Question for my amazing followers:
Added 2023-10-13 19:48:44 +0000 UTCI've got a question for you all, and your input is incredibly valuable to me. π¬
Do you feel I'm treating you fairly when it comes to content access? Specifically, I'm curious about your thoughts on whether exclusive access to full comic pages should remain for Patreon followers, or if it's alright to release some pages on Twitter as well?
I'd like to mention that when someone leaves Patreon, they have the option to share their reasons, which is immensely helpful to me as a creator. If you ever decide to leave and have concerns or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know. Constructive criticism helps me identify areas for improvement, and I genuinely appreciate it.
Recently, a few people questioned the value of paying when I also release pages on Twitter. I want to clarify that while I do share some pages on Twitter, I never release the entire comic there. In the past, I used to post the first 8 pages and then encouraged readers to join Patreon for the complete experience.
For the last two comics, I did release a few more pages on Twitter, but these were set up as challenges to grow our Twitter community, which plays a vital role in reaching new patrons. Still, the full comic remains exclusive to Patreon supporters.
Your support means the world to me, and I want to ensure you're always getting a fair deal. Hence, this question. Please share your thoughts or any suggestions you may have. I'm here to listen and learn.
Sending lots of love your way! β€οΈ - Trev

They saw me posting pages here and then later pages on Twitter and just didn't realize I wasn't posting the entire comic on Twitter. I will however go back to my old format of 8 pages and the rest of the time posting little snippets of the pages. If they want to read the comic they can buy it or become a patron. I think I might of let them have just a little too much say on Twitter when I really should be listening and investing in the people who are actually helping support me.

2023-10-15 10:54:32 +0000 UTCThanks for your feedback. I do try and keep a good page supply ahead of Twitter for you guys as well so that you already know key points of the story well in advance. Like I mentioned Twitter will never get the entire comic though because I feel if you are a fan you will want to support the artist who are dedicating their time and energy to do it. Thanks again though.

2023-10-13 21:31:06 +0000 UTCHonestly the other reason why you should do public releases on Twitter is to get your stuff out there so ppl know you exists. The only other locations I find new artists to sponsor are MRM and ehentai. So it's hard to find new gay nsfw comics.... and don't ask me about patreon search dear God is that a hot mess.

2023-10-13 21:27:23 +0000 UTCI consider patreon early access and Don't take issue with you doing Public release xxx amount of time later.

2023-10-13 21:25:01 +0000 UTCYou're doing ok the way things are. Teasers are fine on twitter, you have to be able to advertise. Co-Publishing the whole series over there would be problematic though. (As some others do whilst swearing the works are patreon exclusive, but that's a different discussion)
