Coming Soon...

Hello everyone! I have some very exciting news. 👀

I was granted Early Access to two features coming to Patreon. The first is a "Join this community" button which essentially replaces the "Following" button (which people never really use) and it allows anyone to become a "member" without having to pay. They'll get email notifications of all of my Public posts (like this one)! And it makes upgrading to a paid tier more noticeable if they choose to do so.

The second feature is the one I'm most excited about and why I'm making this post... a DIGITAL STOREFRONT! This allows me to set things for sale that folks can purchase, regardless of whether they're a Patron or not.

How do I plan to use the storefront?

I'll be working to add all of my watchalong content to the storefront! These will be uploaded as zipped MP4 files. This will take some time for me to do as I don't keep my MP4 files once they are on YouTube and cleared, just because of storage space (though I really wish I had, but hindsight is always 20/20. I never thought I would need them again). So I'll have to re-export everything. My PC is gonna get some awesome work in every single night now LOL.

Here's what you can expect:

• FILMS: they'll all be listed individually in the store BUT also listed as a bundle when they are part of a series. So non-Patrons will be able to pay one price to get my watchalongs for The Dark Knight trilogy, or the Star Wars films, or all of MCU Phase One, for example
• TV SERIES: bundled on a per season basis and when the show is completely done (like Clone Wars or Rebels), I'll upload the entire show for one price

For folks who are pledged monthly or annually here, the individual movie MP4's in the shop will be free for you by default. However, any bundled stuff (series, seasons, entire shows) will have a price that applies to both Patrons and non-Patrons. 

I'm really excited for this storefront feature, not just for reactors, but for all creators. It'll eventually be rolling out to everyone, I'm just not sure when.

I'll be getting to work on this as soon as I return from my vacation.

The reasons I'm excited:

• A lot of patrons are only interested in one or two movie reactions every once in a while, so this is very ideal for them. They no longer have to worry about signing up just to then process their cancellation and such. This is great for folks who don't really wish to be part of the community either, but still want to support.
• This is REALLY great for people who can't afford being part of my Patreon consistently, but want to show support in some way or get access to a specific thing, kind of like the above.
• I'm able to finally offer the MP4's to y'all without taking up any of my own storage space on a cloud service (like Google Drive) which is why I've never offered this.
• Patreon only takes 5% (plus payment processing) of the listing price. This is compared to 8% (plus processing) for the memberships.
• It's another stream of income for me that exists forever (theoretically) and doesn't rely on me having to consistently post (though don't worry, I'm not going anywhere and posts will always be here).

Any thoughts or questions?! Let me know below!
