I would like your opinion on this
🕑 Added 2021-04-02 14:33:04 +0000 UTCOver the past few days, I've been talking with a few friends and patrons about changing how I work my Patreon. I love what I do, but we realize that the amount of work I put in should be earning me more. Especially since I've had to basically close commissions for 3 months now just to keep up with Patreon's workload. And I've come up with an idea I think might work to allow me to start taking commissions again while still giving those that pledge and support content that you specifically want.
Of course, it's a massive shift, so I might not even make the change in the long run. But, if I do, I would like your honest opinion.
I'm thinking of limiting my Patreon tiers. $1, $5, $10, $15, and $20 a month. $1 and $5 remain the same as they currently are (1 gets the WIP and 5 gets the full story/stories), $10 would get the monthly story/stories along with access to 2 pieces of art to go with the story and polls to influence future stories. And $15 would get the same as $10 but the addition of (up to) 10 people from the highest tier getting selected a month for their own 5k commission along with a discount of likely 15% or 20% for any stories commissions outside of Patreon. And $20 a month would have a limited number of slots (like the $30 tier and $50 tier currently have) and have the same reward as $10, but instead of being entered for a chance to win a commission, the $20 tier would instead "build a bank" of 1k words a month with a limit of 6k words per redeemed story. This one would be more for those who want to support and get their own content but can't pay for a commission all at once.
Reading this, the question(s) I have for you is simple: Would you stay pledged and support? If so, what tier would you pledge to? If not, would you simply get commissions when they were available? Or would this change just push you away?
