[BTS] Behind the Scenes - Money

Added 2023-09-30 20:36:08 +0000 UTC

Some month ago I raised the minimum Pledge amount from $1.- to $ 3.-, but I gave everything to the old $1 dollar customers as to the new $3 customers.
Please understand, that this must change.
Why?:If I would live from $1.- Patreon I would pay much more than I earn. Even with $3.- Patreons I have a loss. I make a profit, starting at over $7 on Patreons.
Why again? Power costs, are currently extreme. $ 1 Patreons don't cover this. $3.- Patreons, well, and we are just at the Power costs of my graphics workstation.
There is so much more costs, creating all this stuff (Buying 3D models, running a Graphics Workstation, tax consultant, paying tax, online costs, webpage etc.). And oops, my work time. Earnings: Near to nothing in a western world country.
I'm considering giving it up. I know I was the only one who created VR muscle women and was highly praised for it, but it won't do me any good if I go bankrupt. It was an incredible investment of time (over 12 hours a day) and I'm thinking about continuing to work on it. I'm very versatile, but it's no use if I can't maintain a minimum standard of living. I mean things like paying rent and buying food. I don' even have a car, too expensive for me.. This is a last attempt.

Maybe you have ideas?

Thank You.
