Pausing Patreon Indefinitely
🕑 Added 2021-01-22 19:11:16 +0000 UTCHey my lovely folks! I've been considering this for a while, and wanted to finally announce my decision to stop my patreon indefinitely. At this point, the time and effort going into it just aren't matching up to the income I could receive from doing normal commissions and, there is a general lack of interest in it. ^^; Which is alright, I'm sure there are things I could do to improve it and draw more people in, I admit to not being the best at figuring out what works best for this format! But I think it'd just be less stressful for me to move on from in for now. I might try again in the future in my journey to find a good business model for myself! But for now, it just isn't doin' it.
EDIT: Patreon DOES bill at the beginning of the month, so you shouldn't be charged on February first!
BUSINESS ASIDE, I just wanted to thank you all for your support, whether it's $1 or $100, I really really appreciate it. <3 In my phasing out of patreon, I would like to offer any interested patrons a priority commission slot, especially for my Belly Bosses! So if you want to reserve a slot for February, please message me either here or on FA. <3
I want to keep making process videos, they might not have gained much traction yet but I enjoy doing it! As for WIP's and downloads: full HD downloads of commissions will only be available to the commissioner, and my personal work will most likely just be uploaded at whatever size works best for the platforms I'm uploading on. I'm also considering keeping the Belly Benefactors channel up in my discord server and posting all my WIP's there, but only if there's actual interest in them!
I think the thing I'll miss most is being able to use patron sponsorship to be able to use work-time for the one personal project a month, and because I have to prioritize my basic needs of food/shelter/health I probably won't be able to do as much personal work. But... we'll see.
I believe that just about covers all of it, but if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! Thank you all again so much for your support. This is what I love doing, and your willingness to help me keep my dream afloat means the world to me. <3
