The Goon Squad, but gain even more access into the inner circle! Black Works members also receive an ITS Murdered Out Morale Patch and matching Black Works Division Rocker Patch.
Those Black Works members that support us for 12 continuous months will also receive and ITS Black Works Chevron to denote a full year of Black Works Patronage. It will be sent in December with an ITS Christmas Card. That’s not all though, as Black Works Division members receive exclusive invites to ITS Meet Ups and Events, as well as a monthly Black Works Briefing For Your Eyes Only! Our second briefing takes place next Friday and we had a great turnout for the first one!
Thank You
ITS wouldn’t exist without the tremendous amount of support from you, our readers! We’d like to thank each and every one of you for your support through the years. We’re very excited for the future of our video content like Gear Tasting and we’d love for you to join us on Patreon and help that future become a reality!
