Hey y'all! Just to let you know, I've opened up the Patreon store!
It's going to be the exact same as the store on my website, but I'm debating whether to eventually remove it from the site / close the site down or not. As of uploading this post, not all products are on there right now and I will eventually transfer them over time, and I need your help on me deciding whether to keep both platforms open or taking my website down.
The major downsides about having my website site up is:
- My blog and newsletter is obsolete now (I'm not much of a writer and I don't really like doing that)
- It costs £220+/year to run, and my Patreon runs free (I also don't have a job / any source of income at the moment, and I have £30 to my name right now. Ouch.)
- The store checkout form has a personal information form which I cannot edit / remove. I understand privacy, and having to put your mailing address and etc for a digital product is insane, although you can just place fake details. I've already had people submitting hateful messages as the name and address too.
- I've had emails contacting me about selling my domain for sales n stuff like that and it's getting on my nerves. I've ignored all of them but there's this one guy that keeps on pestering me after half a year.
The upsides about my website:
+ Professionalism / a place for people to contact and get to know me in one platform.
+ A place to host my portfolio and build my brand.
+ A website to host my products and stuff.
I'm really having a hard time trying to decide this and it'd mean a lot to me if you'd be able to respond. Mega thanks to all.
