Looking forward: Content Access (Patreon)

First of all, I have to say thanks so much for all the amazing support so far! I'm very happy to see there's over 130 patrons now, it's pretty exciting to know you guys are awesome enough to help me keep the lights on to continue creating some sexy craziness!

Now, let's talk about content, and how you guys access it. So far, Patreon has been the best way I have been able to find to manage a small subscriber base. On that note, Patreon has been awesome in many regards, although it does have some large pitfalls.

On the pros, I love the platform in the way that it allows me to engage with you guys by just posting back and forth, I think thats the most worthwhile aspect of this place: I can post my thoughts (or a sneak peek piece/ongoing project/exclusive render) here and you guys can check it out, comment on it, give feedback, etc. which is stuff other subscription services just won't offer. Plus, there's milestone goals, which is an interesting approach at growing as a content creator.

Now, the cons. Biggest one obviously being content access, which actually falls into two different issues: waiting around for weeks for Patreon to actually charge your pledge and let me factor it in so I can send access links; and the content access itself, which considering it's dropbox, can get kind of cumbersome with the links, password changes every month, and again, just waiting for the links on your guys' end.

So, on the other hand, I've discovered this service called sendowl. It allows me to setup files, product sales, services, and subscriptions through it, and it seems to be super easy to use on the user end of things. From what I've seen so far, it's as simple as following a link from anywhere I post it to pay/setup a subscription, and you're immediately allowed access to download files.

Long story short, sendowl would allow for instant access to content, either through paying for a specific image set (or comics as I begin creating them), or for a monthly subscription for full access (much like the $20 patreon tier here). So it's something I think will be interesting to allow fast access to my work on a separate platform.

However, I still don't want to let patreon go, since this platform actually allows me to interact with you guys/throw in exclusive freebies for supporters/etc. but of course, I want to hear what you think.

So, with this in mind, I made this survey. If you can take a minute or two to fill it out, it will help a lot in determining what and how I should procede!
