NEW PATREON UPDATES!!! (Patreon)

Hello all!

This is a post just to inform you all, firstly welcome to all new patrons, AND...I've made some changes to my patreon profile.

1) MP4 AND AVI files now! - Some of you might know this one but based on feedback by mobile clients unable to use avi files I now convert the finished movies into MP4 as well as AVI files. AVI works well on computer while the mp4 is great for taking around on a mobile or tablet. So...files from now on will be in both formats, older videos are still in avi at the moment.

This is because of the following exit feedback:  ('I am not tech savvy. I couldn't make whatever downloads I was led to work on my player. Good luck to you.')

2) Welcome note now has a link to everything -

The welcome note you now receive upon signing up has the link to 'where you can find everything post', the same post that is the ONLY POST PINNED on my POST page at the top. This is so you can bookmark it and know where everything is.

This is because of the following exit feedback: ('His step it is complicated and his videos are AWFUL')  

3) Annual Membership enabled with 16% discount (max I am allowed to discount!) - I have now enabled ANNUAL membership, I.e. you can pay for 1 years worth of any tier all up front, doing it this way also enables you to an automatic 16% discount, the max patreon allows me to give, the equivalent of 2 free months!!! Unfortunately it is new patreons, but you could cancel and then pay for it but I'm not sure if it would charge you again, up to you.

This is because some people (like myself) LOVE to pay upfront and then not have to worry about cash flow per month, partial refunds are of course enabled so at any time you can cancel this and receive money owed, so if you had 7 months left and you cancelled you'd get that 7 months worth back. I wanted to give you the choice of whether you want to pay monthly or in one go.

4) Currency conversion enabled! - If your country uses EURO, GBP or USD, you can now pay in your own currency rather than have to pay conversion fees, I have to pay 2.5% if I receive and cashout any currency that is not USD. You should also be able to see exactly how much it would be in your currency.

This is because I wanted it to be more upfront and transparent about what you are paying and, unless I am mistaken, I will now have to pay conversion charges to withdraw, rather than you paying when you pledge (not 100% sure on that).
