Should I change up the tiers starting right away?

Hello, my friends!

I wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for how awesome you continue to be, and let you know that you all mean the world to me. It’s because of you that I can keep writing, knowing I have people like you cheering me on and even offering me constructive ways to improve.

As the current book you're enjoying comes to an end, I’ve been reflecting on how I can provide better and more consistent value to you. A pretty cool thing happened, and I was offered a fantastic career-building opportunity with a major audiobook publisher for this current work in progress. I accepted, which means I'm not entirely certain if I'll be able to provide advanced copies of the audio either here or on my website directly.

Here's the thing:

I'm currently finished with another two books beyond what I have posted here, which means I could jumpstart the following changes: we’d get a massive jump on new chapters if we do make this change. As far as I know, there's no downside to doing this, but I wanted you to have a say before I just made sweeping changes.

Those are the main reasons I'm thinking of changing the tier rewards, but I’d like to float what I’ve been thinking and see what you all think before making the changes. Please, in the comments, let me know what you think!

Nothing is lost from the current tiers (audiobooks become a bit more iffy, I'm trying to offset that with additional chapters) you just get more content, faster.

(potential) New Patreon Tiers:

$1 Tier

$3 Tier(New tier)—

$5 Tier

$10 Tier

$15 Tier

$25 Tier

$50 Tier

$100 Tier

These changes are designed to give you more value, and I believe now is the perfect time for this update… but if I’m wrong, go ahead and tell me! I’m always hoping to listen and improve.

Comments

totally understood! I can look into this, perhaps I can ping the Discord patreon area?

I have only one request, find a way for us to get notifications when new chapters become available. As of right now only the highest early chapter tier gets notifications when you post new chapters. Patreon doesn't notify people when a post becomes unlocked for their Tier. It means I have to constantly check. And with a 1 year old I just don't have the brain power or time to do that.

I am assuming that the tiers are inclusive of the prior tier? So you get say a paperback code and the potential of audiobooks at 25 and at 50 you get paperback, hardback, and audio?
