Patreon Updates!
🕑 Added 2019-05-10 01:27:40 +0000 UTCI've gone through and made some changes to the Aging Wheels Patreon page that I thought I should share with you, my patrons, before one of you notices and thinks I'm trying to pull a fast one.
First off, I quite literally moved the goal post on my one and only Patreon goal. When I setup the Wabant project as my Patreon goal, I estimated Patreon would account for roughly 25% of my income, so I set the goal amount accordingly. Well, Patreon actually accounts for 50-60% of my income now. I was about 75% of the way to that goal, but there's no way I could afford to pull off that project right now because my income isn't what I thought it would be. Thus, I moved the goal post to a slightly higher point where I could theoretically afford the project.
Secondly, I changed the tiers a bit. This is now a primarily rewardless Patreon page. So, really, nothing has changed. I scrubbed the Extra Content tier because I almost never made any extra content and I shared it with everyone when I did. The tier still exists, but it no longer has a specific reward tied to it. I also added a new reward to the next tier up which is video mentions. I'll start listing patron names in a thank you list at the end of project videos for members of the $5 or higher tier. Lastly, I added a $1 tier as a catch all for early releases and the like.
Thank you all for your continued support. As mentioned, Patreon makes up roughly half of my income depending on the month. I legitimately could not make a living doing this without all of your support.

I see, don't know the numbers of income but it sure isn't all that high if one is not really famous.

Right. There is no way I could survive off YouTube income alone at this point.
I know you're probably not allowed to tell us how much you make of YouTube. but when you say your income is not what you thought it would be, do you mean that youtube is not giving you enough and us patreons are merely the only reason you can do this for a living?

Hmm, how did I miss the info that you have multiple tiers? High five feels much more fun and appropriate.
Glad to hear the Wabant project is not dead!
