Campaign for a better patreon (Patreon)
Content
Hello! I've decided to write something I was thinking about in terms of the patreon. I am very interested in growing this platform. I think turning my patreon more into a pseudo salary, and commissions being more of a safety net/excess money thing would be ideal for my future. What is my plan to do that?
1. Aggressive plugging: I am very shy about my patreon. I'll meekly link it when I post my work, but I should be posting about how it exists and how people should join waaay more often.
2. More exclusives: I just always have commissions, so it can be kind of difficult to catch up on stuff I owe, but I think the $5 tier being the go to tier for exclusive benefits will be a good thing for me to actively promote. Pay comics, or stories with illustrations I think could be a cool thing to sell to the $5 tier. I also think this being a place where you can see more original non commission work from me whether it be exclusive or early would be cool.
3. New tiers: I was thinking of perhaps a tier that would give people a discount on commissions, or even allow people to book spots during art slave or other stream sales. I'm still thinking about things I can offer and what to do with it, but it has a lot of potential.
4. POSTING MORE: Maybe the most important thing. I want to be posting 4-5 times a month if not more with something, even if its just to engage users. I don't know if I should have monthly questions or what to increase this, but its something I am thinking about.
5. GOALS. Lets try out first goal! $200 by the end of January!
Anyways, I know i've spoken about similar stuff before, but I am more and more seriously finding myself thinking about this subject and how it needs doing. Do you all have any suggestions with what I've said?
