Patreon Feedback - 2016
Added 2017-01-02 07:08:22 +0000 UTCHi folks!
So I'm looking back at this year, and I am trying to clean Patreon up some and shore up the infrastructure a little bit. I want to utilize tags more so it's easier to find things, and I want to schedule posts to ensure things like vault sketches get released on a regular basis. Also, I need to update my goals, since we've pretty much demolished the $200 goal, and I've been streaming a few times a month since then.
As far as Patreon goes, how satisfied are you guys? Is there anything you'd like me to examine and possibly fix up to make it better? Do you have a really awesome idea for a reward that you think we should try out in 2017? Let me know either here or in a message! I'm really going to try to make this year one of the best art years yet!

While I like that idea, Patreon has some specific rules against raffles and contests, because it could be subject to online gambling laws. Until they change their policy, raffles and the like are going to have to be out. :)

I figured it'd be a neat idea, especially the small contest thing, to maybe give something a bit extra back to patrons while also getting everyone involved in something that could be a lot of fun.

2017-01-04 17:46:39 +0000 UTCI'd still like to hear it! There's no guarantee I can fit it in, but we'll never know if you don't tell me. :)

2017-01-04 14:34:55 +0000 UTCI had an idea I was considering to throw out, but now that I think about it you've got a lot on your plate as it is, and I'd hate to suggest something that might be an extra unnecessary addition to the workload. ^^;

2017-01-03 05:22:29 +0000 UTCAh, well that's good to hear. There is nothing wrong with toning back the amount you have to do Chibi. Just one of your pieces is enough to brighten most people's day. You're fantastic :D

2017-01-03 00:15:57 +0000 UTCOh, they were totally understanding - I just felt bad, and the whole coordination piece, even though people were flexible and really cool about it, it was just really hard for me.

2017-01-03 00:13:48 +0000 UTCI could probably find a way to make that work! I'd need to see where I'd put it on the rewards scale. :D

2017-01-02 23:31:12 +0000 UTCWhile I was completely fine with you having to leave the private streams for a few moments, I cannot speak for everyone else. I completely understand :)

2017-01-02 19:02:10 +0000 UTCThe big problem I was encountering with the private streams was coordinating four hours of free time. Like with a normal stream, I don't feel bad if I have to get up in the middle of it and disappear for 20 minutes or an hour... But since the private streams were a premium thing, I felt like I had to have that time exclusively allocated to it. I may try setting up traditional commissions (with priority given to Patrons) or figure out some kind of system.

2017-01-02 18:59:58 +0000 UTCWell you know I'd love to see those private streams come back :) I miss them. Other than that, you could always offer smaller commission of single characters for example

2017-01-02 07:36:59 +0000 UTCMaybe a tier where you don't get a full color commission like the two you posted today but rather a sketch?
