Coronavirus Update: April Billing Is Paused (Patreon)

Hi all -

This post is just to let you know I'm pausing billing for April - whatever tier you're in, you won't be charged for the Popular Patreon on April 1st.

This is because I know a lot of you are small-scale creators yourselves, and a lot more of you are working in precarious jobs, having to make rent, etc. My income has taken a hit from the crisis but not (yet!) a body blow, so I'll review things month by month.

It's also because I almost certainly won't be able to produce the number of posts I'd like to this month, and I don't want to short-change any of the people supporting me. I've been amazed and flattered by how much support this Patreon has got so far!

New patrons are still very welcome - you can subscribe and you won't be billed in April.

When I do restart billing, it'll probably be accompanied by a simplification of the tiers structure. I don't think the $10 and $15 tiers are giving their patrons the value I'd like, so I'm probably going to shift everything beyond actual Popular posts down to the $5 tier. If I do this, I'll announce it in good time.

Good luck to all of you over the next few months. And if you're in lockdown, I hear there's a 960-post blog series about Number 1s you might not have read all of yet....

Cheers,

Tom
