Update of my donation tiers (🇺🇸) (Patreon)

→ Lire en français 🇫🇷

Hi there!

For years, my donation levels looked like this:

Tier 1 - €3

1 new set per month

Access to 1/3 of all sets

Tier 2 - €6

2 new sets per month

Access to 2/3 of all sets

Tier 3 - €15

1 new set per week

Access to all sets

As some of you may have noticed, over the past few weeks I've been trying to update my different tiers on Patreon, with a new hierarchical logic between each tier. For various reasons, I wanted to give priority to my oldest photos for the most generous subscribers. The other two tiers wouldn't have had any change in the publication cadence except that they would only have access to these publications for 2 months, after which they would be reserved for the highest tier.

Basically, they were supposed to look like this:

Tier 1 (formerly Tier 2) - €6

1 new set every two weeks

Accessible for 2 months

Tier 2 (formerly Tier 3) - €15

1 new set per week

Accessible for 2 months

Tier 3 (new) - €50

1 new set per week

Access to all sets with no time limit

As I said earlier, I'd managed to keep the ex-Tier 2 and 3 subscribers at the same publication rate, and the price unchanged for them.

However, I've noticed that a lot of you have left (a lot, really). Although the main reason given was noble, I can't help but see a link.

I note two mistakes I may have made:

At no point did I tell you about this change.

Perhaps the prices were too high.

As a result, I'm now trying to backtrack.

I've gone back to the old donation tier logic, bye-bye time limit. However, I've increased the tiers anyway, because I feel that if you subscribe today, you'll have access to far more photos than when I started in 2021.

The final donation levels:

Tier 1 - €6

1 new set per month

Access to 1/3 of all sets

Tier 2 - €12

2 new sets per month

Access to 2/3 of all sets

Tier 3 - €25

1 new set per week

Access to all sets

Conclusion

Thanks to all of you who have supported me in my work over the years, I'll be eternally grateful. I'm still trying to make a living from my passion, and without your help I think I'd have given up.

What next?

It's been a long time since I've given any news, so I'm taking advantage of it: some really cool photos will be coming out in the next few weeks and months (collabs with @kalathea_ and @pastaboxxmiams among others...). But above all, I'm going to try my hand at a new project over the next few months. A real long-term project, a photographic report where I promise to keep you informed, especially here, as the situation progresses. I can't say any more for the moment, but I can't wait to share it with you!

Thanks again to you, thanks for reading, and have a great day! ✨
