Not going as planned
🕑 Added 2019-05-23 22:24:10 +0000 UTCSo I had mentioned that I have been trying to move out in the next month, but its not going as I would've hoped. My initial plan to use Patreon as my main source of income, as well as opening for commissions, isn't gonna be happening as soon as I would've hoped. I am still wanting to move out, but due to concerns with the family, among other things which I'd rather not go into, I have to nab another job before I move out. It really sucks, I wanted to avoid that, but...at least I'll still be able to draw on my own time, and without the family's prying eyes to worry about.
Which leads me to wonder what I should do with Patreon for the time being. I don't want to close this account as that would be a stupid idea. The only thing I can really think of is to either hold off on getting funds from patrons or just reduce my tiers, well...tier as I only have the one. It wouldn't be fair to have you guys pay for me when I'm not gonna be using Patreon as I was intending to, but we'll see what happens. What do you guys think would be a better idea, reducing my tier pay or just holding off on funds in general?
Sorry if this is a bit much to hear...or maybe it isn't that bad of news honestly, I can't say for sure but its not something I'm excited to bring up. I wanted to open up for commissions and use this site as my full time gig, but it'll have to wait a bit now.

Hmmm, I don't know, I think I'd like to avoid going the full $5 tier if I'm not gonna be as active as I was hoping to be. Though giving someone something who decided to keep the full amount they started with going a reward for the help makes sense, I can see that <=)

Awww, thank you Dan <=3
Ryuakira
That sounds like a good idea <=)

Honestly, I would keep your Patreon tier as-is for the time being. Since you said you can draw for yourself still, simply upload those images to the Patreon and in higher res, like your tier promises. If you really are concerned about people giving you too much, perhaps put out a reward for those who stuck around when it is time to utilize it fully :>

i'm glad I can support you regardless!

I think maybe lowering the price would be okay. Tho don't go to 1dollar. Heard ya actually get more at just 2 dollars.
Ryuakira
Yeah, but I feel like having a $5 tier would be a bit much, at the moment, until I'm completely open to use it later

IMO, you can still use Patreon as a tip jar of sorts. You can earn a little extra even as you’re doing art.
