PLEASE HELP!!!! UA-cam does NOT support my channel!! I am permanently demonetised; when people click on my videos, I don't make a single dollar. This channel runs on donations from my viewers for 100% !
The type of content I make is very expensive and time consuming - such as filming the whole life cycles of butterflies and moths in captivity, which takes months of dedication! I am also an independent researcher, conservationalist, moth breeder and hobbyist, and the funds I raise online go towards my videos, my research & breeding projects that promote the importance and our knowledge of insects and other animals - on social media and in reallife! It helps me make videos, and it helps me help the insects I care about!
Consider subscribing to my Patreon for as little as 1$ per month: www.patreon.com/BartButterflies - it massively helps! On Patreon, people can buy a subscription. Patrons also get unique rewards, like voting on content, personal FAQ videos, or participating in my videos once in a while.
Send a single payment through PayPal: paypal.me/BartCoppens - consider it to be like a "tip" if you like my content. Through PayPal you can send a single donation, which will help me produce more videos.
Send a tip through Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/bartbutterflies - through this platform, users can send small finacial "tips" to support their favorite artists or creators.
Want to donate with VISA or Credit Card? This is possible too, via LiberaPay, a trusted online platform. My LiberaPay is here: liberapay.com/BartCoppens/
Did you know that I make custom merchandise such as cards, calendars and more with my moth & butterfly designs? The sales help my channel; find my Etsy shop here: www.etsy.com/shop/BartCoppensMerch
Did you know that on Amazon.com there is a store where you can find ALL the equipment I use and recommend so that you can copy me? My cameras, my breeding equipment, everything! Find my Amazon storefront here: www.amazon.com/shop/bartcoppens
Patrons & People who have donated can expect to see their names in the credits of my videos sometimes, get shoutouts, or participate in events or special FAQ videos - on top of getting my gratitude of course. Your donation helps me research insects, and helps me spread love and knowledge for them world wide!
I allow RANDOM followers to send me RANDOM items to my HOME ADRESS through Amazon Wish List! It's super interactive and fun - you can send me anything from video games, butterfly cages, books, energy drinks, breeding boxes, flower seeds for my butterflies, hot sauce, ramen noodles, silly outfits, memory cards, underwear.. it's crazy and hilarious! It is much more personal than donating money, because YOU decide the item I get!!
** Please Read How it Works Below! **
There are TWO versions of my wish list on Amazon, a Dutch one and an American one. If you order through the Dutch website, the shipping costs are very low, because it is my home country! Sending me gifts through USA Amazon is much more expensive on shipping! However, both websites offer DIFFERENT types of items you can ship to me!
LIST NUMBER 1: (Dutch Amazon) www.amazon.nl/hz/wishlist/ls/134L5M5E1YP6H?ref_=wl_share
LIST NUMBER 2: (American Amazon) www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/21AHE4LYC5SR6?ref_=wl_share
Anything you send me, I will show off on my channel in a video at some point! If you send me books I will read them! They are items I want or need for my channel, but also some silly things viewers can send me to mess with my life!
I have a personal website about breeding moths that I am proud of. It has tips and caresheets for many moth species. Here is the link: breedingbutterflies.com/
