Hey y'all.
For those of you not in the know, writing commissions and my Patreon are my only current sources of income. Seeing as I live in Portugal, I'm actually in a far better financial situation that a great many of my peers, given the sudden lack of jobs and massive financial strife that resulted from the Covid-19 epidemic, and for that, I am truly grateful towards all of you.
This, however, brings us to a rather uncomfortable topic: money.
Come September, there is a genuine possibility that I might land a job as an HR intern in a large company, which would serve as the necessary job experience for me to get my license from the Portuguese Psychologist's Association; an investment in my future, since I did get a Master's in Clinical Psychology for a reason after all. However, this is not a guarantee; if I do not get the job, I'll have to file for status as an independent worker... which then means I would have to start paying towards Social Security.
Basically, I'm either going to have less time to work on commissions, or going to have to start putting money aside for expenses each month. Regardless of the outcome, I come to you with a simple question:
Would you be willing to accept a pricing change to 0.015$/word, or 15$ for 1000 words?
This DOES NOT affect anyone on the queue or the waiting list; in fact, assuming the pricing goes up, I'd go so far as to leave a cut-off point in said list to make it fair for those who already stated their intent to purchase a commission from me. I merely want to know what your opinion on this is.
Make yourselves heard in this poll: https://strawpoll.com/brus7ko6h
And/or in the comments below.
Thank you once again for sticking with me these past few months. They've been the best of my life so far.
Respectfully,
- Mavor
