Monthly Summary - December 2019
Added 2020-01-03 12:31:47 +0000 UTCHappy New Year, everyone!
The world is on fire but we're still going, so there's that. As always, thank you for the support this past month, and a huge thank you for everyone who's joined recently!
Recap:
I got through my commission queue in December and went on a small holiday break. During my break I did some research in marketing and passive income. My plan is to keep studying on the side and building up a side hustle in print on demand and digital products.
2020 will be a year of me doing fewer conventions due to this. I love attending them, but it's something that has me investing a lot of money months in advance (around 500€ per convention that requires me to travel, sometimes more). My profit margin for them is usually on the lower end, last year it was due to me not having the time and energy to produce a lot of new merch.
I did get my official confirmation for Dokomi though! Still waiting for Comic Salon Erlangen at this time and hoping I hear back from them soon.
Update on Ko-fi prices:
I will make a real post and price sheet for them soon, which will also be the time they officially open up again.
Old Collector tier Patreon pricing was 3 Ko-fi (9€) for black and white busts and 5 Ko-fi (15€) for colored busts.
I'm bumping these prices to 5 Ko-fi (15€) for b/w and 8 Ko-fi (24€) for colored.
To do:
I'm going to make a pinned masterpost for this page with helpful links so new and old patrons don't have to go digging for content.
This month's pin-up will be posted sometime next week!
