// UPDATE
As a test as suggested to me, I have created a $2 tier that's basically Basic support without the access to voting in polls.

Hello everyone.

As you all probably remember, after I officially got registered as a business, it brought with it some mandatory fees I must pay a backlog of this month and continuously each or every second/third month from now on.

But, the reality is, no matter how I crunch the numbers, I always come to the same conclusion; after this (hopefully) successful big grind this month, my yearly estimate can change for the greater as an effect. And as neat as that sounds, the harsh reality is that I don't see the demand for my art being around 1500-2000+ PER MONTH CONSISTENTLY to make fees from rent to advance tax to retirement insurance.

One way to remedy this, I thought, would be to make my Patreon a bit more accessible by lowering the tier costs to encourage more monthly support and lower the commission counts to something more realistic. Maybe not to just a dollar, but maybe around 3 or so? And extra tier around 6-7?

But what do you all think? I think I'd have to remake the tiers since you can't edit active ones, but it'd be a slight extra one time cost.

Let me know. I really want to make the business and full time indiependent artist thing work and aid it in any way possible.

Also clarifying, I will notify if and when a change happens, don't worry, this won't be an out of nowhere change.
