A Couple Things (Patreon)

Hey gang, I'm working on your submitted requests and should have a few ready to post soon! Sorry that my turnaround is kinda slow right now but I've been trying to rest and keep my body moving as much as possible without taxing my lungs and stamina (which is already pretty low thanks to the fatigue that comes with pulmonary embolism). This downtime has given me time to pause and think about how to make my Patreon seem more tempting to potential supporters that also won't become a stressful situation for myself.

FIRSTLY:

I've been looking at my payout and patron manager and there are a couple...discrepancies. I'm sorry, I know times are tough but a couple patrons somehow haven't been charged and have been ''supporting'' me for a couple months now. I rely on Patreon and commissions to supplement my income. My income is from SSI (Disability) which is like the monthly wage of a part time employee at minimum pay. So I can't afford to have people getting content virtually for free on my Patreon. At the end of this month I will be removing patrons who support total is 0$ and have had access to my Patreon posts for a minimum of 2 months. Again, I understand times are tough but it's not fair to say you'll support me at "__" amount each month and somehow haven't paid anything (don't worry if you just signed on as a supporter and have yet to be charged, it's why I'm waiting for the next pay cycle to go through). The money I earn here and with commissions pays for rent, bills, and goods.  


Secondly:

I'll be revising the rewards to properly reflect the tier. I want them to be fair but I don't want them to become a future potential burden to me as an artist. Just to state this here, I'm not getting rid of any, per say, just gonna rework how it works per tier. I'm also gonna change the tier names to reflect my comic better (which I'm so desperately trying to get started OTL).


Now, if any of you have some suggestions as to what you'd like to see more of, please list it below! I do really value your input since you guys are my biggest supporters. If you're shy to voice an opinion in the comment section, feel free to dm me!

Okay, I think I've taken enough of your time today. I hope everyone is doing well wherever you are.
