Upcoming changes to my Patreon [IMPORTANT] (Patreon)
Content
Thank you everyone for trying to help me during these trying times!
I have decided that I'm gonna make the change to the prices of my tiers so that the
[1$ tier will turn to 3$]
[3$ tier will turn to 5$]
[The 1$ tier will stay but you will only see my work from up till 21/08/2020]
Doing this will cover the costs of my bills even if only a portion of my patreons go through with this and I am also extremely sorry that I have to do this but its something I have resorted to doing just for my basic needs of paying for food and bills.
Although me increasing the prices doesn't mean I won't be giving back to my patreons. A positive change is that I will be doing SOUND WORK on my mini animations too! Especially the ones that are around 30 seconds long, there will be a gif version and an mp4 version for most of the mini animations. I am willing to put in more work if more people are willing to donate more.
I will most likely be planning on doing this patreon stuff full time if it goes well which means I'll be able to dedicate more time into working on animations and upload more often with most of the videos having sound!
This is all that I could offer more in exchange for more money thank you and sorry for resorting to this.
I have read everyones messages and yes I will have to file for unemployment but I have done this before and I was stuck in it for 2 years before I started patreon, but the problem is the money given from it isnt enough for rent alone and realisticly they wouldn't find a job for me in half a year and if they did manage to hook me up with something, the jobs that they would give me isn't flexible like my previous job, meaning if I do find a new job the hours given to me wouldn't allow me to work on Patreon stuff and I'd have to quit this whole gig because I can't work on 2 things on the same day. It was already hard enough for me to do it previously with my last job. I'm gonna have to take a massive chance at this and see if this new patreon thing works.
I can't really afford to go on unemployment too because previously I was running on my savings to pay bills which is basically running dry at this point and since I'm older I also have no one else to rely on like I use to. I really can't afford to wait around to get another job either because I live in a run down town where every business have been closing down due to covid and any other job thats available requires 5+ years experience.
These changes will most likely be made of today or tomorrow because my upcoming rent is going to leave me really dry with money and I just need enough extra for food and cleaning products. I can't really afford to wait 10 days without taking any action.
Again thank you to everyone who supports me in any way and putting up with this!
