Why $3 a Month for Early Access?
Added 2018-05-26 00:26:58 +0000 UTCHere is a response I gave to someone who was a little confused why I am bumping up the early access tier to $3. I just want to be transparent with everyone and I think you will understand my reasoning behind this after you read it
"It is because I have been overwhelmed with the amount of tv shows I am editing. I have 4 shows to edit and i am only one person. And I try to do multiple episodes of each show a week. I am a mom of two boys 2 years of age and a 6 year old and I also work to take care of my brother with disabilities. It is overwhelming to take on all of these tasks by myself. Other Channels charge 5 dollars for early access and I had only been charging 1 dollar for an unlimited amount of access to videos. most of my time is focused on editing and reacting now and I believe pushing it to 3 dollars a month makes sense for the amount of work I put into this channel. If you cannot support this channel because of the 3 dollar tier that is fine. Thank you for the support these last months though."

Done and done I’ll easily pay the added amount

2018-05-27 09:23:48 +0000 UTCI think the best idea would be to have 4 tiers, a $1 one for people who just want to support, a $3 one for current shows, a $5 one for select shows and a $10 one for full length or super early access or that congralutory thing it's currently for (although i think that should be higher honestly).

2018-05-26 18:17:37 +0000 UTCAgreed, having a 1dollar and 10 dollar tiers confused the crap outta me. The 1 dollar is whateveryone else charges like 5 for and the 10 is what everyone else charges like 15 or 25 for so I wanted to pay more than 1 but the 10 - which I've been paying - felt a little bit much so a 3 and 5 makes perfect sense

2018-05-26 18:16:57 +0000 UTCI'm only supporting 3 patreon, and your videos are sincere and very entertaining. I will support you even at 5$. Thank you for you awesome work. ^_^

2018-05-26 10:50:07 +0000 UTCTo be honest, I would even support you guys if you would charge $5 a month. 10 is where I draw the line or expect something more (full lenght or something like that) I have been thinking from the beginning that $1 is waaay too cheap for this great quality and entertainment. You don't have to explain yourselves in my opinion. Keep on rocking. It's appreciated.

2018-05-26 07:43:53 +0000 UTCshiiiiiiiit bump it up to $10, i'll still support you
2018-05-26 06:36:40 +0000 UTCHey guys ! I understand from this post that Imon doesn't have that much free time if any at all. But would you still consider doing full length reactions with a timer ? I know I'd be willing to pay for another tier giving access to those !
2018-05-26 04:09:10 +0000 UTCNo worries! I was shocked that you only had it at 1$. From what I can tell the standard on patreon seems to be 5$

2018-05-26 03:18:48 +0000 UTCI’ll gladly do $3 if you want to do $5 you should at the end of the day this is a job as well and maximizing your income is what’s best for you. So who am I to get mad when I’d do the same thing and don’t have nearly as many responsibilities. Keep up the great work though!
2018-05-26 02:19:04 +0000 UTCYea I know from experience that work editing videos is indeed hard, often long work. Keep it up, Imon and know your true fans will stick with you. You have mine and my Lady's constant support!
2018-05-26 01:11:42 +0000 UTCI’m glad you bumped up to $3, you totally deserve it! You should consider reacting to Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
2018-05-26 01:05:12 +0000 UTCIts fine by me as long as you respect the schedules you settle :)

2018-05-26 00:58:12 +0000 UTCI have for sure, A huge reason Blindwave does so well aside from the fact that they are genuinely awesome people. Is the fact that they have editors so that means they can produce a lot of great content more so than those without editors. If Patreon does better financially, I will be hiring editors for sure. Abi also wants to start editing but I have to teach her first. But I can see us growing within the next few months and being able to react to more shows than we are now :)

2018-05-26 00:53:50 +0000 UTCI also wish I had more experience with video editing. I'd help out lol
2018-05-26 00:51:50 +0000 UTCI will happily pay more. I enjoy watching your videos 😄
2018-05-26 00:45:14 +0000 UTCI bumped up immediately, thank you for all your hard work and I'm excited to see more. If you ever need to take a break please do, cause you deserve it.

2018-05-26 00:39:56 +0000 UTCHave you looked for an editor thats willing to work for you? If a main issue is that you're feeling overwhelmed with all the things you have to do then you should probably look into easing that stress, regardless of the cost of tiers. You definitely can raise the cost to whatever you want, as patrons we are supporting you, not the amount of videos, but there's no need to work yourself to death just for the internet. Take care of yourself.
2018-05-26 00:39:35 +0000 UTCOh and of course, bumped. $3 is still cheap. You post tons of content every single week
2018-05-26 00:38:07 +0000 UTCWow! Your a mom you look so young

2018-05-26 00:36:58 +0000 UTCHave you thought about hiring an editor once you reach a certain monthly goal? Other reactors I support on Patreon (Blind Wave, Semblance of Sanity, not sure if The Normies have one) do it and it seems to help them manage things much better.

2018-05-26 00:36:15 +0000 UTCI bumped up my tier to $3 because y’all are my favorite reactors and I love your content.
2018-05-26 00:34:58 +0000 UTCIt's all fine, when I discovered your patreon page I was surprised to see such a low price. $1 is ridiculous. I almost contacted you to ask why the fuck is it not $5 (five bucks is the perfect price for this activity). Sure you will loose some supporters who cannot afford $3 (probably people from less developed country I guess), but you have to care more about yourself. It's the right move to make.
2018-05-26 00:34:39 +0000 UTCCompletely understand, get paid for the time you put into editing and creating content. Get your money fam

2018-05-26 00:33:02 +0000 UTCI was honestly confused by the 1 dollar tier (thought you were underselling yourself) im happy to support
2018-05-26 00:32:37 +0000 UTCI understand, honestly compared to most other channels, and the amount of work you put in, $3 a month is still a low price. I'll bump up my tier at the end of this month
