Future of Gold teir Rewards (a discussion) (Patreon)
Content
So this is mainly directed to the Gold tier members as lately i have been thinking alot about the Commission rewards for them and ill be honest, its getting harder to complete all 10 sets every month
At the start I thought I could do it and things were going ok but after some slip ups and then delays became common and even now I'm pushing myself more than I should need to, to make sure I'm getting them all done before the end of the month.
I want to be as transparent as possible, as so frequently i find myself stressing to get the sets done i feel i rush them to much not giving you the quality work you deserve, now please dont think this is the cause of people asking to complex things, its not that its more the shear volume of work that needs to get down every month, 10 sets of 3 is 30 images per month, making it so majority of the time im working on these pieces and i dont want you to think this is a bad thing
The last thing i want to do is complain and sob “oh woe is me i have to much support” thats not me
I am so grateful to every single one of you for helping me and i want to give you the best i can, but sadly there are only so many hours in a day and my hands can only move so fast so corners have to be cut witch i really don't want to do, but when every day my hands are cramping getting numb and im very often running on 4 hours sleep i feel there is an issue.
So i want to propose some potential changes to the Gold tier reward system, now this isnt a thing that will happen straight away i just want to bring up why i'm thinking about these changes so they arnt just coming from nowhere and i want your Opinion on solutions.
My ideas are
1) to lower the amount of characters or pics, potentially down to 1-2 characters from 4 or 1-2 pics from 3, this cuts down alot of the work load with this and lets me spend more time on the pics making them look better, only big con in my eyes for this one is that its harder to do a sequence with 2 pics, i chose 3 in the first place as i thought thats the perfect amount for if people wanted to do a sequence
2) to lower the limit to Gold tier, this would definitely make less work but im not the biggest fan of this idea as it cuts off people who already support me and just over all eh dosent feel good but in some way could be necessary
3) this idea is to raise the price of the Gold tier (this will go in hand with some ideas i have in accordance with Commision price changes but that will come latter)
It wouldn't be a large price increase. I'm thinking of bringing it from $10USD to $15USD or maybe $20 but no more, this wouldn't decrease my workload but I would be getting alot more support from this.
Those are the major ideas i have about the Gold Comms, remember this is just a conversation not a declaration, i want to hear your ideas and thoughts on this and be honest if you think something is wrong let me know, i want to give you the best services i can
Last thing i want to be is a downer and im sorry if this bums you out but i feel i should bring it up so if changes do happen they don't come out of nowhere and you all can know whats going on
