I’m thinking about shutting down my Subscribe Star, which has 0 stars subscribing to it. It’s a lot of work to keep up a subscription platform for nothing.
I’m also thinking of doing the same for Patreon because of the ko-fi platform. You see, when someone donates to ko-fi as of yesterday they *should* be able to download a PDF of the working chapter so far. Page 1 posts on Sunday, but the pages as I have them so far can be downloaded after a donation amount of your choice. (The minimum is $3 – Ko-fi’s requirements.)
I really like that with ko-fi it’s when folks feel like giving, as opposed to every month on the dot. I do appreciate the every month thing. I just also appreciate making sure folks aren’t forced into it.
With Patreon I can do sections so that folks get other perks, though, and that’s a big deal. So for now when it comes to Patreon I’m only considering things, trying to decide what gives the readers the most bang for their buck.
