Hey, I finally made a Patreon. Link for it is in my channel info and below
patreon.com/TDWonderer
My journey on YouTube has been bizarre to me, I've had a lot of ups and downs and especially as I am coming up on the end of my 2nd year on YouTube, I look back at my upload schedule and I am disappointed with myself. It has been far less than the standards I try to hold myself to and due to personal stuff in my real life, it has been difficult to say the least.
I've said in the past within comments that a Patreon was never something I really wanted to do because I never felt like I had enough to offer to people who would support me in that way and just felt iffy about asking money from people when I am no position of desperately needing this money.
But as I have been trying to get back into the swing of YouTube and getting a consistent upload schedule I have been spending many hours writing, editing and recording. My intention is not to be a sob story, everyone goes through shit and I am sure that there are many of you who are much less fortunate than me and I know a majority of my audience is very young or potentially doesn't have the means to support me and if that's the case... don't.
I would much rather all of you be safe and have the means to support yourself over me and this decision to start a Patreon is one that came with lots of mulling over on my part and more so for the people who tell me they really want to have a way to support me, so here it is!
In case you are interested in supporting me on Patreon I will quickly explain in more detail what you benefits and tiers there are so you can decide which best suits you. Currently I have a $1, $5 and $10 a month tiers, the $1 only comes with being credited in videos on YouTube because I wanted to make the others options feel more worth it and this tier mostly exists for people who want to support but don't have much to give because I'm not trying to Mr Krabs anyone who wants to support.
$5 comes with crediting on YouTube like the $1 tier but also sneak peaks to upcoming videos with the thumbnail and announcement, the ability to offer ideas for upcoming videos (including What ifs) to be potentially voted on. I do wanna say that the video ideas will usually be locked to a certain season I feel like doing next (ex. World Tour, only accepting World Tour suggestions in that post). And then the ability to vote on those new video polls.
$10 comes with same stuff for $5 but instead of just a thumbnail to upcoming videos they will get access to a short teaser trailer with some lines to give a clearer idea of what will happen in the video. They get to vote on more exclusive polls than just the video ideas like thumbnails if I'm struggling to decide between some versions, channel decisions if I have to try and prioritize a specific video coming out first or just want to try a new thing for the channel and interaction in videos: comment your opinion on a future video topic and get to be featured in the video (ex. ranking seasons video, you can leave a comment saying your opinion and I will discuss it in the video along with my opinion)
I am planning on trying to add more benefits to patreon members as this goes along but for now this is what I got, I'd love to see you over there and interact with you all! I feel as I've gotten bigger I haven't had as much time to look over and respond to every comment I get but I will try my best to do so on there because it should be easier with a smaller pool of people.
(Currently there is an 14 minute uncut exclusive question discussion with Cove for $10 members, a poll for the thumbnail on the next video for $10 members and a suggestion post on my next what if after this one comes out for $5 and $10 members.)
