Update for future and open discussion
Added 2023-11-22 18:22:52 +0000 UTCHI, guys, first and foremost I would like to thank each and every one of you who support me here on patreon and every person who has ever ordered a commission and thanks to you I am now able to afford to proceed with my master degree.
For 2 months already I am experimenting with the format, advertisement and content to promote my patreon and here are some results.
Format of "freebie models on smutbase and exclusive models on patreon" has proven to be much less efficient than the strategy I used prior "limited version on smutbase full version on patreon" and statistics clearly reflect that, for 2 months already membership number is more or less stagnant. For artworks (renders and animations) things are more or less similar to situation with models.
What's next? First and foremost I am planning to return to old scheme (limited versions are publicly available with full versions available for members), however I will use Deviant art instead of Smutbase to upload my models, secondly I kinda think that I also need to utilise Deviant art and probably reddit much, much more than I do right now to promote art side of my patreon.
Since you guys are the one who fund my work I highly encourage you to point out things that I am doing wrong in your opinion and suggest better alternative, what should I do more, what should I do less, I am always open for feedback, so please share yours!
P.S. I am also right now mentoring one of my patrons on the subject of 3D modelling, let me know if personal mentorship is something you would be interested!
