What's been of me as of late / Question about patreon
11 years ago
General
Well I've been sick for quite a while now, but finally it seems i'm gonna heal finally. Blame the irregular weather we've been having here in mexico and the whole stressful situations here too. Sorry about that y'all.
so I've been seeing patreon, wich gave me an idea (that seems like most guys already apply) wich is preety much "support the artist to get a project done". I've been considering it for a while now. I haven't done it yet cuz i'm a bit behind work still, so may be when i'm a little less pressured, i may do it. but I have a question regarding how to use it.
Would a monthly 5-pages comic do? like a webcomic or something like that. If not, I'm open to suggestions!
thank you for your time and patience guys!

Get well soon...
Me ha ido bien, gracias por preguntar! ^_^ La escuela me ha tenido un poco ocupado nada mas :P
As for Patreon, I've seen people set up incentives and goals. For example, if you are in for $2/month, you get to see comic webpages a week before anyone else, as well as exclusive art. If you're in for $5 a month, maybe exclusive adult-oriented art and comics in addition to lesser perks. If a $500/month total goal is reached, then maybe comic content will go from 2 days a week to 3 days a week. Stuff like that.
It probably couldn't hurt to see what your audience is, what they want, and what they're willing to chip in for. See what other artists are using Patreon for, too, and ask questions on what works and what doesn't.
If you plan to use Patreon, though, you'll probably need to make it into a commitment, since people like to see that the artist they're funding is delivering content. It might also be a good idea to have a content buffer ready to get the ball rolling and to serve as an emergency resource in case life hits you with something random, like a bad flu.
Just stuff I've observed. :) There's probably lots of people out there with ideas or experiences that can help you.
Your initial pledges may be slow, but once you start putting out the work for whatever you decide to make the patreon's project, you'll gain more support.
I think patreon is very very much something you should go for, dude. Feel free to note or email me if you have any questions or anything, I'm here to help however I may be able to. <:3
I am also organizing so the website users can also have access to the dropbox.
