Goals: the future of my Patreon. This post covers what will be unlocked once certain $$$ goals are met.
I’m excited to officially announce that I will be launching a Patreon on Tuesday, December 4, 2018! That’s just three days away. Everyday until then I will be posting daily about the different tier benefits, goals, and so on about my page so you can learn a bit more and take your time on deciding whether or not you’d like to become a Patron.
The topic of today’s post is on the Goals of my Patreon.
Goals
What are Patreon Goals? They’re an optional feature, but I’m eager to make use of it on my page! As you can see in the GIF, I have four goals set up.
If I receive $25/month, the following tiers will receive these benefits:
- $1 — I’ll increase the number of recommendations (with short blurbs) from 1 to 3. All patrons will receive this benefit.
- $5 — I’ll be able to post a Tip, Thought, or Ramble 2 times a month, up from once a month. $5+ tiers will receive this benefit.
If I receive $50/month, the following tiers will receive these benefits:
- $1 — I will provide written thoughts to accompany my Procreate timelapses. I will also increase the number of recommendations from 3 to 5. All patrons will receive this benefit.
- $5 — I’ll publish a Tip, Thought, or Ramble every week. $5+ tiers will receive this benefit.
If I receive $75/month, I’ll be able to start doing what I love, which is get paid to write critical and personal essays. This is because this is the low-end payment I would receive if I had pitched these essays to online publications. By reaching this goal, I’ll be able to:
- Write and publish a critical or personal essay once a month. This will be available for $5+ tiers.
If I receive $100/month:
- $3 — A monthly poll to determine what full digital art piece I should do that month will become available. This will be open to $3+ tiers.
If I can reach $100 a month, I would be overjoyed. Any future goals will be determined once my Patreon launches and I feel things out!
Now you might be wondering…
What’s the difference between a Tip, Thought, or Ramble of the Month and the critical and personal essays that are unlocked at $75/month?
A Tip, Thought, or Ramble of the Month will be totally unfiltered, slightly edited and minimally organized posts. Think of them as stream-of-consciousness blog posts more so than actual essays.
The critical and personal essays (name TBD) will be written, edited, and treated as if they were professional essays being published on an external publication or magazine. This takes more time, energy, and care than a blog post, which is why they will be unlocked once I reach $75/month, which is (as I mentioned above) the minimum payment I would receive for one of these essays.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to leave them below or @ me on Twitter!
Hope this post was helpful in learning more about my Patreon’s Goals. If you’re sold — great! I look forward to your patronage when my Patreon opens up to the public on December 4.
If you’re still on the fence, I hope the next week of daily posts can further inform your decision to support or not. I’ll be posting about tier benefits, goals, giving you a sneak peek and tour, and more. Please look forward to it!
