Family meeting time! Tier Updates!
🕑 Added 2023-07-30 13:39:42 +0000 UTCHey hey little monkeys! I've been doing some renovations around here, and have made some changes which I'm going to explain in a family meeting style here. I'm going to take you through the new tier reward updates, and also give you an honest look into why I've made some of those changes. After all, we're family around here and I know that we all like to be on the same page and in the loop.
The first change is to the $3 tier. This tier is now going to give you access to our family discussions and monthly polls about which content you want to see next.
The early access and extended audios have officially been adjusted to a $5 Tier Reward.
This is where I want to be totally honest with you guys and let you know why I'm making this adjustment, since the $3 tier is the most highly occupied tier.
Running the channel and keeping myself as intimately involved on Patreon as I am is a full time job. I'm currently working over 50 hours a week to keep content flowing, as well as putting in the extra editing time to essentially make TWO versions of every audio-- the YouTube and the Extended versions. And as my own "boss", I haven't given myself a pay raise for my work load...ever. I'm a giver by nature and just want all the "fun things" to be as easily accessible to everyone as possible. But the truth is it's gotten hard to maintain.
So, I've finally decided that I've got to raise the bar just a tiny bit, and acknowledge the value of the work I do put in, so that I can continue doing what I love here without having to work additional side hustles. I hope that you guys can understand my decision, and that you will continue to support the channel as I make the adjustments necessary to be able to keep being a creator.
The second change is to the $7 tier!
The $7 tier will now include MORE possibilities as to what the lucky monthly winner will win! Every month I draw a name out of the $7+ tiers and I message them to let them know they're getting a free custom audio! But now, the winner could be surprised with ANY of the upper tier rewards... including access to the next Group Script Writing, having their name mentioned in an upcoming audio, or a custom audio.
Thanks again everyone for bearing with me as I grow as a creator. Again, I know price changes are a touchy and sensitive thing, always. The prices I set 6 years ago were based on a much smaller channel, and much smaller work load. I'm doing 3X the work now and have never raised my prices, but it's just time. I hope you guys don't hate me for it, haha!
Cheers, mates. We have AMAZING THINGS coming in August. See you then.

Completely Understandable. I will reiterate what I said on YouTube and tell you to look out for yourself. Don't make me have to come find you and steal all that coffee from you Ben so you can get some proper rest. π
