First off my new pen is here! So art has started up again like normal.
However I have some other things I want to talk about today as well. (This post will be cross posted to FA for maximum reach).
First off you may have noticed that the Patreon discount has been raised to 20%. This is because prices have been raised overall and I found it only fair. The tier descriptions have been changed to match. If you find that it still says 15% anywhere please let me know. Thank you :3
Now I've been debating making some changes to the Patreon for a while now... partly to future proof it and partly to help myself grow as an artist. As many of you might know, a large part of getting your work out there is to post places regularly. I have a history of being very bad at this. Only posting on Furaffinity once in a while, and only posting finished commissions.
I want to get better at this. My first step has been to set up postybirb to start auto posting more regularly. That way I can be more regular even with my more fluid schedule. I've also started posting more places. This might grow further, I haven't decided yet to be honest.... *I've been told tiktok would be a good business decision but I kinda hate the site with a passion so its going to be a hard choice for me...*
However I've been debating posting sketches more places than just Patreon. It would help me get my name out there and be incredibly helpful in terms of posting more regularly. (I could also start doing more sketch commissions potentially? ) The only thing making me hesitate is that it would be taking away a major Patreon perk. I would love to hear your guys opinions on this and if you have any possible solutions of your own you would like to recommend.
One thing I do plan on doing is becoming more formal with my Patreon updates and posts. Everything from now on will be posted exactly 2 weeks in advance.
Also I plan on getting more formal with commission slots. At the start of each month I will post my commissions open page on patreon first, giving them all a week heads start. After that the slots for the rest of the month will go public. I only plan on filling slots 2 weeks at a time for now just to make sure I dont over schedule myself.
Lastly I might look into starting a discord server. If I do, Patreons will have perks there as well. The only thing stopping me is the fact I would want it set up very clean and formally. Plus I would need a moderator if the server eventually got too much for me to handle. I cant always be a social person...
Please let me know your feelings, Thank you! :3
