The future, goals, and tiers (Patreon)
Content
First of all, CH 61 was released earlier today, if you haven't read that please head over and get your reading on.
The Patreon is now at $150, which is about 50% higher than I ever expected it to go. Technically at 45 subscribers I should be near $200 or so, but Patreon takes a pretty hefty fee, I should really get Kofi setup already I might do that soon.
Regardless, I have two tiers. The standard $5 tier, and a $10 tier. No one's ever joined the $10 tier, and that makes sense, why would they? It exists solely so we can hit goals faster if someone truly wants to support the story, but I've never really explained what those goals are.
Ideally it was always going to be something like this:
$70, I start doing weekly skits.
$300, I start doing an extra chapter every week. So once we hit $300, you could look forward to 4 chapters instead of 3.
$600, I wanted to start releasing 5 chapters a week, 3 of which public.
And for any goals past that I hadn't really thought about it, but I'd probably start working on a second project involving Sakura, maybe a permanent side story that updates all the time like "Sakura in SAO" but like for real, or something dumb.
Those goals aren't set in stone, and I certainly don't think we're going to hit $300, but I didn't think we'd hit $150 so let's not pretend I'm not wrong all the time. It turns out I'm not terrible at this, and apparently people like my writing. Sounds a little farfetched, but that's not my call to make, it's yours.
My question was, and the reason I made this long winded post, is what kind of things could I add to the $10 tier or even other tiers, to make them more enticing. What would I have to add to a $10 tier for you to be interested? I'm not asking from a place of pressure either, to be clear, $10 is a whole pizza. I get it. But in general, if you did have money to spend, what would entice you to jump to a $10 tier?
