Bathtub

Hey, hope you all had a great weekend. I was so tired from shooting all last week that I really zoned out over mine... Ate too many Porto's pastries. Watched a lot of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It was totally great!

But I'm back with more content than ever and some fresh new ideas to flesh out. I also realize you're all part of my process now, and I'm going to do my best to share more of the details as to how I aim to grow and where my focus goes from day to day.

Some updates & random thoughts bouncing around in my head: 

• I need to focus on growth here before I can do anything really fun with it. We're really barely sustaining right now. I have other income from freelance modeling/acting gigs and occasional brand collabs, but this is the project that can get me ahead, that can get me on my way to an advanced degree, and fund my other ideas. A lot of Patreons are moderated by a third party, but I do everything personally so 1) I know what I'm doing and 2) Pledges come straight to me, not lining the pockets of some middle-aged marketing bro.
  
• Re-working my tiers resulted in a small bump in pledges, for which I'm eternally grateful. Everyone that has pledged and stuck around have laid the foundation for the next phase, and that is active sharing.
  
  Reddit can be extremely powerful... If each one of my Patrons shared one of my Youtube videos or photos once a week on a relevant subreddit, it could flood my Youtube with viewers and potential new Patrons!
  
  Also, feel free to follow me on reddit https://www.reddit.com/user/thecaitlynrose
  
• Even just one or two really good months hitting my streaming goal (250 patrons) would provide me with the capital to invest in expensive lingerie & swimwear, custom cosplay wardrobe, working with a major photographer like https://www.instagram.com/thankyoumrfelix or https://www.instagram.com/jonnycinematic, an editor to turn videos around faster, and the opportunity to cross collaborate with one of your other favorite Patreon models!
  
  It really could explode overnight. I've seen it happen!
  
• In case you hadn't noticed, SofaSurfers (the Twitch stream where I frequently appeared as a co-host) has gone on hiatus. I am not really in the know regarding why or when we might be back on, but hopefully soon!
  
• I am still hosting the SUPERGOOD VIP Snapchat (last week & this week) so I'm having to spend time creating special content for them, BUT I think this will work out for the best since I'll be able to use all that footage to make a video later.
  
• I started sketching again (following Youtube tutorials.) I wanted to return to a tactile art like painting and sketching, but sadly still can't quite bring myself to do art for art's sake. I am learning to sketch a proportional figure in order to start designing body chains, swimsuits, and lingerie. This is a way for me to be creative outside of the digital and modeling world... to use my hands to make something, from concept to creation.
  
• Halloween is coming up wayyyyy too fast. I don't even have plans yet. I have a few costume ideas but very little to speak of. Damn. OK I'll get on that today.
