Match Lab 2018 crowdfunding wrap-up!
Added 2018-06-02 04:19:25 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
In short, my crowdfunding campaign was a hit! An additional 101 people generously joined my Patreon campaign. These new supporters are collectively pledging US$1,762 per month. This amount sits on top of my pre-existing funding base of $426 per month.
Assuming all of my new supporters continue their newly-made pledges, it means I now have an additional A$28,708 to support my cartooning each year, on an annualised basis. That is huge!
I was particularly pleased to see so many supporters who made sustainable pledges that they are likely to be able to maintain into the future. As you know, I am keen to continue this cartooning for a long time, so I was chuffed to see so many people keen to support me along this journey.
Oh, and in addition, all of these pledges allowed me to reach the maximum available Match Lab grant of A$10,000!
This Match Lab campaign has taken my Patreon campaign from a base ‘proof of concept’, to something that has genuinely allowed me to quit the part-time job that I was working 10 hours per week. Consequently, I will be dedicating more of my focus to my comics.
Once again, a BIG THANKS to everyone for helping me.
I'll be back with new comics in the near future. Cheers,
