Not sure what to do
Added 2023-03-01 14:02:27 +0000 UTCI've learned from the BBC website (which is largely drivel) that there's this thing to get you to click. What happens is they tempt or "bait" you with a title that withholds large and critical pieces of information that would help you know whether you want to click or not. I call this technique "Tempt-Link" and I'd like us all to begin using it in parlance so it takes off.
Meanwhile I'm not sure what to do with this Patreon. On the one hand I'd like it to be a source of all new exciting stuff I've been doing and, you know, what other people do on Patreon (I suspect, I don't really know) but the fact is that
a) I work slowly.
b) I don't "generate content" online very much. It's mainly been a side-thing for me. That's how youtube began. Just stupid stuff without caring about numbers or what people thought.
3) I don't think any of you would appreciate me telling you what I'm working on because, well, I don't have much to show. I mean, right now I'm doing this special which means I'm going through about 9 hours of footage and voice chat. I took off me playing fortnite with a series of 12 year old children/teammates I was randomly paired up with and trying to isolate the funny bits.
4) I'm well aware of how that doesn't sound great but hopefully you get what I mean. I also need to work out how to get in touch to ask them whether I can use their voices.
5) Speaking of voices I'm also using a voice to voice ML thing to do some sketches. With myself.
VI) I'm also listening to voice notes I made trying to find things funny in there. And writing out my video game idea and watching tutorials on how to make one (hard).
VII) I'm off to California to stay with my friend Jim at the end of this month so looking forward to that and planning what I want to get done there.
VIII) I think I've got a comic sci-fi novel in me. Whether it chooses to emerge; time will tell.
So I'm doing lots of things but I don't know whether they'd be of interest to you. I suppose my main questions are how I should best run this patreon. Should I just have two fixed tiers and both of them are just "if you like what I do that'd be great" or should I actually sort it out and try and post content.
The one thing I could offer I suppose is that I will always reply to messages sent to me on here. It may take me a while but I will do.
Anyway. I'd appreciate any of your feedback. God knows how many of you there are. Probably four. I think I keep haemorrhaging* patrons. and I take it personally.
Anyway what do you think?
* can we just take a moment and wonder if anyone spells "haemorrhaging" right first time.
