Hello lovely kinksters -

You're here because you love Wicked Grounds.

Most of you reading this via Patreon are paying members already. Thank you! If that describes you, you can read ahead to find out about the new membership benefits we're making for VIP+ members and other ways to engage. 

But there are three reasons why I'm making this post here: 

- Over 120 of you are subscribed to our Patreon but haven't become paying members yet, and I'd like you to know why it's important to us (and valuable to you!) to sign up

- Many folks may be able to see this, but have had their credit cards decline or have had payment issues on this platform. I want you to see how to engage in other ways and other platforms 

- Some of you want to help in additional ways by making purchases of our classes and gear. I have links for that below. 

Read on for a newsletter in three acts: why we need your membership, significant new benefits for members, and other ways to contribute.

What does Wicked Grounds use this for?

Patreon members allow us to make budget projections and guarantee our overhead costs (like the basic costs of licensing, storage and office space, the software to run our classes - you get the idea.) Your support also allows us to provide sliding-scale and scholarship access to our classes, which benefits not just those attending but everyone in the communities around safer and more intentional players.

Several of our tiers can put your funds directly toward financial accessibility options -- check out the "scholarship" levels for those.

About 35% of our monthly budget comes from our Patreon subscribers. Our Patreon member base is the only reason we've gotten through this pivot so far without laying off any of our hard-working, unionized staff -- or, frankly, going out of business. While we were not able to maintain the significantly higher levels we needed to keep the cafe, we are continuing to build important classes, playshops and events while keeping a wide range of talented staff, instructors and artisans out in the world. We are so grateful for your belief in what we are doing!

What are these new benefits?

Our most popular membership level, VIP membership at $30/month, just got a significant overhaul!

VIPs now get:

  • 10% discount on all merchandise purchased online or in person
  • NEW: Free shipping for all online purchases from WickedGrounds.com
  • NEW: 10% discount on all books and decks from MagickalCrossroads.com
  • Free unlimited Miriam Green classes
  • $10 all you can eat classes from most other instructors
  • and/ or, 60% discount on all you can kink monthly class passes
  • Free admission to Wicked Grounds hosted vendor fairs
  • NEW: 30% discount for all multi-week classes through WickedGroundsAnnex.com
  • NEW: 10% off consulting sessions with Miriam Green
  • NEW: a monthly online salon and "ask me anything" session every third Monday evening via Zoom
  • and the satisfaction of supporting your favorite education & community space. Plus of course you get all our online rewards.

​

You may become a VIP member the old fashioned way at Patreon.com/WickedGrounds.

You may also join and get the same membership benefits via ConvertKit, which is especially useful for those having credit card challenges at Patreon.

We also just added some substantial new benefits to our higher levels, including free monthly consulting sessions and absolutely free access to our multi-week classes from WickedGroundsAnnex.com for the upper two tiers.

But Mir, I'm already a member.

You probably are, but please double check! A significant number of members for Wicked Grounds and other "adult" content creators experienced disruption this year as Patreon continues to try to navigate around SESTA/FOSTA.

Please, if you think you're a member, double check at Patreon. And if you're having trouble, consider trying the ConvertKit alternative.

Once you've confirmed that, maybe go out and tell people why you love being a member with us! That would help immeasurably.

Are there other ways I can support you right now?

Yes, and thank you for asking! Here's the roundup of support links:

I just want to give you $$$

​

I want to buy something - knowledge stuff

​

I want to buy something - physical stuff

​

We hate fundraising, but we LOVE YOU and need to keep going.

About 20% of you reading this are already members. For those who aren't, I encourage you from the bottom of my heart to please join at any level. Don't wait. Do it today, and thank you. ​

Warmly,

Mir
