Am I doing something wrong as a Patreon Creator? (Patreon)

I wanted to ask, simply because I've noticed others who write fics and other stories on this site that seem to make quite a bit more than me.

Noticing that, I also noticed that a few of them lock their newest content behind a $10/month paywall. But that seems to work for them as one writer that I saw just yesterday was making over $8,000/month.

Naturally, almost 2/3rds of my own amazing Patrons are at the $1/month Tier here. So, it would feel wrong to suddenly raise prices or lock them out of things that they previously had access to.

But what better people to ask about things like this than my Patrons themselves?

So, my friends and fans, what do you think we could change to improve? Both financially and for your own experience/enjoyment as my Patrons. Should I remove the limit on some of the Higher Tiers? Should I get some other method of enriching the stories going with your help an input? Fanart is an option...but that costs money too. I'm sure you all have thoughts and ideas.

I wouldn't be where I am without you all, so I want to hear from you! What do you all think? Is there a way to increase your enjoyment and the financial earnings?

Is what I'm doing now inefficient or am I not valuing myself enough? (I know I've had issues with that in the past.)

I can't wait to hear from you all! Let me know what you think!
