January & 2023 Plans, 2022 Retrospective (Patreon)
Content
Happy new year! Let's talk about my plans for this month, then my plans for the year, and finally look back at 2022. I have a LOT to say, so strap in. This post will be public as most of it is general news and no specific patron-only releases are attached to it.
First, let's talk about the remaining releases I have on my plate + January
Nov - 'Desert Empress' (Jackal girl) (poll)
December - Lamia Queen (poll), 'main release 1' (was considering orca girl)
Extra Audios - Spider Girl (owed to someone), TITS Slyveren (bonus for myself)
January's audio I am undecided on. I was thinking of doing more sequels/continuations to other audios. I have some time to decide on it since I am going to focus on Nov/Dec's catchups first. I have been suggested to just 'accept' the loss of November and stop stressing over it, and just get these done in January to start the year off fresh, but idk, I'm very obsessive. Would you guys mind if I just did JUST the January poll and then focused on getting the other 3 Nov/Dec releases done this month?
I need to post the Goblin girl's SFW audio still (today/tomorrow maybe), I've got a snapshot of Dec's supporters I will be using for the credits. Once I've done that, I'll be performing a full audit and refresh of the credit page to get it up to date. I'll have that done by the 8th.
I'm still wrapping up a few $25 tier rewards, I'll have those done for their respective requesters this week. Some are allowed to be posted publicly, so expect some bonus audios. I will send out DMs for this month's $25 tier patrons on the 5th, as always.
Next, let's talk about the future.
I want to get into a routine of '2 major NSFW releases' per month (35-50 min) plus the occasional extra. I think trying to promise more than 2 ended up biting off more than I could chew.
I still want to revisit and do F4F versions of old audios (sticking to 2/mo will help me catch up on this).
I want to do 360-degree VR ASMR still, I have someone I'm working w/ to help me with the tech. My PC can handle it now that I have a 3080. I have software to do this outside of VRC, which is good because it means I can safely make NSFW content in that without risking breaking VRC TOS.
I want to state again that I WILL NEVER RAISE PRICES on this patreon. My goal is to deliver a high quality lewd ASMR experience that everyone can reasonably afford, as I think the cost of luxuries in this day and age is high enough as it is! I have had people advise me to improve my monetization by increasing my prices, and I have outright rejected this idea. I will grow my business by improving my content and better marketing it, not by trying to take more money out of my supporter's wallets.
There's a few things I want to do to patreon that are purely cosmetic - rename the tiers, add some little art to them, make it look more professional.
Additionally, the bonus NSFW art will continue. I intend on doing it for both major releases each month.
Outside of this patreon, I am working on a few projects: I have taken my earnings and begun to reinvest them in developing a porn game with friends. I am working on improve my own artistic skills & my VA skills. Of course, I also continue to stream on Twitch regularly. These activities won't take away from what I produce for Patreon & YT.
Finally, let's look back on 2022.
I don't have as much to say here. 2022 was largely a learning experience for me. I am overwhelmed by the support I've received on patreon & youtube. I am incredibly thankful. Every single person who is here, or who has been here, I say to you from the bottom of my heart: Thank you. You have made a genuine difference in my life. I will keep working hard for you.
Aside from the lost month of November, I am overall very pleased with the quality of work I've put out and with the rate at which I produced it, and I've been able to track a marked improvement in my writing and audio as I've gone through the months.
If you had a favorite audio of 2022, or one you'd like to see sequels of, please let me know! I want to hear from you! I read every comment on here, and your feedback is important to help me move forward and continue improving my releases.
Thank you again for everything.
The next post will likely be a release of some sort; I'm going to wrap up December's $25 tier rewards FIRST and probably release the ones I'm allowed to share in next Monday's news post (I think there's 2-3 short audios I'll be able to share?)
