I only have three patrons at the moment, but even that has been a true blessing. Like, every penny makes a difference when you're financially challenged. And not just that, but having company also means a ton to me since working solo is so lonely otherwise.
I once used to think that online friendship is doomed to always be shallow or even fake, but running my Patreon has taught me otherwise. The friendships I have forged with my patrons mean way more to me than the income, although I desperately need income to make do.
The big struggle to me is promoting my page. Like, I post there a ton, but I always feel so bad about linking to the posts. The patron-only posts are hard to link to because it's zero value to anybody who doesn't want to be my patron. And the public posts, well, I guess it just feels bad because it kind of boils down to me going like, wink wink nudge nudge, I need money. Well, I really do need it, but...
Anyway, I made my latest progress report publicly available in case somebody is curious about how they look. Usually these are patron-only, but have it anyway:
My recent mini review of the Yuru Camp anime movie is also available to non-patrons. Link under the fold:
