April 2017 - Update - plus I need your feedback!
Added 2017-04-26 11:32:55 +0000 UTCHowdy! Apologies for being a bit silent, as ever, but I've been busy working on the next little video. It's a weird sketch about a guy who gets brainwashed into buying some weird meat product and tries to complain to customer services. I should have some early prop photos to show you soon ahead of filming next week. The image is a poster for the company who sells the evil meat!
I have something else to run past you guys as I genuinely want your feedback on it; so I'm currently putting together some ideas for possible series I can film for my channel. The idea for the series is that they will be less prop heavy and I can film a few episodes in a day, so same location, shorter sketches etc My plan is still to release my normal videos but release the series episodes in between so I can upload more regularly. As I result I would be uploading more frequently than I have done in the past. I was wondering if it would be better to change my account to pay monthly? But I wanted to ask you guys what you think? I don't want to take the piss, but if it turns out that I'm uploading two videos a month, I don't want to over charge either. Would be grateful to get your thoughts on this. As it stands I'm not changing anything yet/without your feedback, so no need to panic just yet. Thanks again for your support guys! Cheers, Will

Ok cool. Well now my thinking is that I'd only do it if were releasing that regularly otherwise it would be over charging you guys. The series would be a one off I'd probably go back to posting less frequently after. I think I'd probably just charge once for the whole series. Or maybe once at the beginning and once at the end? Definitely not each episode and probably won't shift to monthly after all.

The catch is it can end up being more money, as it would in your case mean more donations. I think if you just consult whoever your level 6 patreon is, you'll be golden.

2017-05-16 22:58:52 +0000 UTCThanks! I'm grateful for your thoughts on it. All helps me out. I'll have a think about the rewards if I change it... I'm no expert either....

2017-04-26 16:01:59 +0000 UTCMaybe, I'm no expert on patreon or money or the whole youtube thing, but I just think it might need tweaking or newer viewers might not be interested in donating. Unlikely, but just thought I'd mention it as a just in case thing

2017-04-26 15:51:49 +0000 UTCYeah that's a good point, the monthly payout limit is useful. I'd just have to remind everyone to set it if my frequency was to get too high I suppose. Hmmmmm.... Food for thought...

2017-04-26 15:32:29 +0000 UTCI’d pay you with MY SOUL if need be. Also I think the sign is meant to say ‘where OUR meat’, or maybe I don’t get it— I’m Spanish lol.

2017-04-26 15:08:26 +0000 UTCSounds like an interesting sketch! On changing to a pay-monthly, there is the option for people pledging money to set a limit that they want to pay for a month (for pay-per-video types like yours), don't know if that works out the same way as paying monthly? I guess it would depend on how many videos monthly, but either way is fine to me personally.

2017-04-26 12:05:52 +0000 UTCSounds good to me! You might need to change some of the rewards though if you're gonna do that, to keep it balanced
