Patreon comments or suggestion?
10 years ago
Greetings folks!
I was having a big ass dilemna yesterday, wich I'll breakdown to you.
I started to fare pretty good on that Patreon thingy, but it seems since 3 months, I kind of get stuck on the 325-50$ line, I get merely one new backer per month, or even lose it a few while after.
I'm aware I'm not offering a lot right now on it. I mean you could get those folios I make for free (for 10$ backup) if people follow me on there instead.
My first objective with the project was to slowly buildup and transfer my folios buyers to my Patreon as backers, and eventually back up enough so folios could get free eventually to the public (past a certain milestone). Sadly, I'm still making a lots of sales out of Patreon and just making ''free folios'' isn't advantageous for me, especially when it comes to put bread on the table.
So guys, I'm about to change my Patreon eventually, with lower tier rewards and more products instead of folios. I'm aware 5$ for a feed of sketchs is a bit much, especially since we're not allowed to put adult stuff in there.
Keeping in mind flashes are coming (I've been talking a lot with Mittsies lately! ;P)
feel freee to suggest whatever sounds good in terms of rewards based on ILLUSTRATED products I could offer!
Have a good one! :3

And I think I suggested commission raffles on the patreon a while back.
In my opinion, the point of Patreon is ''supporting'' artists in what they do already, not giving them more job ''on the side'', especially in commissioning things that might onflict with their public interest or original products.
Another factor that might be in play is that (from the US at least) your blogger shop charges 10 CAD and the patreon charges 10 USD for folios the exchange rate makes the patreon more expensive,
adding exclusive bonus content to the patreon folios might help incentivise people to use it.
