ONE WEEK TO GO & NEW REWARDS! | Patreon Blog
🕑 Added 2024-01-25 02:31:10 +0000 UTCHey All, Wood here!
First of all, thank you so much for staying onboard as a Patreon! I'm excited to update you guys with some new rewards and info about the Patreon as we move forward!
THE FIRST (Well, 85th!) EPISODE IS ON THE 1ST OF FEB!
Sorry it's been quiet here this month, but as you know the Podcast has been on break. However, that doesn't mean WE have been on break from organizing, building, setting up and creating the new show!
To start, all NEW Mugs are on the way. This time, I designed them! They are similar to what we had before, but with an added touch of something special I think you guys are going to like!
Along side that, another type of Nontendo Merch that we have NEVER sold before is on the way. It's something a bit more unique to our show, and I think you guys are going to love it.
That said, starting NOW all $5 and $20 Tier Patreons will have an exclusive 5% discount code on ALL Merch going forward, and will also have early access to all Merch. That way if it sells out early like the mugs did, you guys get first dibs. (I'll send out a private DM to all $5 and $20 Patreon with the new code, please do not share it with non-patreons!)
I really want the Patreon to be more efficient and content filled than ever, so I am actively hiring someone to help out posting here and keeping up with rewards. Including Behind the Scenes videos once a month, which before now, we tried having people shoot and edit, but never followed up on having it. Which was our bad. So now there will be someone exclusive reasonable for shooting and editing those throughout the month. So you will see all the behind the scenes set up and conversations between ourselves and each guest!
The one consistent, has always been the 30-Minute Bonus episodes and oh baby, those aren't going anywhere. You can expect that to be the same always. I'm excited to see what each of our guests bring to those episodes also.
Having V.I.P Patreons ask a question for the Bonus Episodes was also a reward that fell to the wayside, mostly because we just simply kept forgetting to ask ahead of time for questions. So that post responsibility will also be passed on to the person who will be in charge of the BTS and other posting here. At the start of each month, a post will be made asking for questions, and I will chip away at them throughout the Bonus Episodes that month!
I would love to bring MORE rewards here over time. It has always been a dream of mine to bring you guys PHYSICIAL rewards. I looked into it over this break period, but the issue I kept facing was the time and resources it would take to actually physically package up and mail 1000+ letters / packages to Patreons. Even something as small as a sticker pack becomes a crazy tedious task for someone to manage. So in time, hopefully, as the Patreon grows, we can take another look at that when there's room in the budget to hire someone or a small company to collaborate with and outsource that too.
So for now, i'm focusing on Digital rewards. Like having you guys partake in the show more, discounted merch, early access to merch, etc. Whatever I can do to give the Patreon more value. And please feel free to suggest your own ideas here or in Discord!
So that's the Patreon update! For me, i have spent a LOT more time setting up the new phase of the Podcast than I expected haha. Even finding the new MUG merch took me DAYS of research and messaging sellers. I did NOT expect it to be as hard as it was. I have also reached out to about every creator friend I could think of to book guests for the show. Organizing dates, flights and accommodation for those guests has been really time consuming. Thankfully, that same person I am looking into hiring to help here on Patreon, should be taking a lot of that responsibility too.
Even so, moving forward I am committing more time and love to the Podcast than ever before. The plan is to go live EVERY Thursday, which means going to New York EVERY Thursday. As well as all the prep work and guest-question planning and more that will go into each week. Along side balancing my own Youtube channel. This year is going to be my busiest ever, I am so excited to give it my 100%. The Nontendo Podcast is special. It's unique. It's different. I think this year it's going to be amazing.
I hope you guys love the shows new look and feel. I think you're going to be impressed by the new set dressing, shooting style and guests we have lined up! It's going to be fun!
If you read all of this, thank you! Let's have a great 2024 and i'll see you February 1st for the first Episode!

Hey Wood I don’t know if you thought of this or if you’ll read this, but I was thinking the other day what may help lead people to the Patreon is if you posted clips from the Patreon as shorts for Nontendo pod channel and when people go listen to the episode and don’t hear that part they wanted from the shorts, they then think man I wanted to hear the rest of that let me check out the Patreon. Might be a bad idea I’m not sure I don’t have any idea how that works it was just an idea lol
Chris Betances
What a subtle hint to the guest of the first episode lol

Btw if your looking for SM manager and all that, just go on X. A bunch of people in gaming world have lost their jobs and some are very qualified for what you are looking for. Would be a great opportunity for one of them.

I couldn’t be more excited for the new year and the new additions to a pod I already love. The prospect of future physical rewards is very cool. I have a few Patreon subs for monthly stickers (they’re the best) but I see those creators struggling to keep up with it sometimes, so I totally get it. And it sounds like you’ve really had your hands full this month; I can imagine navigating finding travel and lodging for folks so consistently! Thanks for the update and for all the work the team has put in to make my Thursdays even better!! :)
