Moving Forward: The future of my content delivery!

Added 2023-03-21 16:01:06 +0000 UTC

Hello my beloved friends, I hope you've enjoyed my recent content! I do apologise that it could not be as frequent as it would like it to be; Personally, I have loved every minute posting for you on Patreon since March-April 2022. Those you of that are reading this now, thank you, it means the world to me. It's for this reason that I want to talk to you now.

What I desire most above all with this project, is to deliver holistically premium content to you at an affordable rate. I personally feel that $5-10USD for about 3-5 comics/45-90 images is a great transaction, that foremost benefits the interested buyer, while also satisfying my own interests in the process. However, as you might be aware my delivery of this self-binding contract is sometimes less than ideal, and I completely understand any scepticism towards me when my delivery is late. But, I also appreciate those who have understood my process and have patience with me, and for that my gratitude is eternal and knows no bounds.

However, I want to do right by you, first and foremost. For this, what I propose to do is develop a better content delivery system; something that both fulfils my original contract to you, while also allowing me to be more flexible and quality-minded when going through my creative process.

The problem at the moment with the Patreon monetization system is that you pay a minimum of $5-50USD per month for everything I make, regardless of the amount of content I actually deliver within the month. As you may be aware, when I feel this transaction is inadequate, I will pause the billing to ensure I meet my proposed contract to you.

What I think will be best for both of us is to instead focus on just delivering a quality product at an affordable price - Which is irrelevant of any of time spent. This will allow you to confidently buy my product and at the same time, I can confidently sell it to you, knowing I had enough time to reach my creative goals. This realistically can't be done within the time-limits of the Patreon subscription model. Sometimes, I want to spend more than 1 month producing content, simply because it's the difference between something being acceptable and 100% fire, and I just want to make fire, all the time.

Moving forward, I'm going to de-activate this Patreon and exclusively sell packs of comics on Gumroad and individual comics on Deviantart at the rate I've just discussed. This way I can spend time developing content at the rate I believe to be fair and you don't have to have worry if your dollar is worth the time spent, due to your subscription. It also gives you the option to not buy at all, if the content doesn't interest you. Honest pay for honest work. A fair transaction, through and through.

The packs will be same as the monthly sub pay right now. $5-10USD for 3-5 comics /45-90 images with an option to also buy the watermark-free versions if you so choose. Gumroad takes a smaller cut than Patreon and so, it will be cheaper to you than it is now.

This Patreon will be active to all active subscribers at no cost between 03/29/23 and - 04/29/03. So if you're reading this now, you have a month to save any content, but failing that please feel free to email me at charliecfnm@gmail.com and after I've verified your support, I'll sent you any links from this previous content that you desire.
