OMG!!! It’s been 6 MONTHS ALREADY and I’ve learned so much. As the months progressed, I’ve been able to learn so much about, myself during my new life style adjustment, You all, the business side of things and patreon overall. However, I’m hoping that updating my patreon and operations, this would help the community grow, find a better footing and provide a safe place for artist. While we are at the half year mark, my goal is to adjust and apply what I’ve learned in those months and provide a more interesting experience. Like most of my post this will be a bit lengthy but, I’ll make it brief and if any questions come up, I’ll answer them.
Rewards will NOW be announced a week before the upcoming month. LOL, so I dont know what I was thinking and how my original plan was actually going to work because child….
However, this was always the goal and plan. So starting today, this is how we’ll continue operating.
With that being said— delivery for rewards will and should be a sent out a bit earlier than usual. Since rewards are being advertised and ordered before the next month starts..the first round of rewards will be sent out the 3rd Week of the month. Now these dates can vary due to me being a one person army and product production — but as of now it looks like I should able to deliver rewards within the 3rd week mark. If for any reason rewards in sample club need extra time due to production delays and changes— you will be notified. .
But what does that mean for polls?
Sooooo… not much has change but, a better schedule, 😅. So after having time to see what works ( or in this case wasn’t ), the polls will continue playing a major part of our operations here as a community but, in a more structure manner. These (3) polls and date listings will help us stay on track.
Just to make sure were on the same page: the dates listed are the giving dates of publish. For example: Poll (1) can be posted any day from the 1st through the 3rd. This will allow me time to organize, finish any concept art and plan accordingly.
Poll (1) | The 1st-3rd of the month
Sample club votes the for next months item and has (2) days to do so.
Poll (2) | Next months poll ( 15th - 17th of the month)
This poll will determine next month’s theme and will expire with in 24 hours of publishing. Results will be posted here first. This poll can be found over on my instagram ( a mini reminder to vote will be released to ensure your chances to vote).
Poll(3) | Art pick ( 16th - 18th )
Sticker and sample club will have (2) days to determine what is the reward art for next month
As for scheduling the other amenities ( downloadables, art break downs, WIP’s and art interviews), Schedules for those will be made weekly. And posted asap.
I know this should have been the first step.. but like most people that are afraid to jump because of where we might land, if we don’t immediately soar—I wasn’t prepared. I was as prepared as I was going to be but, I needed to push myself. And so I did— and I’ve been so grateful for you all for allowing me to get my house in order, my mind in check and motivating me to do better every second, Minute, hour, day, week and month. Most people don’t get this opportunity to get the first time right, let alone at all and I’ve been blessed to have you all in my corner. As you all support me I will always learn and do better because thats the best reward I could receive. So thank you for sticking beside me and lets move with our best foot forward. Till then— see you later.
