Hi there! I'm thinking about changing the prices of my tires, raise them a little, but before I do it, I want to know what you think about it. Would you be cool with it?

I wouldn't mind if you raised a little (I mean if it's like an additional $2 or something sure). Anything higher I would have to lower my support since I could no longer afford too. That will make me very sad :< btw gonna poke ya to ask but did you send out last months commission? If you didn't then I can stop worrying but if you did then I should start yelling at my mailman for losing it. It usually comes around the 26-28 of the month. Also also saw some zines on your Tumblr...WHY SO MANY I CAN'T BUY?! 。・゚゚・(>д

I think I can give 10$, it's twice more than i give until now (hard -> expert + 2$) but not more (I hate you VAT) . Or I return in hard of course, it's not a problem in itself, I don't want to stop to support you :)

Yes! You spend an absurd amount of time on your commissions and such and you’re probably making 1/3 of minimum wage on each one and barely anything on the sticker/postcard tier. It’s all sold out, too, so for those of us that want to support more, we can’t even get into the discord because it’s all sold out! I’m so glad that you’re doin this, you deserve to ❤️

Honestly, I'd probably have to drop mine if the tier price went up, since it's already at the limit of what I can afford. But art is definitely worth making a living wage, so you gotta do what's right for you!

I think for sure higher tiers where you're basically offering one on one help as well as some physical items you're shipping out for sure don't feel bad for highering those! There's no way at the price you're offering them that you're paying off your expenses, or even compensating for your time. Saying that honestly the two lowest -- those are basically just asking for access to your art feed. They're just paid tumblrs lol. But then again if you raised them a couple dollars or so, I know it wouldn't affect my support at all. hopefully that was helpful! And don't feel bad doing what you need to do to make a living. :)

I definitely don't mind at all raising things an extra $2-3 on the hard+ tiers, you have to make a living after all! I always kinda thought that the higher tiers looked like you'd barely make a profit, so I'm more than happy to pay a little more!

I'll ship it this week! I was super busy lately and your package just lies there and waits for me to move my ass haha I'm sorry xD and hoboiii i'm in SO MANY ZINES

Alex

for example paying $2 more is okay with me

You should definitely raise your prices! With all the time it takes to create, package, and ship everything, I'm sure it's way more than what you are making currently. Also only paying $8 for a commission, plus postcards is just pure ridiculous. Your art and time is worth WAY more than that. <3 I'm all for a price hike.

helwolves

you DEFINITELY should! though I will add that I think everyone should have a $1 tier that is at least just occasional updates, a lot of us can't spend much on multiple patreons but having $1 tier is more like letting us give a tip.

Maybe move the $3 to $4. the $5 to $8. $8 to 10. $15 to $18. and add like 1 or 2 $25 (or $30) as an Expert + Notice Me reward?
