State of the Patreon: How can I further help YOU!
Added 2022-09-09 17:52:02 +0000 UTC
Additional post for today. I decided to put my Patreon disclosed dollars as public rather than private after some recommendations. Psychology and all that on marketing, but the answer came down to transparency, so everyone knows how much I make now.
In terms of trends, the amount has evened out since May. I usually make a little over 2,000USD before the new month starts and it dips back to around 1500-1700USD, and then builds back up to then repeat the process. As far as I can tell, this is fairly normal, and I'm in a good spot right now. Not nearly enough for me to do this full time, I should note. It's only half of what I make regularly in a given month, so I'm not looking to jump yet (and I enjoy my professional work. Very comfortable).
That said! I am a sucker for marketing and I love surveying my friends, I have developed a survey that I'd like to use to get some valuable data out of my audience so I know what the hell I'm doing. My main goal of course is to see how can I improve my services here, as I want to maintain more patrons over time even in these troubling times.
I'm planning on keeping this patreon only for a day or two to gather data, and then after that I'll put it on my twitter since that's where I want to get further patrons.
It definitely means a lot that you guys (about 450 out of 33k followers) care about my work enough to compensate me for it, so I hope to do you right in the coming future. Let me know if you have any questions and please look at the survey. Thank you!
