How's My Driving?
🕑 Added 2020-11-05 08:42:39 +0000 UTCElection stress plus homework stress was sure not fun. However I might have fixed my work stress. I took 3 days off in a row as my permanent availability. I definitely feel better, and it will definitely help with homework this semester. Although it will also hurt my wallet, as I am scheduled for about 1/4 of the time I was over the last two weeks. We'll...see how that goes.
I'll be getting my first polls up sometime tomorrow (err...today, since its way too late to still be up). But I'd like to know what you guys are thinking about my Patreon page? I have been proud of my progress: I have been able to post here very regularly, which was something I struggled to do a year ago. I've been enjoying the polls as well as the Dessert tier images, and have had no issues working on those. But I've hit a wall: I cannot pass the $420 per month mark. I think I know why this is happening too: I'm not sure if a subscription to me is worth it. I know that doesn't sound very positive, but hear me out.
I think my $1 tier is good. You get access to the 4K renders, a poll, and a discount on vore packs.
I think my $5 tier is okay. You get access to 2 polls plus the packs are free.
The $20 tier feels good with basically free commissions each month.
The $10 tier is lacking. I feel its a lot of money for not a lot of extra perks over the $5 tier.
So, I need to improve what I offer. I know I've asked this before, and I have been trying to make adjustments, but I do still need more to make this page worth it for everyone.
What extra rewards should I offer? I have been considering a discord server, and I've built one, but beyond having a cool name I am really unsure what the advantage of a discord server would bring. Should I post more work in progress shots? PSD files? Raw unedited renders? I've considered live streams on and off for a long time now, but I haven't really gotten into the idea because I don't spend all that long posing before I hit render and things just sit there. That and I'm probably a boring streamer XD. I've also considered posting renders from my non-vore account, but that idea has had less enthusiasm when I suggested it in the past.
Or is there a benefit that I should add to just the $10 tier? Would adding those PSD and raw files make the $10 tier more worthy?
I am not a part of anyone else's Patreon yet, so I have nothing to really go by as inspiration.
So what do you guys think? What can I do that would make this more worth while to you? If my work schedule remains as light as it is, I'll be able to commit more time here than I have been. Name anything: either a cool idea you have or if there is a reward you liked from another Patreon, put it down below. I want to make this page more worth while for everyone

It took me a few reads to understand the idea, but I think I got most of it. I wouldn't be opposed to the $10 tier nominating ideas to vote on, but what I'd like to avoid is having too many polls. It may become overwhelming to have upwards of 5 polls per round. The other factor is the number of people (or snacks) in the $10 tier. Usually there are 50 or so people voting in the first prey poll, but there are less than 10 voting in the third poll. There may not be a lot of nominations. I think the rewards for the $10 tier may need to be more substantial. I've been liking the idea of the raw renders and PSD files, or possibly those in the $10 tier get access to some 4K non-vore pics from my other accounts.

I gave this some thought and have an idea for you. Right now, the $1 and $5 tiers primarily get to vote on the predator and prey twice a month with the final selections being decided by plurality or artist tiebreaker. In addition, the $20 tier gets to make requests that bypass voting. Therefore, it stands to reason that the $10 tier needs to be somewhere in the middle. More of a voice than the $1 and $5 tiers, but not the same as the $20 tier. So, here is my pitch. At the beginning of the month when the Dessert Tier request thread goes up include two more threads for $10 and above, each requesting nominations to make up the voting for the upcoming month with everyone in the applicable tiers receiving one nomination per thread. I would make the first thread be a predator/prey combination (example: T-Rex eating a male human). For the second thread, it can be any request beyond the selection of the two characters in the other thread. It can be a location, a situation, etc. In the following month, these nominations are divided into two groups and presented as the poll options. The $1 tier would vote on the predator/prey combo only and the $5 tier would vote in both polls. I would only be in favor of any option presented in the poll once per month. If multiple users nominate the same choice, I would specify it in the poll (example: T-Rex eating a male human, Nominated by user1 and user2). As far as dividing up the poll, I would leave that up to artist discretion.
I like the idea of work in progress files and unedited renders. Even if they're not perfect and finished, it's still interesting to see content from different angles, using different poses, alternate lighting, etc. You could also show off techniques for posing or how to use deforming tools or something like that.
