Gumroad, Ko-Fi And Themed Packs (Patreon)

Hello, everyone!

As I said in my last post, here are more details about Gumroad and Ko-Fi.

Over the last months I realized that I don’t want to use Gumroad anymore. There are a couple of reasons for that.

▶ I don’t like the design

▶ I have more and more technical issues

▶ I don’t like the way they handle the fees

▶ I don’t feel like I’m the target audience for this service

I don’t want to say that Gumroad is bad. I just feel like it’s not for me. I kept using it because I had no good alternative. Now that Ko-Fi has a pretty solid shop system, I wanted do make the change.

I’m aware that this might be a financial risk, but it just doesn’t feel right to use Gumroad anymore. And I trust my instincts on this one.

You probably have some questions regarding this change, and I hope I can answer all of them here!

❓ When will you stop using Gumroad?

Purchases won’t be possible after 31.12.2021.

❓ What happens to packs that I already bought or will purchase this year?

You will still be able to access your packs after 31.12.2021. Only new purchases won’t be possible.

❓ What happens to Gumroad exclusive packs?

The exclusive packs will not be available anymore. If you want to buy them, please do so before 31.12.2021. I will focus on making new packs with similar themes in the future.

❓ Where can I buy your packs then?

You can buy them via my Ko-Fi shop or by becoming a patron in the Mondumarmung or Sonnenkuss tier.

Ko-Fi is a great alternative for me because I’m already using it, and it feels a lot more personal. I like that they seem to listen to feedback a lot and work on great new features for artists.

In addition to the shop, I might be using the commission function in the future. But that’s something for a later day.

Before I was setting up my Ko-Fi shop, I read the terms of service. Items with adult content are not allowed, so I was unsure about two of my themed packs. It made me realize that these packs could have been completely “family friendly” if I would have used other underwear. And I only used the more “revealing” underwear because I thought it was necessary for this type of theme (like pin-up). But I remember how restricted I felt and that’s when I decided that I don’t want to do something like this anymore. I will only use the “safer” underwear from now on that allows me to do more dynamic poses. And I think that’s what fits my style the most.

I hope that these changes won’t bother you and thanks for your support!

Have a great day and stay creative! 🌛
