Someday I’ll make a better title for what’s really Part 2 to the previous post.
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY…?
Firstly, before I forget, I made a subscribestar! I made it as a backup plan, because…reasons. I think I’ve said it’s a backup plan, and to be honest, I have no idea if it’ll work out in the long run. I’m not the creator who works and posts constantly to justify people “subscribing” to them. I’m the “when it’s done by a deadline or done, it’s done and here it goes.” Which means that I need to stop thinking it’s the mid2000s where everyone still had an idea of how the human body works, and not 2024 where by now, you need to be an algorithmic art-making machine or else you’re not really “worth it.” Except I won’t lol. I already tried that hustle years ago, and I got a burnout so bad, I’m almost not sure if I still actually have the burnout and I’m just pretending I finally got over it. I mean, I know I did, but you know, when you’re constantly tired, you’re never sure…
I digress. I already have three subscribers in the free tier! Hooray! That said, despite the usual “now time to promote it to high-heaven,” I’ll…just not do that. I also already tried that in another life, and it got me nothing but crickets whenever I tried to include folks into the processes I’d post about, the way other artists get in their Patreons or Substars. So I’ll just do it worse lol. I posted stuff for all tiers, as a “taste” when they pledge. But I’ll just be concentrating on the free tier because 1) it’s the easiest and 2) it’s the one where I have folks waiting! If/once I get enough in the other tiers, then I’ll start being “proper.” Until then, I ain’t sacrificing my time and health. Pay me to do it >XD
