Patreon Re-vamp (Patreon)

Hey guys, so slight update for you. I have plans to shake up my Patreon page, however, I want to let you know and see what you think, so please tell me your thoughts. I have something VERY exciting to announce at the end too, so please read till the end. :)

1.

Most importantly I have decided to change my Patreon policy to posting content that's only available for Patrons to see. When I first started Patreon, more than a year ago, I had this somewhat naive idea that if I just continued working, people would support me just fine and my audience would grow, but it seems that my audience of supporters here is not growing at all, despite my workload and outreach with each submission. 

As someone who would really like to escape their meaningless soul-sucking 9 to 5, this is just not feasible anymore. So, I've decided to give you more incentive to support me by keeping my Patreon, Patron-only. 

2.

Secondly, that will mean altering my reward tiers. I'm very open to suggestions to rewards. Though, firstly I'm tempted to remove the middle $5 or $10 tiers. Mainly because I'd rather just have three tiers in total. A starter, opening all content up for you guys, a mid-tier and a top-tier option too. (more on the latter later, because it's cool and you guys might like it)

Tier 1: 

Would stay at $3, as this would give access to all the content I post on here without being overly steep and is what the majority of you guys already pledge me with. 

Tier 2:

(I am still working out) but may be around $8 more or less. Now, the rewards for this one I am not sure of, as I often rely on a large number of you guys to react to polls and votes for projects, this could mean excluding my base Tier 1 audience from having a say on those, which I am not too keen on based on the size and I know most of you like having a say too. 

Rewards that I had in mind for Tier 2 Patrons may be: 

Voting on Draw the Character polls. 

Submitting questions for Ask the Character projects.

Submitting decisions on an Adventure comic (Oh yeah, I'm plotting something baby!)

That said,  I am currently unable to offer these while I have projects on the go, and wouldn't be able to open them until two months from now at a minimum on a monthly basis at least. 

Tier 3:

Tier 3 would stay between $20 to $25 and would include all reward types as listed before but, here's the twist:

I plan to make and print exclusive POSTCARDS (which I will share soon)

Each month top tier Patrons would receive a printed and signed postcard from me (if they wanted one ofc). Featuring a funky redesign of my work.

Now for caution's sake, I have yet to buy a printer and purchase a PO-BOX for this, BUT I have crunched the numbers and it's very doable. I would need no less than 4 supporters monthly to make this happen. Though, do await a peek of the postcards I have made so far before pledging, this is all suggestions so far. 

That said, aside from Mid-tier rewards those are my plans. Do let me know what you think please, it would be AWSOME to get the ball rolling and finally start to be self-employed.

Thanks and much love to you guys. :)
