weekly talk 182 (Patreon)

Hello there!

So what's new?

Workflow:
This week ll work on June sketch rewards!
Lot of blowbangs, gonna be fun!
I think i'll start to do a big tream and do several b/w sketch first, see if i work faster this way then doing multiple different one.
Can sound stupid, but actually could save a bit of time. I'll start one tonight and see how it go. I think i might host it on the patreon discord! So jump in when you see the notification!

Holidays:
Hollyday is here, well, even for me. Just that i'll take a week in around the 10 July, to go with friends, enjoying some time with everyone before going back for a working summer ^^
If i work well should have finished all June reward by then, And maybe a bit more of the previously due rewards of the year.
Idea is mid July to be done with all, free to take comms again! I'm not in a bad spot in the finance part, but i'm not making that much money that i can put a decent amount on the side atm.
Anyway, soon, me, friends, pool, cold beer, barbecue, perfect holidays with budies in my bag to go with!

The future
To be honest, i really hope the monthly rewards new formula help me get faster.
if not.. i'll have to remove them :/
Just because.. well, could use to make more money. This month.. wasn't productive much, but all i did was past reward due. Couldn't take one comm in the middle. And it means this month lived only with the patreon money.
Seems ok, but 600€ isn't that muich to live in France. I got some state help and reduced rent, so it work fine.
But for exemple, if it wasn't made out of reward, the amount i draw, but 100% commissions, would mean between +300 or +400€ of money per month ^^
Well, If i had as much commissions. It's the reason why i prefer the reward, it come each month. Sometimes peoples drop it, but it's rare that  i loose 100 of monthly fee in a same month X)
So my two option would be simple. OR i up my price on the patreon.
Or i cancel the rewards and take more commissions more often.
Also, for now i'm in my first year of company activity. To help me growtch, i pay only 50% of the taxes.
Mean next year, i would pay more, i would have to increase commissions prices to equilibriate...
And i'll increase the patreon reward then.
That is a certitude.
So it's why i don't want to increase it now. Would mean upping the price every 6 month?
A bit greedy in my opinion.
Anyway, still got to think it over!
Those are just tough and issues i see in the future.
And as i want to be 100% transparent i prefer to lay them here.
Also, you know me for long for most of you, for the new comers.. i'm the type to stress for anything. So if i sound stressed as fuck,it's normal

So to resume: Next year gotta up my prices to go with tax increase!
NOT NOW
If you ask me "when will you do it? Next month" i'll know you didn't read it all ! =D
When then? Dunno myself, certainly end of the year, for now we have a nex system, gotta focus on it.
If the new system don't save me time, i might or Cancel it for good, Or increase price before new year tough. But that ll depend on how fast i work.
Got to remember me i'm supposed to do sketch! XD

Voila, it's a lot, but it crossed my mind, and wanted to lay it out. At least it won't be a surprise for those taking the time to read!

if you want to drop a comment, lay your feeling, or just propose alternative, fell free in the comment section! I can't promess i'll do as you said/proposed, but might give me ideas!

Ok folks, thanks for reading this far

and c ya soon!
