Current state & the future of this patreon (Patreon)
Content
It’s been 33 weeks since I started, and I wanted to do an update on my current situation. To cut to the point; after doing some calculations it turns out I run about €80 short every month. This is combined with the fact that I seem to have hit the ceiling on my current business model. I am gaining more patrons, and at the same time I am losing total patreon dollar amount monthly.
Money calculations:
$540 donations put in on august translates to a $483 displayed on the top of the page. This amount after conversion to euros and with paypall fees turns to €408. My monthly costs like rent/food is €490.
(But let it not be known that I am ungrateful. $540 holy shit you guys!! I’m just making sexy art XD)
The future of this patreon:
To counteract this loss of money I will have to take action. Currently I am opening myself up to commissions ( https://funkybunnsfw.tumblr.com/post/171140722373 if you are interested) at least to keep me afloat till the comic ends. I might also have to skip doing comic work once monthly if it gets rough.
After the comic ends I will look into changing the patreon business model; including different tiers and rewards, focusing less on a single big comic project, and more on smaller interesting interactive stories. (I am open for ideas on how to make patreon incentives more interesting).
I am also looking into taking a ~10 hour part-time job to essentially double my income. This will cut into my art hours, but is a necessity at this point as I haven’t been able to afford any comfort item for the last half year.
I will not be going away any time soon.
I am still very positive about the future of this patreon and I have too much good stuff in my head! But I will be working on making this job more doable
Thank you all for the amazing 33 weeks of sexy! I wouldn’t have been able to do this without you <3
