Hi everyone, 

First off, welcome new Patrons! Lovely to have you here! Secondly, I'm getting a bit carried away with the "goals" feature on Patreon. 

Basically, I'm always getting new ideas for projects and how to build on the content I'm creating but often I don't have the capacity to actually act upon these things - time/money and all that jazz. 

It occured to me that if I have an idea that I'm serious about but currently can't add it to my endless list of projects I could put it as a Patreon goal. In the crudest of terms (but I am an advocate for talking about money!) more Patrons = more money. More money = more resources to build my team, outsource tasks and start new projects! 

So the idea I had recently was to change the $5+ tier reading list to weekly, instead of monthly. This is very ambitious for me because that will take a lot of time to research, curate and write each week. 

I also like the idea of making it a Pleasure Trove newsletter (I know the current reading list covers lots of themes, not just sex, which I would still continue but having more of a Pleasure Trove focus). It being weekly, means that with the news/articles it feels a lot more relevant and timely. And then the video series of Pleasure Trove comes out every month or two and is a highlights of the Pleasure Trove patreon weekly lists. 

But like I said I don't have time to commit to this right now. Which is why I like the idea of putting it as a Patreon goal, it's basically saying - if I can afford it, I'lll do it.

So my questions to you... (specifically to those at the $5+ tier and enjoy the reading list):

- is this idea something that you might be interested in?

- should I put it as an official goal?

- what should be the earlier goal - HanDan podcast or Pleasure Trove weekly?

Thanks for constantly being my focus group and sounding board! Seriously, much appreciated.

I like the idea of the weekly list as, like you said, articles would be more relevant/current (a lot can happen in a month!). Plus people then have to read whenever they like whether they want to be super up to date or not.

For me I like both ideas but without a doubt would be more interested in the HanDan Podcast before the weekly treasure trove if there is a choice.

I like the idea, but in the end I think I had a hard time to keep up reading. Though it would depend on how many articles etc are covered in the reading list. I'd appreciate it, if you'd do a weekly list but I'd prefer the podcast as well and wouldn't be disappointed if you'd end up not doing the weekly lists. 😉

I agree with everyone above in that weekly newsletters are super interesting but I probably wouldn’t be able to keep up with them

Maybe a bi-monthly newsletter would be a compromise? Or even monthly, might be more regular than the videos and thus more timely, even if it’s not weekly

My initial thought was to instead compromise/middle ground with a bi-monthly newsletter cause I wouldn't read everything every week but every other week would be a lot more manageable. But overall I love the idea of making your stretch projects into goals so that you're only adding on these new things when you actually have the capability (aka money to bring on support) to do them. And I echo what other folks say about preferring a HanDan podcast to the bi-weekly reading list.

I love the HanDan Podcast, I'm super keen for it, which makes me think if you do the Pleasure Trove thing it should be before the Podcast - the Podcast is more in demand so it makes sense to have it as the patreon goal furthest away, it gives more people more incentive (this may be mean of me, but I feel like it makes sense). I would probably read a weekly reading list etc, but I'm more than happy with something every 2 weeks or having a reading list and a separate specifically Pleasure Trove list that both came out monthly (perhaps monthly but 2 weeks apart, so we get something every two weeks but you don't have two deadlines simultaneously?).

oooooh way to throw a spanner in the works Caz with your different logic!! hmmmmmm lots to think about

I think doing the reading weekly is a great idea as long it isn't too much like a few each week. The Pleasure Trove should be every 2 weeks but hey thats my view. Also think HanDan Podcast is great idea.

Agreed, I like the HanDan idea more, which is why the Pleasure Trove/reading list stuff should come first! I am also really keen to read new things weekly and have it be integrated with your videos (like the monthly roundup). Unless you feel like weekly is too much for you, then don't make too much work for yourself!!

I think podcast is harder to make and it requires Dan's time as well, so it should be more expensive goal. About newsletters, current newsletter takes me a lot of time to read, I would certainly appreciate if it was split in 2 or 3 shorter letters, so it would take less time to catch up.

Hi! I guess it’s not the winning opinion here, but as a sex nerd, I would loooove a pleasure trove reading list ( more than the podcast to be honest ^^). It wouldn’t need to be weekly though cause that seems like a lot of work for you, I would already be super happy with one every 2 weeks :).
