The biggest news: I'll be taking two weeks off starting today
Also:
As you might have noticed, for most releases, I make a time lapse of my work, showcasing the large majority of what goes into it (spanning usually 3-4 days of work), edit it and add in some stuff here and there. I artificially locked them behind a 15 € tier, since I thought it would only appeal to creators.
I have made over 40 at this point, and the fact of the matter is, I track the views on them. And I get one, two views per each of them perhaps? And it does pain me, a lot. Cause I want people to see them.
It's not (only) about the money, everything I've ever made under this account has always been for others to enjoy as much as it was for my own pleasure to make. I want to get them out there.
I've had a couple ideas myself on how to remedy this:
- Lower the price of the Time Lapse tier. It's a no-brainer at this point, and I will do that no matter what. The question is how low will I bring it? I'm still hesitant between 10 and 12 €. The 8 € tier would also be knocked down a peg to keep a decent margin between the two tiers, and avoid any overlap.
- Make the time lapses exclusive to Patrons only for a certain amount of time. That'd go in pair with the previous measure, which is partly why I'm lowering the cost of entry. I was thinking a month would be right, after which they could be viewed freely on my site (can't host on YouTube unfortunately, cause, you know, lewd). I'm not 100% sure on this one yet, since I'd need to rewrite a lotta code on my site, but I shall see.
If you're not in that tier, I'd love to know why. No shame if it's "I don't care"/"I don't have the money"/ "I don't want to spend this much" or anything else that might go this way, I'm genuinely curious. I want to share them with as many people as possible, and earn a little compensation for it still, cause knowledge is power :p
