BEnchmark Rewards

Hey there, Oxdarock here!

I'm in the middle of updating my Patreon. As I'm writing this, I'm re-writing the guide page that has a complete list of how I run my Patreon. I've also edited the patreon reward tiers a bit to even things out now that paid posts will be single pages.  Because I can only set whole dollar amounts, the maximum amount of paid posts I'll make during the month will now be 5 instead of 4. Everyone on the $1.25 and $3.75 tiers are still there, however to avoid confusion, I suggest making adjustments to your pledge as soon as possible. I would also like to add that, while all tiers will now be able to see full updates, I will be holding back some exclusives (mainly finished versions of special commissions) for the $2 tier and above 

The last thing I've done to balance my Patreon and the main thing I wanted to talk about are BEnchmark Rewards (no, that's not a typo). Simply put, these are extra rewards for patrons whose lifetime pledges reach a certain amount here on my Patreon. The BEnchmarks for each tier is the equivalent of 2 fully charged months of 5 posts according to the tier level. So for example:

Level 1: $10, $20, $30, $40...

Level 2: $20, $40, $60, $80...

Level 3: $30, $60, $90, $120...

Level 4: $50, $100, $150, $200...

The BEnchmark reward is a temporary tier increase of rewards. Basically, if a patron on the Level 1 tier meets a BEnchmark, then for the next month they'll have access to Level 2 tier rewards until the month ends (still need to think of something for Level 4 tier though). Assuming that I'm able to keep a steady pace every month, this shouldn't be too much of an issue, but I may need help when it comes to voting poll suggestions and commission discounts. I'll be implementing the BEnchmark system the next month patrons are charged. Also, I'll be changing up the titles of the tiers soon so that BEnchmarks makes more sense...

That's all for now!
