SubscribeStar rewards in the future
Hello everyone.
I really appreciate the support you guys have given me over the months.
Now, I think there is a lack of rewards for A-Tier right now.
I've been doing the commission and polls for A-Tier, but those can't be done often in the time I have now.
Espessialy the commission, takes about two weeks per commission, so I can't reward many A-Tier subscribers.
This is the measure I have in mind
(1) Simpler requests for A-Tier (more frequent)
The illustration made from the poll(request form) that are currently being made are detailed and drawn in.
Some people may want to request "you draw this character for them, as a simple sketch is fine". That's a sketch that will take a day, and I think can draw one or two sketches you want in a week. I'll do this for free. Please help me enhance my drawing skill.
(2) Delete the trust period
I know this is very stressful for new subscribers. But I want to benefit long term supporters. If I turn off the trust period, new subscribers can subscribe to me, receive all of their rewards and then leave. To counter this, I have a third idea.
(3) Get the rewards for a limited time
When a new art is added, I set a time period during which the data for that you can be downloaded. For example, setting for one week.
(4) Sell rewards individually
This is for people who don't have access to SubscribeStar or can't pay with a credit card. I tried to use gumroad to do this, but unfortunately I can't use gumroad at the moment. As a way, I need to use shopify to create a shop site. I have no plans to use Patreon or Fanbox.
I also plan to sell the comics that I have published on E-Tier this way.
(5) Do the commissions also for non-subscribers
The commission are not done very often so I might as well do this for everyone.
It'll probably be after May next year that I'll put all these into practice.
Thanks to your supports, I'll have more time to spend on this activity next year. I'm sorry, but I hope you enjoy with the current way of updating until that day comes.
These sound good changes. Hopefully I can snag a commission slot with you soon too!
I think everyone would like that! I've been limiting my commissions to A-Tier, and I apologize for the infrequency of that! I think can do this because of you guys! Thanks!
My suggestion: Do simple and small stuff, then rise up as you get even more experience
Thanks to your kind🥺 I'm able to practice drawing and take on various challenges steadily!
I really don't like the limited time rewards, and will probably stop subscribing if it's moved to that model. I often don't check my stuff some weeks if work is crazy or something.
I don't think restricting new subscribers from content will stop people from unsubscribing after. I paid and waited 14 days and nearly forgot about this site during that time. When my restriction was up it was disheartening to see the content I had been locked out of was only a couple pages done a year ago. If you want to benefit long term subscribers you could offer them something at later dates, but blocking new subscribers entirely is very dissuading. Can you see when people subscribe? Maybe offer them anniversary of sub rewards instead? But getting the stick right of the bat didn't make me wanna hang around for the carrot... which looks like E subscribers don't get, but non subscribers will? It all sounds kinda bad. :(
Oh! I see. I am a new subscriber and I was a tad confused (and a bit dissapointed) to not get the content immediately. But as a creator myself I see why something like this would be done and it honestly is worth the wait from what I've seen.
