~I Would Like You All to Help Decide What Changes to Make~
🕑 Added 2023-12-02 17:00:05 +0000 UTCI know the title might seem a little scary, but it's not that serious, I promise!
So, this upcoming January, I'd like to make some changes to my Patreon to help set myself up for success when it comes to creating audios for you all in a timely manner, while still continuing to do what I love and not burn myself completely out, which has been happening this past year. Mostly, over the years that I've been doing this, I've noticed that some benefits I've offered to Patrons are very popular, and others, not so much. The two benefits that are the least popular are the Audio Book readings and the Let's Plays. Now, these are also conveniently, some of the benefits that take me the longest time to create considering their length.
The most popular tiers, are of course, the exclusive SFW and NSFW audios, which is no surprise to me in the least, but the AMA and the Bloopers are quite popular as well. So my idea is essentially this:
I would like to put a poll through with my Patrons, asking them if there are some benefits that they would prefer over others, and whether or not they would be ok with me giving some of them the chop and rearranging my tiers so they're more streamlined and simplified. When I first started Patreon, I wanted to offer more and different kinds of benefits that you can't get anywhere else, but I've noticed—again, over the years—that people are really mostly in it for the SFW and NSFW exclusives, which is completely fine! They're the backbone of why I made a Patreon in the first place, so they won't be going anywhere.
So my biggest idea is this: Cutting both the Let's Plays and the Audio Book readings from monthly content, but have them as an extra fun thing that is of no extra cost to anyone if I'm feeling the want to do so. I'll finish up my current Audio Book and Let's Play this month and start fresh January of 2024. The tiers will be rearranged to be like this:
$1—Intro Tier: Not much would be changing here. You still get access to high quality downloads of all of my publicly released content past and future, as well as access to asking questions and the audio for the AMA. This also comes with Discord server access if you would like it.
$7—SFW Tier: This will be combining the SFW exclusive tier and the Bloopers tiers into one, raising the price slightly, but keeping it under $10 so it's more accessible to people with a lower budget.
$20—NSFW Tier: Yes, this tier will become a little bit cheaper! I've always been nervous about the potential of losing money on charging less, but since I'll be creating less benefits all together, I can focus more on these audios, and this also makes it slightly more affordable for people all around!
Other ideas include just dropping the Let's Play tier, as well as just dropping the Audio Books and putting the Bloopers in the tier with the Let's Plays. But I'm interested in what you all have to say about this. Thank you all for letting my brainstorm this out, because I want to continue to make things for everyone while still maintaining good mental health and everything, and I feel like this is the best way to do that. If you disagree, please let me know that as well! I'm interested to hear any thoughts as well if you have them in the comments!

I really like the lets plays!! They’re great background noise when I’m drawing

I put in just the audio books, as the Let’s Play seems (to me) to be less…..strenuous? It allows for you to speak in a normal voice and play a favorite game while creating content.
