Hi everyone!
It's been over 5 years since I've opened my Patreon, and the price and rewards structure has always been the same. Don't worry: I know inflation has been high during these years, but I have no intention to raise tier prices.

I prefer to keep it simple.
I perceive there's a bit of confusion about current tiers. I've done my best to specify which rewards each tier gets, yet many people subscribe to the first tier just to switch to the 2nd minutes later. Most of you prefer the €9 tier anyway.

I also don't like that, with currency conversion, the €9 becomes $10.50 or worse.

So, I would love your honest take on switching to a single tier option of €7.
It may be risky for me, but I also hope the better value would allow more people of this awesome community to support the project.
I would spend less time on post scheduling, and put that time into even better story crafting. The choice to join would be the clearest and simplest possible.

What do you think I should do?
I'm very interested in your ideas, I hope you'll find the time to vote and to leave a comment.

Thank you for your time,
LenioTG.

You're a story teller, who gives the characters time to develop. Don't lose that. With regard to tiers, I'm happy with the current tiers, as it has an entry level that might be of interest to users not familiar with your work and/or style of story telling. Jumping straight into a €7 tier might deter new supporters.

Thank you very much Delicurious! Being a story teller is exactly what I'm trying to do, and there's no way that's gonna change: having a full-time job gives me less time to create stories, but also more freedom to do that how I want it. I had not considered the "jumping straight into it" part. Thank you for your input.
