Explaining Tiers & "Schedule" (Patreon)
Content
Howdy ladies and gents, so we have gotten a lot of new patrons over the past few months and I want to thank you for joining and supporting me. Never in my wildest dream would I have expected people to enjoy my reactions enough to support me. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
This is an update/explanation! To the Patreon for those that are not really sure how tiers and the "schedule" work
Below I will try my best to explain the tiers as well as the Schedule/non-Schedule.
If you have any questions leave them in the comments section and I will do my best to answer.
Do I Have A Schedule?
I kind of dont but also kind of do, I know thats confusing as hell but it's honestly the best way to say it. Its not a schedule the way other creators have where every week on a set day of the week you get a show. I have tried to do that but things always happen where I miss a day and things get pushed back and then the schedule is messed up and catching up becomes a whole issue for me. The way I do the "schedule" is that i look at how many days have passed since I last reacted to a show. If it's been 6-7 days I know it's time for me to watch the next episode. I do get behind and sometimes it may take 8,9,etc.. days but I will watch it.
Now some will say that I do too many shows and I should not do so many shows so I can just finish the ones I started with quicker. Well here is where we bring in some of my views on that.
Which shows get eliminated. How does that get decided? I dont really want to eliminate any show I'm doing. I love watching new things and seeing new stories.
I also like to believe that what has led to many of you becoming Patrons is the fact that you dont just watch 1 show I'm doing, I like to think you have multiple shows I'm doing that you watch. Shows not many others are doing. Shows like Dexter, Veronica Mars, Chuck, Nikita, Person of Interest, Malcolm in The Middle, The Office, etc..
Maybe I'm doing this thing all wrong. I feel that my channel and Patreon is more the Netflix model approach. The value of a $1 is something I dont take for granted and when someone gives $$$ to me I feel I owe them the best I can do. So going the way that You just have a lot of things you can choose from. Hopefully it makes the value seem more worth it.
The Greenlight tier was a way to get people who wanted me to watch a show that maybe wouldnt win in Voting Polls a chance for me to watch. I never expected it to be as popular as it was and in all honesty maybe I priced that tier a bit low lmao.
Let's Talk Tiers.
All the $1 Tiers seem pretty easy to follow. A few days before the Episode goes up on YouTube anyone at this tier will get access to the Episode in Full Reaction Unedited Form.
$2.99 Tier: This is the same thing but just for 10 shows. Which if I'm being honest I think anyone at that tier if they could should move up to the $5 tier becuase you get so many more shows, as well as episodes way way earlier.
$5 Tier: This is the best Value Tier. Here you get everything and you get most shows extra early. The exception is any new show that I take on will show up at the $10 tier first. They will come here eventually but only after the $10 tier is a few episodes ahead.
Example: When Episode 3 of Gimore Girls is recorded the $10 Patrons get access to it. At this point the 1st Episode unlocks for the $5 tier Patrons.
$10 Tier: This is a tier that took me a while to make me feel like it had value. But I think its finally at a place where I feel it's worth it. Here you get access to all Pilot Prgram Shows(Shows that were selected for me to watch the Pilot of) and you also get early access to any new show I do. You will almost always be at least 2 episodes ahead of the $5 tier. You will also see movie reactions if I ever do them.
$15 Tier: This is where you can request Pilots to shows as well as something I just recently added which allows you to request any Episode of any show that is part of the Pilot Program. You can ask for the next Episode for a show like iZombie or you could request i watch the pilot to The Walking Dead. You can mix and match how ever you want. You get two reactions added to the queue of shows I react to every month.
$60 Fast Track Tier: I do a show you really like but you want more episodes of that show a week. This tier gets you up to 3 episodes of that show a week.
$60 Greenlit Tier: You Request A Season Of A Show And It Will Be Added To The Queue For A Reaction.
Well hopefully that explains the tiers for you so you better understand how they work.
Nothing Under This Matters For Now. Just My Thoughts.
I have some other ideas for fuure tiers
$??? Tier: Short Season Reaction
$??? Tier: A Binge Tier Where I Watch Your Show 5 Days A Week.
$?? Tier: A Producer Tier where you are seen as a producer on the reactions.
These are just random thoughts I have and may never see the light of day.
Well that's all I got for now, hope you better understand how the Patreon works.
