Average tier is 7$ USA
🕑 Added 2022-01-18 23:16:14 +0000 UTCI agree too,
there are SO MANY types of projects and content out there.
https://blog.patreon.com/refresh-patreon-tiers , scoll down a bit.
I have kept tiers low for awhile but provide a lot. I know I'm not making money at ALL.
So I will start sharing to the higher tiers because I HAVE TO. I work for hundreds of hours and make very little all year.
From streams (which people provide support there) to making outfits, keeping a camera charged through all these hundreds of LENS, makeup, supplies and power, and that never pays for my creativity, I'm far FAR in the negative for earning for my content.
after a $2.22 tier, patreon takes a cut, paypal takes a cut, taxes take cut, I'm left with not even 2$ for like 4 hours of time. I can't change the values in each tier, patreon doesn't let creators do that while people are subscribed. So I have to bump content up, most will not change, but under $5 has been getting a great deal for half a decade.
I just wanted you guys to know that.
I just do a LOT of stuff : concert jam streams, I make all those LENS, I share photos, I make calendars, I make GIFs to download, and I'm producing albums/CDs. I'm not including the drawing/arts. These take serious time. Any one of these could easily earn the same money that for making it all, with no extra effort applied.
Like, I'm making peanuts at this rate.
I limited tiers too, which will stay because it controls conversation and attention to everyone, I like 1-1 basis because I care about people who are kind and able enough to share their hard earned moneys. They deserve to be targetted for appreciaten, personally!
"Every bit counts" only matters in proper portions. A1/2 a penny is zero money by itself. .. . also they got rid of the 1/2 penny like 150 years ago in USA, so it's only worth something to a specific "collector". I don't wanna be just that.
* I let it go because I didn't need money THAT much and people were great fans, but I can't anymore, I shouldn't have for past 2 years. Please ask if you really need to know more, but I doubt you do! Just hoping peeps will understand. I KNOW a few do and have been trying to help me through this!
I'd like to get what I deserve maybe for once.

yeah that's what I kinda shifted to during the year, but not enough I guess. Originally that's what the 2$ was for, and LENS just for that, but I've definately dumped a bunch there in LENS and gifs and pics so that I need to go back to my rules and not just dump cuz I can... the desire to share is strong, I let my phone get full and have to transfer stuff while in the middle of taking pics/vid its very annoying but after all that , special eyes and quality checks need to be shared to the top before I can share to public so that's one thing that controls the urge of giving over taking π πππ I know everyone EVERYONE is in some kind of shift now and I feel bad , but this time yeah you're right eventually gotta feel bad for .. me sometime

I hardly think anybody could blame you for wanting to be paid for your time. You sink so much of it into all of this, after all! As for the tiers, as the fees associated with all the processors and middlepeople have crept up, you've really only got two choices: you either have to raise prices on all the low tiers, or shift all the tiers up a notch and maybe create a new lowest tier. The $5? "Starkat Supporter" (or whatever XD), most of which goes to taxes and Patreon and PayPal, the rest keeps the lights on, and subscribers get a warm fuzzy feeling, knowing they're helping and contributing to all the amazing work you produce.
