[patreon] annual donations & tier currencies
Added 2020-10-08 10:56:54 +0000 UTCHey roomies!
Here are some changes I've just made for my Patreon page, they shouldn't affect your donations (unless you want it to), but I wanna make all these changes baby-butt clear just in case:
Annual membership activated: Patreon recently added a feature to pay an annual donation (instead of monthly), so after reading up on it I thought I'd activate it for those who would be interested! It also adds a form of comfort and stability for creators :>
Tier currencies (euros): Patreon also recently made a change in the currencies available, initially all $$$, now there's a choice to receive our patreon income in pounds and euros as well. Since I live in Europe and have an easier time working with euros (and possibly save up on currency fees), I decided to switch it up to euros. From what I understand, if you've been paying in dollars/pounds/euros, this doesn't change anything for you. It'll only show the donation tiers in euros if your local currency is something other than dollars, pounds or euros.
Let me know if this creates any sort of inconvenience for you! Your comfort is as important as mine.
Thank you so much for your donations so far,
I wish you a beautiful week!

Thank you Jan, I don't mind either way, honestly it's such a new feature that I don't yet know which works better for me! Do whatever suits you best and I'll be happy :) Have a good day with the kitty.

In other words, what do you prefer? I'll choose the option you like best. Oh, can you do yearly without the discount? I would consider it counterproductive if you would lose money.

2020-10-10 02:42:08 +0000 UTCJust got an email from Patreon recommending me to make the 16% off a 2 months offer to create an "urgency" for you to get the annual membership. Nah. Take your time, folks. There's enough urgency around already.
