Patreon 1st Month End Update! Pic for attention!
Added 2024-11-26 23:01:33 +0000 UTCHey cuties!
I wanted to check in now that we're at the end of my first month on Patreon and I wanted to start off by saying very loudly: THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH!!! Literally cannot thank you all enough. You've all blown me away with your attention to my works. Just crazy! THANK YOU!
Goals - you've blown them all away. As we speak, I'm nearly at 500 on X, 200+ on insta, almost 100 on Bsky, and we're almost at 100 members here on Patreon! I cannot even wrap my head around that. Those goalposts I set were miles back. Incredible - y'all cute and wild as fuck. I am HERE for it.
Time - Just so you all know, full disclosure, I work a full time job and then spend 3-4 hours a night working on this (generating, sorting, touchups, etc). We're starting out small, and I'm working out ways to make things run smoother and cut time. I've done so already with finding a way to batch watermark (yes, fam, I was manually watermarking, RIP my life) and I think I've solved the upscaling issue for the set zips (feedback appreciated!). I hope to be able to find new ways to cut this down, but I may need to take a night off once in a while. I am promising a minimum of two a week, but I would like to be at least 4-5 if not daily.
Value - That leads to my final update. I underestimated the amount of time and energy that goes into a project like this, and for me to continue outputting at the tier I am, I may need to make some changes to my rate. I strongly undervalued my time, between set creation and social presence.
Current Subscribers will not see any price changes / increases. You will be 'grandfathered' into the new pay structure. New Patrons will face the new rates starting on Dec 1st.
π Tier 1 - Playmate Tier ($15) - Same as it's been - no change.
π Tier 2 - Commissioned Playmate ($50) - Same rules as before ($50)
I want to be very transparent about the how's and why's because as a businesswoman running a community solo, you as my patrons deserve to know where I am and where my business that you support is going.
I appreciate you all so much - thank you for the support thus far and I hope to be able to continue making naughty content for you for a long time to come!
XOXO Ashleigh

HEY UPDATE - We're just gonna keep things simple. Two tiers, normal and commission. If I ever branch into different offerings than what I'm doing, we'll renegotiate then. AGAIN - There will be NO change to any existing subscription. You get what you paid for as long as you remain subbed. If you cancel and return, you face the new rate. I have updated the main post to reflect that.

2024-11-27 00:17:16 +0000 UTCYou could try something like that.

2024-11-27 00:03:44 +0000 UTCUltimately the goal is to see if thatβs sustainable. I may split the difference tho and just two tier it and go with a $12-15 option and then a commission tier.

2024-11-27 00:00:32 +0000 UTCThe fair thing to do there is to basically put everyone on the tier 2 / $20 tier.

2024-11-26 23:33:06 +0000 UTCSo people on the $8 currently...what tier will they be grandfathered into? Just curious since you are going from one non commission tier to 2
