Patreon?
10 years ago
Hey everyone, how are ya doing? :)
So I think I may have spoken about this before, maybe. But I guess I'm really curious, especially tonight because I saw one of the people I watch on FA talking about how surprised they were how many patrons they quickly got.
Anyway, I'm wondering weather or not I should bother to make a patreon or not. I dunno, the whole thing kinda has this stigma about it, like if you make one you're being a leech asking for hand outs. I've got so low self-esteem when it comes to thinking my art even is worth anything that I guess I'd feel like an asshole if I made one. I mean, why pay for something you can get for free right? Though it's not like people haven't payed for stupid things online before, like people buying hair and turds off ebay and stuff... so I dunno.
I wouldn't say the extra money wouldn't help. I'm stuck at a soul-sucking grocery job as a cashier, standing 6 hours a night in agony because of my flat feet. I'm trying to change jobs but.. eh it's going slow. It would help having some extra pennies to give as rent to my mom who's awesome and basically lets me live here on almost nothing.
But I don't know, I mean, it makes me uncomfortable to have people paying me for something I may not even draw. Like people paying weekly for a certain amount of pictures to come out a week. I'm just so bad at procrastination and not getting shit done that I don't want to jip people. I don't even know what kinds of things you guys would even find it worth it to have as 'rewards' and I've yet to figure out how to get fur-stream working for me...
Then again though, I am one of the very few who do car porn, and I even have some stuff that's unique to me like my anthro style I use. So maybe that's worth asking some money for? It's not like I'm forcing anyone to anyway. Maybe it'd work if I did the thing where they pay per-drawing done not on a weekly basis.. then I wouldn't be obligated?
What do you guys think? Would you think about patreonizing me if I made one? Or would I be wasting my time?

If you can think it, then someone will pay you to do it. The only thing you have to do is committ. In lamens terms, if you are gonna shift to the next gear, don't hold down the clutch half way. Hit that clutch, drop it in gear, and enjoy the power that's brought forth to you. I say go for it. It may be small at first, but once you get the hang of It, it'll be worth it
