Thinking of changing how NSFW posts work going forward
Added 2024-09-25 01:22:02 +0000 UTCSo I wanted to get your opinions on this. I've been noticing for a while that some people will join the Patreon and then immediately cancel it for the next month. And that's fine, I'm not going to shame anybody in doing that, I know everyone's got their own situation going on. But I also realize that a lot of people join the Patreon to have access to my NSFW art (as it's the most exclusive attraction here) download everything from past months and years, and then dip.
While that's okay too and I'm aware of it happening, I'm also trying to make my art something I can support myself on. I'd prefer to have people stay subscribed long term. Since I've built up a large amount of NSFW art on here now I think I should do something about it. Typically I've seen artists do "monthly rewards" for distributing their NSFW content, to incentivize people sticking around. I haven't done this yet, but I was thinking of making it for the past three months.
Subscribers above Tip Jar would have access to the previous three months of NSFW art. That way it's a little more balanced with my NSFW output, and it gives people more wiggle room if they aren't able to subscribe for a month or two. Hopefully that will encourage people to stick around a bit longer. I was also thinking if anyone really desperately wanted to get my past NSFW art beyond the cutoff date I could add an archive tier for that purpose. It'd be priced above VIP Patrons but they'd get access to everything. It's not meant for a monthly subscription, just for people who have missed previous months.
This isn't something I'm going to implement right away, I want to hear your feedback on it first. If you think it's good or if you think it sucks please let me know. The idea is to start this change in October so if you still want to go back and grab everything now's the time!

Thanks you so much for the support, really!

2024-09-25 19:59:59 +0000 UTCI’m fairly new and plan to stick around for a while at least (anything could happen), so whatever you need to do to support yourself is fine by me.

2024-09-25 11:04:49 +0000 UTCYeah Patreon charges when people sub, so it's not like I haven't been getting paid. This is just me thinking of ways to encourage people to stay subscribed instead of just doing it once and downloading everything. Thanks for the input!

2024-09-25 02:40:49 +0000 UTCRight now I'm almost ready to start selling those mousepads but after that I want to get prints going too! It'll happen, just need some more time. Coasters sound like a fun idea as well!

2024-09-25 02:38:33 +0000 UTCYeah, point is to make them have incentive to stay pledged.

2024-09-25 02:37:31 +0000 UTCNp, you'll always have my support. I'd also be interested in buying prints especially if you sign it. Could be some extra income 🫠. Another cool idea- coasters for cups with your designs. I'm sure you can come up 😀 with them.

2024-09-25 02:35:11 +0000 UTCI definitely want you to be able to support yourself with your work here, so I'd be okay with that change. However, wouldn't they still be charged for subscribing the moment they sub? I think that was a recent change Patreon did?

2024-09-25 02:30:13 +0000 UTCThe plan always was to share some of the Patreon exclusive NSFW artworks on my NSFW twitter account, I just haven't started doing it yet. There's a couple where looking back I feel they could use touching up first before posting publicly. Thanks for the tip and also for the long time support Izzy, it truly means a lot.

2024-09-25 02:29:26 +0000 UTCI've been supporting for a long time you know, so I don't plan on changing that. It sucks when people don't really want to pledge and just grab stuff I understand that. I feel it's important to support your favorite artists. Also you can choose when you like to share your nsfw art outside of Patreon if you want to like on your nsfw twitter (if). An archive tier for like the year (quarterly) would be cool like on a mega download, can have a patreon password on it. Making it more secure. That's my idea 💡

2024-09-25 02:04:43 +0000 UTCI’d say that’s a fair idea. I stick around for the new NSFW art as I imagine a lot of people do but it could definitely suck to only have someone for a month for all previous exclusive pieces on here. Still having an option to get everything is good too so that way anyone can still have that option to see everything if they want

2024-09-25 02:01:28 +0000 UTCThanks man. The way I was going to implement it was by changing what tiers have access to each post, but if that doesn't work out I can do the Google link thing that other artists do.
