Sneak Peek: Youtube Channel Membership Badges! (Patreon)

Just a quick sneak peek for you, Patrons! 

(Badges by NnoroniDesign!)

More goodies are on the way! Youtube only allows four emotes to start, which I didn't know until I went to poke around and set up membership stuff behind the scenes, but more can be unlocked as membership numbers grow.

Other updates: I'm still anxiously waiting on my custom emotes (current ETA from the artist: between August 9-31) and in a few days, we'll know which sidekick design wins the Patron vote! I'm really excited about that. 

I'm also waiting for support to contact me about some issues with integrating a merch shelf on youtube, but that should be sorted in a few days I hope. 🤞 If it doesn't work out for whatever reason, I'll be looking at alternate merch store possibilities like RedBubble. It'll be a bit of a trade-off: the merch will be much cheaper (yay!), but the store won't be integrated with youtube (boo!)

The biggest thing I'm fretting about at the moment is deciding the price for memberships. My gut says to make 'em cheap (like somewhere in the $.99-$1.99 range?) as they won't have many perks and they're meant to be a Patreon alternative for supporting the channel. Youtube takes about half of any money sent to a creator on their platform, so I'd be receiving maybe fifty cents on low priced memberships, but...idk. 

I think it might be nice to have a really cheap tier so as many people as possible can interact using emotes and get badges and such. I'm not really expecting to make bank through memberships (I'd have to charge an exorbitant amount to do so!), this is more of a fun little extra. Plus, the more members, the more emotes! I'll think about it.

All right. Welp, I'm going back to work on the next Summer Refresh audio. Hopefully it'll be in early access by tonight/tomorrow! See ya soon!
