IMPORTANT: Tiers, Polls, and Midweek Moles (Patreon)
Content
So, I've been thinking about my Patreon a lot lately, how to keep it moving forward and how to bring in new patrons and keep the old. So to start, I'm going to be halving all tier prices above $1 across the board! This is will of course result in me losing a large chunk of monthly revenue at first, but I'm confident that it'll work out in the long run. So all my current patrons at this time will be paying far less from now on!
However- and this is very important- Patreon does not allow you to change tier prices while there are patrons subscribed to that tier, so I'll be posting new, half-price copies of the old tiers for everyone to subscribe to accordingly. Once everyone's all comfy-cozy in their new tiers, I'll unpublish and delete the old ones. I'll announce it when this happens, so please keep an eye on your emails and notifications!
The reason for this, and for what I'm about to announce next, is thus:
Over the last several months I've been in a bit of a rut, with the number of new patrons hardly changing, and my focus becoming muddled and hazy. Ultimately, I want my Patreon to be a place where I deliver a steady stream of quality content that's accessible and enjoyable to my viewers.
I really enjoyed Midweek Moleskines, and want to get back into doing something like that again. The trouble is, the reason I put them on hiatus for so long is because I felt like I was making nothing but sketches, with little incentive to make full color pieces besides color commissions. Going back to them feels like a step backward at this point. However, what few polls I've created have been pretty successful thus far, and I really enjoyed the reception they've gotten.
So from here on out, I'll be posting regular polls featuring 3 sketches each, some old, some new, and have patrons vote on them to see which ones will get colored.
