So... Give me your opinion on discount offers... (Patreon)

Years ago, I started running affiliate ads on Courting Disaster. Most of them were for Adam & Eve, but a few were from Eden Fantasies.

In an affiliate-ad set-up, I get a commission for every item that someone orders when they click a link from my site. To be honest, this was never much of an income generator. So I pretty much dismissed it.

However, talking to Erika Moen for Surviving Creativity made me reconsider it. It's a big part of how she operates her sex-education Web site.

So I need honest opinions here...

Are you interested in getting discounts to sites like Adam & Eve and Eden's Fantasies through this Patreon page? This could take the form on a text-only line at the bottom of a site post. Like this:

SHOP NOW [I deactivated the link] Take 50% off one item + FREE shipping + free mystery gift at AdamEve today!

...or it could be paired with a special cartoon that features an item from the store. 

• It would be a dedicated post — NOT an add-on to the posts you already receive. For example, it won't appear at the bottom of a random Evil Inc After Dark comic. That way, if you're not interested, you can just ignore it if you're not interested.




• And it would not be frequent — I'm thinking  once-a-month at best. It certainly wouldn't be a regular part of what I put up here.

I really need to hear from you on this.

On one hand, my business brain says it's a win/win. You get a discount on stuff for your next Happy Fun Time, and I get a kickback from the company.

On the other hand, my Midwest conscience says that you're already supporting me — way past my wildest expectations — and this might be seen by some as, well... pushing it.

And the last thing I want to do is sour this thing we're building here.

So give me some thoughts here, people! Don't hold back! If this is a really off-putting idea, then say so. If it's kind of a "don't care either way" thing, then tell me.
