Important: Patreon Monthly Sketches?
5 years ago
Hello there, thanks for clicking.
I'm in a bit of financial trouble, so I'm considering opening a Patreon. I'd offer monthly sketch rewards for 30 bucks, and access to exclusive sketches, WIPs and such for smaller pledges.
Would anyone of you be interested supporting me that way? Before I do it, I would like to test the waters and see if people are positive about that idea.
Comments are appreciated. Greetings!

From there, take into several different aspects of your normal commissions, such as:
- Frequency of each type of *submitted* commission ideas
- Frequency of each type of *accepted* commission ideas
- Average time needed for each type of commission
- Average price of each type of commission
- Overall “price versus time” for each type of commission
It’s a lot, yes, but I would think this is a great place to start with your standard pledge tiers. Keep in mind what more you’re offering for each new pledge tier.
Above all else, however...
Don’t promise things you aren’t certainly able to follow through with.
And if you go for Patreon, make sure you put minimum bid to 5$ or more. I heard that less than that and its pretty much pointless as you lose from fees too much (someone correct me, if they know better).
But if you wanna try, go for it n.n Even if you can't get to your goal, you can fill it up with commission slots as needed. It'll grow overtime~
