Losing Patrons - My Dilemma
🕑 Added 2022-06-06 18:38:52 +0000 UTCSo, I noticed lately that my patrons have been in decline. Maybe because a bunch of people jumped on board with the yearly plans, which may or may not show up on the monthly Number.
I know my art has been improving, and the last few months I feel I’ve been doing more content than usual.
More importantly , gas prices have shot through the roof, so there’s that too!
But I’ve had people suggest I run a crowdfunding or Patreon type of situation for animations (I think they mean like animated episodes!)/games, but if feels weird asking for more when:
1. People are financially hurting across the board right now.
2. You’re already supporting me with what $$$ you give, and work is work, so why ask for more?
=====
Also, whenever I turn to bigger projects now I have to abandon them when I lose Patrons because I have nothing for them in the meantime.
Any thoughts or helpful ideas would be very much appreciated!!!

I appreciate your honesty a GREAT DEAL. I've been trying to do more NON PATREON light foot fetish content to bring more people in, so I could slowly do more of that here too, but it's been super slow going. That and... that's all Twitch will let me stream. Anything that's fetish focused will get me the noose.

I'm scared to ask, but which game? 😭

I really like your art, but I'm not interested in what you mainly do. I'm here for non tickle foot fetish content of characters I'm familiar with. I haven't seen a much of that lately. You can't please everyone and you shouldn't try. As your focus shifts you will lose patrons, but you'll gain more over time. Being 100 percent honest if I had to cut expenses I wouldn't be able justify this one.

It would be cool to get more updates for hipfc and the game etc (this is probably more personal as its a big reason i joined was for the game)

HIPFC, One Piece, anything JRPG related and PokéMilfs are my long list of favourites to see here! I’ve always enjoyed your art, but you definitely have been honing your craft lately!

What about releasing some of your older Patreon stuff form other tiers, too? Also, didn't mean to imply cheap work, just less taxing/time-consuming art alternatives. Oh! What about HIPFC Bites? Mini-Stories within the HIPFC universe that just explore the various locations and characters that exist there, in the classic four-panel HIPFC style^^
Black out
I supported though the yearly, and then cancel to make sure when the 1st of next year roles around, I have the money in my bank account before I repledge. But I haven't stopped supporting.

I’ve learned that I’m one of the cheaper Patreons, but I don’t wanna like… make cheaper content in the meantime?? But you’re absolutely correct that everyone should still get SOMETHING!!
Moekaki
You got it. I’m on it. I’m tightening my schedule and setting it in stone for my family.
Moekaki
You’re absolutely right. I did. Thank you for reminding me. 😬💦

I still come here because of HIPFC and also because I saw that you were making visual games, I even remember you did a preference poll and there you can see the interest of the patreons.

I honestly came for HIPFC. I know you have been improving your art and doing other things, but that is always my main purpose for being here. If you could post more of HIPFC, I think it would be good? I don’t know about others, but I think that was the main draw to your page when you started.

How about quick, poll-based sketch content? Chibi pics of your characters doing dumb/cute stuff, meme pics involving your characters, simple icons for select patrons every month. Work on the big/important stuff while supplying your page with a steady flow of simple and entertaining art to keep the Patrons’ appetite whetted. Whatever you do, keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see what you do going forward!
