Possible Patreon Levels?
Posted by Pharo 4 years ago
Hey everyone!
I hope you all had a good weekend and the new week is treating you well so far. I've been giving some thought to a Patreon and have some up with these fancy Tiers! Nothing is set in stone yet but the ideas seem pretty solid and match what I've seen around on other author Patreon's.
Let me know what you think and I'll update you all if/when I get something set-up.

Edit: Tiers have been updated with suggestions.
----------

Looks wonderful so far !!
But are you sure you will be able to keep up with the rewards of the 20$ tier ? And I'm not sure if I got it right. Is it a free commission per month or just for the first time pledging 20$ ?

Yeah, I was thinking that one per quarter would be better, unless it's a small one. Maybe 1-2 thousand words? I just wasnt people to get their money's worth of it, as $20 a lot.
Maybe I could just offer a larger discount and immediate front of the line spots for that tier.
Thanks for the feedback.

I can picture that for an artist with less than 15 patreons, but above that number it seems too much. You could manage to keep up of course, but how much time will you have left for your personnal ideas ? But, you know, I have absolutly no experience when it comes to being a patreon artist, maybe I'm wrong. But juging from the other writers, your rewards are incredible X)

They seem pretty fair, and I can always tweek them as needed. Plus, if things get busy then I'll be motivated to write more and get better at it. That is a good point about not being able to keep up if I got too many patrons.
The big thing is that I want people who donate to feel as though their getting a boof bang for their buck. I've seen too many Patreons where you don't get anything meaningful until you shell out 10 or 20 bucks. Which, to me anyway, seems a bit like a slap in the face to those who want to support you.

Yes, trying seems the best option anyway. And in any case it means cheap commission for the first Patreons, so you can be sure I'll be one of them !
