Patreon Goals
🕑 Added 2020-03-23 06:13:07 +0000 UTCHey all.
So I've been meaning to update my Patreon Goals for a while. I haven't touched them in years now. I've also been wanting to hire a full-time animator for years now.
And over the past few years, I have also seen people level the argument that the reason I don't hire animators is because I'm "too busy being an auteur." And while I do have a strong artistic vision for my work, auteurship isn't the reason why I haven't hired an animator yet.
The reason is a simple one that I think everyone understands: cold hard cash, and the lack thereof.
I finally decided to formally sit down and crunch the numbers though, using data pulled from my last 3 years of operation. And I guess they might as well become the next Patreon goal.
I'll update the goals proper tomorrow. Just thought I'd share.

the cost of the animators salary is deducted from your taxable income and don't forget that you want this person to be a registered corporation or you will have to pay the employer's share of his social security taxes.

Self-employment tax alone is 15.3%. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/self-employment-tax-social-security-and-medicare-taxes

Counting numbers is sometimes really necessary. Well done, you took the time to do this. I think you need an animator

It's hard to run a business. Large or SMALL.
