help, i need input! re: public release of higher tier pictures. thinking about making 're-cap art bundle posts' ?
🕑 Added 2019-02-07 21:50:53 +0000 UTCsometimes, when i post something on tumblr or twitter, patrons ask me why they never saw that picture on patreon. it's usually that they're a patron of a lower tier, so they couldn't see images that were posted as early access to higher tiers.
the idea with my patreon rewards is that different tiers unlocks different levels of early access. $1+ patrons get early access to my 'regular' art; some (but not all!) of the sketches that $3 patrons get to see are eventually posted in public; and $5+ patrons get early access to the MOTM painting and MOTM sketch. after a certain period of time i post the early access art in public too, nowadays on twitter.
but i understand that it would be super convenient if all the early access art of higher tiers was also eventually publicly released on patreon, so that lower tier patrons don't have to keep track of both my patron and twitter to see all my art once it goes public. but i can't make public posts containing nsfw content, as it's against patreon's community guidelines, so the 'public release' would still have to be marked as 'patron only.'
i'm thinking about regularly posting little re-cap bundles of art as it's ready to be publicly released (so i'd post it at roughly the same time as i also post the art on twitter). i'd make a single 'patron only' post about it, like a monthly or perhaps bi-monthly re-cap, and you can download the images you haven't already seen.
so now in february, for example, i could make a re-cap bundle post with the public release of the MOTM art that $5+ patrons got early access to back in october and november, plus some select sketches that $3+ patrons got early access to a while ago. (i could potentially even include downloads of recent 'regular art' in case anyone missed anything?)
this way higher tier patrons get the same early access to the sketchbook and MOTM art as always, but it also ensures that lower tier patrons get a chance to keep track of all my art-as it's being publicly released--through patreon instead of having to also check my twitter. higher tier patrons would only have to put up with one "extra" post containing art they've already seen, and it would only be one extra notification/e-mail.
what do you think, does this sound good? any questions? if you like this post i'll take it as a sign of approval; feel super free to comment with your feedback, or to send me a DM if you don't want to comment in public! <3
(& thanks for having patience and trust in me as i'm learning more about how to patreon! i still have so much to learn about how to optimise the user experience and i take all your feedback to heart.)
