[Update] Patreon progress + changes (Patreon)
Content
G'day to all you kind peeps supporting my perverted brand.
New month new changes that I've learnt from last months progress. As I am still new to this, working through kinks (and not the sexy kind) I have come across during this Patreon spark.
Giving this notice that I will be reworking some of the tiers to be more focused on providing those that support me with more fun stuff they'd like to see. Trying to refine it.
=Changes=
-Discord server
Adding a discord server to the mix, so peeps won't have to jump on Patreon every time they want to see an announcement or an update. Plus would make it easier to chat and build a lewder community with your peeps.
Tho I haven't done it before, so I might fuck it up every now and again, so bear with me. Gonna try to make it great. or atleast a good chill time where we can all chat about dumb kink stuff.
-----------------------
-($1 Tier) Tiny Hats (removed)
Removing the tiny hat tier for a few reasons, firstly because it didn't offer anything other than it being just general support. And new people coming to Patreon hadn't realized there where higher tiers and a first impression is always good.
-----------------------
-($5 Tier) Lewdy Cap (changing to $3+GST)
Adding GST to the tiers, because I had not thought too much about this as a business/income and more a tip jar. So altering the tier costs to include GST so it is also not overcharging peeps while also meeting requirements.
-----------------------
-($10 Tier) Cheeky Beanie (changing to $8+GST)
Rewards being tweaked, with other tier changes, some refinements with this tier.
-Removing the commission discount and replacing it with another benefit.
+Second round drawing suggestion. (this meaning after the winner of the first one is picked, another poll for the runner up will be voted on as well)
Giving those that didn't win another chance at having their juicy idea made c:
-----------------------
-($15 Tier) Top Hats of Lewd (changing to $13+GST)
This tier... this tier just didn't have enough benefits to warrant peeps jumping on, which is fair. So some tweaking here was needed.
-Patreon Commission discount down to -20%
+Exclusive Monthly comic theme suggestion.
What this means is each Month (hoping to increase it to fortnightly if more patrons) patrons of this tier get to choose the theme for an exclusive comic strip. (example below: Sleep aid + Hypnosis)
A simple comic that's exclusive for that month to give those throwing the doe more bang for their buck (unsure if having the patrons or twitter vote on which gets picked, or if I should have it on a rotation from date of membership of the tier). Also helps me stay in practice into making comics as well.
-----------------------
-($25 Tier) Lewd Royalty (retiring)
Removing this tier for a few reasons that have been building up since it starts.
Let me start by saying that the people that got this tier are amazing and I love the support, but as I'm sure most of them are aware, they don't often cash in on their monthly reward. Either forgetting, not being able to come up with a concept, or not wanting to add more onto my plate <3.
And as sweet as they are for supporting me that much, I'm not one to take without giving. SO! I've decided to retire this tier for now. Maybe sometime in the future, I'll re-open it for exclusive com work. But at the moment I want to make this more a community thing.
(P.S when this tier is removed, those of this tier MUST change tiers (or stop supporting) otherwise patron will still charge you the cost of the tier as if you're still getting those rewards.)
-----------------------
Thank you to everyone that's supported me thus far, hoping to make some more juicy stuff that we all want to see doodled. These changes I'm hoping to implement them in the final week of this month. 23rd of November I'm hoping is enough time for peeps to change around before the next batch of payments.
Feel free to let me know your thoughts on these changes, or even better, if you can hit me up with some help on how to improve my Patreon.
Cheers.
