I appreciate your suggestion. It's not something I had thought of before, so I found it to be a rather thought provoking idea.

The last paragraph sounds good, and the suggestions are only for inspiration, something you can think about.

Ironically, most of the ones I help out subscribe to my page already, usually at higher pledge levels. Many of them also reach out to me when they know something useful, like find a new site or artist that could be useful to me. So I have some misgivings on that front. I already feel like they pay me back in a way just through the sharing of useful information. I make enough right now to pay the bills with just a little bit to spare. I love the idea of having more money to put back into my projects, but at the same time I'm not greedy. Thank you for the suggestion, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that earning money that way isn't right for me. I usually end up helping people who's projects I enjoy playing, they often find ways to repay me either through sharing useful ideas or other information with me, and a few of them I even consider friends. I just wouldn't feel right asking for money from people who have been nothing but kind and generous in return for my help. All of that said, maybe the next time someone comes looking for help, I could hint that I'd appreciate their pledge for a while. ;)

You could make deals with the ones you are instructing/teaching, the ones you are talking about. Deals like (and this is just an example) when you hit X mark Patreon income, like 1000$ or 2000$, I'll take an Y% cut for K months, like 10 % cut for 3 months. That way your risk is high, and therefore you can take a bit more revenue. For those you are talking to, they have their risk reversed, they have a low risk of wasting money and need only pay if the information proves useful, when that time comes though they need to cough up a bit more, that's only fair. Think about it like that, and you just fill out the numbers as you want or perceive as fair :)

I wouldn't even know where to start. That said, I've talked shop with a lot of aspiring creators, talking about what I've tried that does, and does not work.

btw, perhaps as a source for secondary income, you really ought to start a course covering how to communicate and keep your patrons informed! Think it over, the way you do it is exemplary, why not make money off it!

Glad you're enjoying them. The little stories are fun to write.

These changelogs really are fantastic! I mean it litterary, how many of these types of changelogs do you encounter? They are as rare as pegasi, or a cyclops... hell, even unicorn! :D
