Reward Setup (Test 3)

Dang it, you and Kyrit are right. I originally began to offer early access to EVERYTHING on my patreon for the $1 tier so it'd be at a low and fair price to everyone. Unfortunately I've been noticing a pattern lately; lots of folks join at the $1, stay for the month to see all content, then bail once the payment goes through. Not that it's all that bad but it does kinda sucks :C I suppose that's largely why all other creators seem to keep the lower tiers low-risk. I guess now would be a good time to start moving to that model if I plan on moving more of my focus to Patreon as a whole. I really like the monthly pic idea especially! That's the one thing I haven't fully tried here so it's def worth a shot. I also like the content-centric request streams idea; maybe I could have some that are themed based on the content I feel like drawing at that given moment? FnF requests only, Super Mario only, open floor for any fandom requests, maybe the occasional surprise oc-request stream as thank you? O: These are great suggestions, thank you! owo

Like Kyrit, most other Creators I see are very bare bones, but good incentives. Even without 5% off in commissions, or any art rewards, I'd still think it worth to have a $5 Tier. The $1 Tier you think of here offers a lot, I think. So I'd suggest the same for a $1 Tier as Kyrit: Voting Access and Early Access to WIPs (but keeping it to WIPs). Gives nice things still where people can have a voice and look into what's going on at the Patreon. For $5 Tier, alike to Kyrit too: Early Access to complete/coloured works, Discord, Access to Patreon Exclusive Works. Maybe move the Early Commission Reservation to here? The $10 Tier (and forward) already gets art rewards, so maybe give the one lower tier early access as well? But do not take any percentage in commissions off. A thing that could be offered is maybe a request stream once a month? But not in the "doodle my OC" type of stream, but instead where people can request to see doodles of the F&F cast in situations, or doodles of certain HCs you have to LoZ, MLP, etc etc. So it gets mixed with putting out more content that's not commissions, but still based on something people ask for. Option to suggest a monthly pic? I know a few artists do so they have their Patreon Exclusive art, and one of the larger pieces that are to be made during the month they put up the option for people to throw suggestions. When people have spend 1-2 days suggesting, then everyone get told they have 1-2 days to put likes/hearts on all the comment-suggestions they like, and then the top 5 most liked in the end gets slapped in a poll where people can then vote for the final winner of that month. What people can then suggest within is then something you can always narrow down with "It has to be F&F, LoZ, or MLP themed" or "It has to be themed within these 4 AUs I have for MLP" etc etc. so it still gets based on what you (sorta) want to draw for this month, but also gives others the possibility to affect it for one or two pics a month.

I honestly did too, but Patreon explicitly states that it's considered gambling and therefore not allowed. Like I mentioned above I initially figured i could just offer it on my discord but I ultimately decided I didnt want to risk it. I'll need an alternative or just nuke the $5 tier entirely.

I’ll admit the only thing missing here is probably the art raffle?? Absolutely loved that idea on the $5 tier before
