UPCOMING FRIENDS & LOVERS TIER CHANGES
🕑 Added 2024-02-07 16:00:13 +0000 UTCHey lovely people! I don't normally bother you all on Wednesdays, but I've got some important stuff I want to share and update you on! Don't worry—it's nothing bad and nothing too huge :)
Most of, if not all of you are well aware of how freaking expensive it is to just exist in this world today. Where I'm based I'm getting hid hard with raising rent, rising grocery prices, insurance premiums going up, (not that I can afford health insurance in the US *eyeroll*) etc. etc. On top of that, Patreon takes a HUGE chunk of my monthly income (12% to be exact) which over time has made it harder and harder to produce content at the rate I would like to. As most of you know, I'm working super hard to be able to make audios full time—it's a DREAM of mine to get to work for myself doing something I love, which just happens to be making smutty wholesome tomboy audios.
I'm very, very, VERY close to making that dream a reality, but I'm not quite there yet. It's been really rough knowing I'm making more than what I take home each month and that hard-earned money that could be used for things me and my family need or improving my ASMR skills/upgrading equipment/etc is going towards a huge corporation. Additionally, the Alex ASMR content library has grown significantly over the last 6 months and the $3 tier price no longer accurately reflects the value of what patrons are receiving.
So... I've thought long and hard about this and I've come to the decision that I unfortunately need to make a couple of changes in regards to tier pricing. I've worked through a lot of different scenarios on how to do this with the goal always being keeping my content AFFORDABLE and ACCESSIBLE for as many people as possible while still keeping me afloat and able to move towards that goal of being a full-time creator.
So... here's what changes are coming:
The Friends tier (currently priced at $1) will now cost $3.
The Lovers tier will be unpublished and unavailable for future subscribers.
*IF YOU ARE A CURRENT MEMBER OF THE LOVERS TIER: you do not need to take any action. All members of the Lovers tier will REMAIN members of that tier AT THE ORIGINAL PRICE ($3). This change will ONLY affect new subscribers.
*IF YOU ARE A CURRENT MEMBER OF THE FRIENDS TIER: you will have until March 1st to switch to a new tier before your current tier is deleted and repriced.
The last thing I ever want to do is make you guys feel like 'customers' or 'clients' because YOU'RE NOT! You're my community, my people, and I want to take care of my people. But I also have to take care of me and my family. That's why decisions like these, small as they may seem, are so hard for me to make. And that's also why instead of increasing the price of the Lovers tier, I'm keeping that $3 price locked in as a legacy tier. .
If anyone has any questions or concerns about these changes, please let me know! All of you are responsible for how much this community has grown and I want to honor that in any way that I can. And please leave your thoughts in the comments—I care about what you think!
Okay... that's all for now. Thanks you all!
luv
Alex

I appreciate the grandfathering (grandmothering?) of the original Lovers tier. Keep up the good work, other Alex!

I was at Lovers and upgraded to Lovers +. You are KILLING it and I wanted to offer a little addl support for you to move toward making audios full time. I think the changes you are making are good ones!

Hi! Yes, that means you're still in the Lovers tier, but that tier is just no longer available to new members. Check and make sure you still have access to all of the same content you did previously—you should! But let me know if not and I'll fiddle with the settings.

Hey Alex! Just making sure, so I think I was in the lovers tier, but here in the app I only see "member" on my membership status, so is it normal for people who were in the lovers tier to have their membership as "member"? Have a good day!
