Updates for everyone
Main goals for 2026 are sustainability. We want to make sure Breast Buy can get funded through the whole year, so the money that used to go to Breast Buy ($400 a month is allocated to creating Breast Buy) can go to other comics, moving us from a comic creator and some shorts, to our own comic studio. It's really not that far out of reach, and the pages I shared above does a deep dive on how many subs we need to get there, and what amazing things are coming if we can do it.
Our first major goal, Annual passes and upgrades.
Did you know you can hop from the $5 tiers into the $8 for just a $1.70 more a month via subscribing annually? Not only will this give you all the early previews for Breast Buy, but starting 2026, we will have $8 exclusive comics added to the mix. And with Annual, you can get them for $6.70 a month
We typically have around 120 people in that tier. If Everyone upgraded into $8 via annual, that would fund almost half of all Breast Buys costs!
We have over 80 of you between our $8 tiers. Instead of the Seven extra dollars it takes to go into the $15 tier, Annual allows you to join for less than $5 more, and you'll get access to animated comics with voice overs, and help fund our 3D animation team.
Imagine a world where we could semi animate Breast Buy and get it voice acted. We can do that if we grow these tiers.
Non Annual Members.
While Annual Membership is an amazing way to get the higher benefits for less, our casual and come and go supporters still matter immensely as most our funding comes from you. So thank you! The reason Every Dollar Matters is the rough truth of the support model.
Take a $5 Pledge, and annual membership gives you 16% (about two months free!) which I am 100% a champion for. So Patreon would actually take $4.20 from you.
Then... Patreon takes their % for hosting. Which after I pay them, I get $3.36 per sub.
Then Taxes for being independently employed, will bring that $3.36 dow to $2.35.
out of your $5.00 you wanted to send to me and my team of illustrators, 3D sculptors, and soon possibly voice over actors and animators, We get less than halfIf we looked at non Annual Discount... you're looking at $2.80 actually going to the creator in the end out of $5... still less than 60%.
We're working on new outlets of funding with products, selling permanent copies of comics, etc. But that also takes time, so know that while we try to build and become sustainable, every month to give, means the world. Every time you try a bigger tier, it sends 50% more our way to make what you like. None of this would exist without you.
So if upgrading using the Annual option works out, or you just sub when you can, both are wonderful, and if you have to take a break, please share our posts on Social Media. Advertising is an uphill battle now, and every like, reply, and quote/share/tweet means everything.
Looking forward to stabilizing the ship, and sailing to new adventures in 2026 with You.
