How my Patreon will work... (Patreon)
Content
Here are a few things to know on how Patreon works and how my page will operate:
- Patreon charges you on the first of every calendar month.
- Access is given out after being billed.
- Patreon lets you charge either a monthly charge or on a 'per post' basis.
- The pledge you make to me is on a 'per post' basis. This allows me to keep prices low and enticing.
Here's why...
The idea is that I do not have enough unreleased material (all of it is available on Deviant Art at the moment, with a couple bonus pics on Tumblr and Flickr) to charge a 20$/month for 'all my stuff'
By keeping the price low, people who want to follow me and get the latest stuff can do so at 1$ per post (of 5-10 pictures), with access to up to 5 sets, the older ones being rotated out as new ones come out. Since I aim to post around 4 sets per month on average, this means for a whole month, it could cost you up to 4$. Pretty reasonable.
The second tier is self-explanatory. It will start to have proper value after 5 sets have been posted and you then get access to all retired sets as well, on a good month, it could cost you up to 8$.
The 5$ tier gives you all the bells and whistles and would possibly cost up to 20$/month.
So the idea behind the 'per post' method is to keep costs low while they can still reach the 20$ mark some Patreons have for their 'everything' tier. And the beauty of this is if I post less, it just costs you less.
