Patreon Rewards Ahoy!
10 years ago
Hey everyone,
So I'm finally getting sick with myself and my lack of motivation to try and get somewhere in life, you ever feel that way?
Anyway so I'm going to try and see if I can start myself a lil' patreon account. First off DON'T worry guys, I'm not going to be like some assholes with patreon accounts who draw pictures only to tease their watchers with censored versions of which they can only see the full version by being a patron or something like that. This is going to be purely a tipping service, a way for you guys to either show your appreciation, and or support my car art and ensure I keep making more of it.
Anyway, the biggest scary thing that's stopped me from making one so far is the whole rewards part. Not that I don't want to give out rewards for my patrons, hell no. But honestly.. it's that I really have no idea what to really offer! It's probably partly my own low self-esteem, but I can barely imagine anyone wanting to give me any money anyway, especially for stuff they can see for free. So it's hard to imagine what I could POSSIBLY offer as incentive. It doesn't help looking at other people's patreons either since well.. nothing THEY offer would really be anything I'd be too thrilled about either.
So I guess I thought the best people to ask would be the people I'm targeting! If you could get any kind of special privileges from me for a small fee, what would you feel was worth the money? I hate feeling like I'm ripping people off.
I've seen people offering admittance to live-streams? Would anyone REALLY want to sit and watch me draw for an hour or so? XD I still don't know how to set up furstream.. gah. Maybe a base reward could be a discount on commission prices? Or something else related to discounts like maybe one free commission every other month or something? Though I could see that getting a bit out of hand if I got a lot of patrons. :T Maybe access to more fail drawings or sketches I don't ever plant to put up cuz I think they suck? Or maybe just the ability to suggest new drawings to me? >> Not that anyone can't already do that.. huff
I'm grasping at straws guys, can ya help out? <: D

also, " I'm not going to be like some assholes with patreon accounts who draw pictures only to tease their watchers with censored versions of which they can only see the full version by being a patron or something like that" nice
I guess discounts, raffles, maybe a theme suggestions thing ( I was gonna use that in my Patreon),
Raffles? I like the theme suggestion idea though.
Raffles, yeah, you could say have a certain tier of patron all get entered into an art raffle each month or 2 months. etc
sometimes it is good to livestream drawing (mostly just so it is something to play in the background while playing a game)
though your discounts would be a good idea, maybe (if possible) make whatever the donation is as a price off next commision sales (i.e someone pays $5 a month, after about six months they will be able to get a "free" commission worth $30, or $15 for a $45 commision
maybe "patreon donators" can get accsess to "scrap art" or the art "not good enough" to upload
maybe the higher tiers could have like a comic commision based on their character
i donno throwing ideas at the wall to see if they stick
Tho I still wish you good luck with figuring this out ;-;
