IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE DIGI PATREON!

Hello Patrons! I've given the Digi/Biffo Patreon a bit of an overhaul. I've added an extra tier, which is for anybody who is paying $5 or more a month. I've been toying with this for a while, because I've been wanting to write more regular, more personal, blog posts - and possibly vlogs - that didn't fit elsewhere. and didn't feel entirely comfortable doing it when they'd be accessible to those who might've just signed up on a whim, or out of curiosity. It's going to be the sort of longer-form stuff I'd have once put on Digi, but perhaps sharing a bit more personal insight.

Also, we've got more Patrons than ever now - which is lovely, thank you - but the actual monthly amount they bring in has gone down quite a bit. 

Given changes to Digitiser2000.com (read the FAQ on there if you haven't already) that are happening, and given I want to get a lot more serious about all things Digi and YouTube this year, I'm most likely not doing a new Kickstarter anytime soon, we need to find a way to give extra incentive for people who might be able to pay a little bit more.

I don't really like hiding anything behind a paywall - or asking for money at all - but hopefully the nature of the posts I'll be making - starting today, with part one of my 10 Commandments! - will make it worthwhile. And if it works, and more people sign up and pay more, then you'll hopefully start seeing that reflected in the content I put out for general consumption. I'm considering other ideas for extra Patreon content, and possibly more tiers. But one thing at a time.

I'm not sure if those of you who pay $5 or more have been granted automatic access to the first post, so it may be that you have to actually change that in your settings. Likewise any of you who might fancy upgrading your pledge! Sorry for the inconvenience.

TTFN, chums.

Hola, Ian!

Welp time to upgrade my pledge. Hopefully I'll be able to afford keeping it that way too, I love your work Paul!

Upped to the `price of a decent sarnie` tier from my previous`a packet of crisps` one - well worth it :)

Tyronne Mann

Had to go away for a bit as my finances changed (I did say something like that in my leaving comments, so I hope no offence was taken!) Life is on a more even keel now, and your Facebook post reminded me to come back. Hi!

You’ve talked me into it, tier upgraded

Lyall Moffitt

Bumped up my payment as I'd been putting cash aside on the assumption that a kickstarter campaign would be happening, so now giving it via Patreon.

Treacle Truffle

I've spoken vie twitter about backing any further stuff for a season 2 of Digi. Reading that there wont be a kickstarter any time soon i'll be happy to chip in a bit more.

Mark Honeyborne

More than happy to update to that!

Cool! I've upgraded my tier as well :)

Jeremy Abel

I was considering a custom pledge anyway but now there is a tier, I’m in.

Andrew Edwards

I had to "update" my tier too but it made no difference to me as i've always been in for $5. Keep up the good work Mr B!

(Just) Steve

I don't know! A day after I subscribe to your one and only tier, you go and introduce a second one: Keep up the good work.

Kevin Leah (AKA Zoinks!)

Had to update mine too, it tried to bump me down to $0 from the original amount.

Thanks, you!

Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)

Hello there! I had to go update my tier. That is all!
