Falling off in slowmo (Patreon)
Content
Ok guys, so remember how I've commented before about my Patreon campaign being steadily declining in the past few years? well, after the first half of 2024 I can confidently say that this trend has remained trending down!
Best case scenario, it's stagnant. And it even went down suddenly and significantly on the past month for some reason (<--actually clueless about why). That tells me that any changes and tweaks I made to my campaign in the past years made absolutely no difference on the revenue, despite any efforts me and my awesome assistants/mods have made (btw thanks dudes! it's not your fault whatsoever).
Anyway, far from being negative about it, this means to me that I should stop overthinking about what to draw and what rewards to offer, and just switch these support campaigns into glorified tipjars. I'll go with the flow and see what happens on the following 6 months, since all the numbers kept going down regardless of whatever I changed on the rewards.
I know I've talked about these supporter campaign issues with you guys at least once a year, but I think it's important to evaluate things often to see if there's improvements to make. And since all the things I've tried have failed, guess I'll just do the opposite and try nothing.
Well, I guess I'll simplify the tiers once again, to just support > voting > creative input, and that's it. Sorry about that, but at least you won't need to change anything on your end.
I'll finish Himerangers, Bimbo Jelly from Suggestbox, and then go back to Plumbers+Princess episode 2. Besides those, I'll just draw random things like my muses (mostly nintendo gals), my OCs, and other random ideas I want to make.
I know it may sound bitter, but I'm actually looking forward to change things without worrying too much about growing, and see what happens.
Rest assured, I'll keep drawing anyway!
(gotta clarify I'm not sad or mad, despite sounding bitter, I'm actually more relaxed to have a more simple path ahead)
