Tier thoughts
🕑 Added 2024-11-09 00:53:47 +0000 UTCDISCLAIMER:
I WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING FOR THE TIME BEING, this vote is to get the idea out, not to vote for an immidate change, i will let you know in advanced if any changes are planned, but i want to open a discussion about it. And hopefully you can help me figure out what's best.
I want to ask you for opinion and thoughts about the tiers. Right now it's 100% open for people to choose what they want between 1,3 & 5$. At the end of this text i will give the reason why i did it this way. In any case, you will decide if any changes are made in the future, i want to let you guys make the decisions, i won't force anything into you. Also, as time goes on i want to expand the rewards, that's something worth taking into account, that might affect how tiers are managed.
As i see it there are three options:
A: We don't change anything and hope for the best. This means eventually we'd need 2-3k people, which is a lot of people even for 1$ tiers.
B: We remove all options, leave a 3$ all in one tier.
(This was my initial plan, but right before opening the patreon my dumb ass changed it to what it is now, and now i'm insecure about my ability to make a living out of it because of the 1$ tier).
C: We divide rewards in tiers. This one is likely the smarter one for a creator, most likely i'd make much more money out of this one, but as i said, i want to make things accessible and simple, i don't want people to feel forced to spend more money for more rewards.
Feel free to comment if you want to offer other solutions or you want to expand on your thoughts.
The reason why i did it this way:
I did this because i wanted to make everything as accessible as possible, making it possible to live out of your support down the line, even when Patreon mentioned i shouldn't do tiers as low as 1$. I still believe in that, and i want to keep things simple and accessible, but i'm afraid i might have went too low and this forcing me to stop doing what i do down the line because not that many people do the effort to go to artists patreon. That's why i truly appreciate those who support me here.

More reason to appreciate your support if that's the case, so really, thank you so much! I hope the situation gets better soon ❤️🩹 I'll try my best to make your time here worthwhile!

I'd be happy paying more, your quality and the amount of versions you do deserves that at least. I'm on the $1 tier because my financial situation has been rocky for a while now :(

Thank you so much not only for the understanding and the kind words, but to have taken the time to write the comment. I'm really glad to hear that you like what i do, to the point of upgrading from the 1$ tier and find a change justifiable. I will try my best to make that feeling last and i will keep trying to offer more and better rewards for your support! I really appreciate everything you and the other supporters do, it really helps a lot <3

I agree!

I voted for option C, but I would be fine with option B as well if that is what other people ultimately recommend! Regardless, I definetly think the $1 option is way too much of steal in terms of both the quality and quantity of the content you produce; you are absolutely justified in charging more. I say this as someone who first subbed to you on the 1 dollar subscription before upgrading to a higher tier because I became so enamored with your art. Whatever option you do decide to do, I definetly think the 1 dollar tier should probably be something you do away with, for your own sake. I agree with jhoslayer that you deserve to make more than a dollar for your work (also, 3 dollars is not that much more expensive than 1 dollar in the grand scheme of things).

I don't deserve you 😭❤️
jhoslayer
You deserve to make money for your work so I'm fine with paying a little extra.
