Updates: IMPORTANT PATREON CHANGES! (Patreon)
Content
Hello dear Yaszies! I hope everyone is doing really well and surviving ok during these eventful times. I have been busy working and studying, or working through my current pile of courses that I recently aquired. Filling that head full of good stuff.
Moving into next month I wanted to make some changes to my Patreon model. I feel that it is much too complex, too many tiers with little difference between them. I also hate having to separate different tiers of followers from being able to see what I am working on and having locked channels. What I would like to do is combine the Bronze, silver and gold tiers under one banner. So that you can all have access to WIPs, watermark free, behind the scenes and all the good stuff, as the $5 tier. Then have the $15 tier as the Special shout out in the credits and in the future model downloads tier. There might be room for one more tier, something like a higher $30-$50 tier or even a low $1 tier still. I am not sure but I would like to simplify things.
None of this is final and I wanted to some opinions as well as express my intent to nuke some of the tiers as there are just too many fo them.
Again do let me know in the comments below or you can always message me directly via Patreon or discord. In the event that your tier does eventually end up being nuked but you do not wish to migrate to a higher level tier, then I will offer you free access to the discord channels untill the end of the year. Whatever it takes to make things easier and more fair for everyone.
EDIT UPDATE:
Following some chats and thinking about it some more, I am currently looking at compressing everything into 3 tiers. The first to see tier at $2, I chose this number as after fees and taxes, transfer fees and such the $1 tier is almost entirely fees and all it does is feeds the system and I don't see any of it. Not trying to be greedy, but it just seems a little bit silly. This will be more or less the same as the current Yaszie tier. There was a few people that wanted to keep the small tier, as I was planning just compressing all tiers in a $5 or so tier. But I like this 3 tier approach too, as long as it's 3 or less total.
Second tier looks to be a $6, which is the WIPS and backstage access tier. It's Silver and gold compressed into one, 6 is 3x the basic tier.
Third tier is the special credit tier and sticking with the 3x theme, will fall at $18. bring the current Diamon and Platinum tiers together. You get the special shout out in the credits for completed longer projects as well as access to any other doanloads I might provide, any models I will list for download in the future.
In a way this means the current Silver, Plat and Boss tiers are getting nuked. Let me know if you have any further suggestions for this. my main aim here is to somplify things and make it easier for both myself and new Patreons to pick the right tiers.
