A question about Patreon (Patreon)
Content
Everyone above $5 gets early access. Usually it would be much earlier but for this one it will be a day or maybe less. That is because this is a big release for me and Brainfeeder are helping me promote it and it makes more sense if it comes out everywhere at more or less the same time.
Now I don't want Cream getting leaked out to everyone before the launch so I created a password protected Vimeo video and will give all the early access folk the password a day early (whilst kindly asking that you don't share it)
The actual properly released video itself is going to be on Youtube and that is the one I want to share with the public, not the vimeo one
OK so the question is: when I post the early access one - does it just charge people above $5 or does it charge everyone?
If it only charges the $5+ then how do I make sure they don't get charged again for the normal release.
OR do I not charge for the early access - and just charge everyone at once for the regular release? and just hope the $5+ don't all change or remove their pledges once they have watched it?
TL;DR
OK I know I have over explained and complicated this but what is the correct Patreon way of releasing something early to those above a certain tier? I know there is an early access option but it doesn't do what I want it to.
