Tier restructuring, maybe
🕑 Added 2019-04-15 16:42:31 +0000 UTCThe $3 music tier and the $5 "Treasure Chest" are the lowest-populated in terms of subscribers .. and also pretty thin in content that I'm able to post there.
I've been thinking of combining them into a single, more robust tier which will contain everything I was posting to both: Audio as well as occasional drawings (not as lewd as what I post in Doodle Club and Super Secret Double First Class, but still a bit spicier than what's in the $2 Saga tier.) The price of this new tier would be in between the previous two: $4.
This would mean that $5 patrons would get a slight discount to access the content they are already seeing .. and $3 patrons would gain the additional "Treasure Chest" content for just one dollar more. Plus it would greatly simplify things for me by having one less reward category to keep track of.
Is this a good idea? Totally stupid idea? Please share your thoughts.

Maybe I shouldn't say .. but the Ballad is actually FREE. You get it in any tier.

I am at the $3 tier, but I rarely listen to the music and I am mostly interested in the Saga and the Ballad. So, if the Ballad is included in the 2$ tier (as I think it is?) I probably would downgrade to it, although I would keep on giving you $3.
Patreon sent out a creator newsletter last month, telling us that tier restructuring was an "effective marketing tactic" to bring in new patrons. Sounded like baloney to me, but it got me thinking that I could probably stand to tidy up my rewards structure. I've got six tiers right now, and two of them have barely any content so it might make sense to combine them at a new price.

Is there a reason I missed somewhere that people are suddenly restructuring their tiers, I live under a rock and probably missed it...

I'm just a $2 Patreon and I would NOT MIND paying double and getting the addition of the Treasure Chest. I mean, more Tegerio? Where/when do I sign up?
But Super Secret Double First Class has as many patrons in it as the Music and Treasure Chest _combined_! And where else could I post the naughtiest pinups of stewardesses and such?
All of the comments so far are from people who won't be affected by the change. I'd like to hear what my $3 and $5 patrons think of this idea.

I mean it sounds reasonable to me.

So i suggest move everything to the $5 tier and start ramping up the prices of the higher tiers. Like: - the doodle should at the very least be 15$ since it's one hour of work and you're paying taxes on it on the added "patreon takes a share" devaluing - and the commission at least 50$ or even 55$. 🤔 - the double first i'd make it into a quarter hundred - and in general i'd like you to value a bit more what you're providing. Because you deserve it. And because "dying for your art" is a figure of speech, not a dictat.

Honestly restructuring tiers is an hassle. It's far easier to delete and add them. 🤔

sounds like a fair idea to me. you probably have too many tiers already as it is. I`d edit it down to $2 saga, $4 new level, $10 doodles (though you could get away with going to $15 I think) and the $40 level handful of commissions
