Heya guys! 

Hope you've had a lovely Christmas time! Things have been nice and peaceful here and before I go on the usual end-of-month reward posts, I've been wanting feedback on an idea

So Every now and then I do highly suggestive pictures on the sfw blog and add alts to them on the nsfw. I've been seeing that other artists offer an early access type of deal (god I feel dirty saying that, I feel like E freaking A) where you get to see lewd alts of a picture after a certain period of time, or instantly if you're subscribed to a patreon. 

So I was thinking; maybe for the monthly lewd sets and any lewd alts of pictures go instantly up on patreon and then a week later go up for public post, but the tier to view the posts would only be 2 bucks. 

The problem is, like I said from the start, I dont want to paywall content. Even though this route will bring in some money, I don't want to lose trust of those who have helped make me as successful as I currently am. 

So I'm kinda at an impasse. 

Bills stack and rent needs to be paid, but I don't want to sour the pot. 

Let me know your thoughts, if this is something I should consider, or if you'd rather I just keep on keeping on. 

Cheers guys.

You should definitely consider it after all thats what your patrons are here for to pledge their support to you and it seems like you really need it right now

Well, if people are willing to turn on you for going "Ey 2 bucks, you can see this 14 days early. Winkwonk ;3" then they weren't very good supporters to begin with IMO. Trying to make money to eat and pay rent by your craft is in no way shameful or distasteful, my dude.

If you’re still going to release it anyways, I don’t see it as a paywall kinda situation. Wanting to make money is a normal goal when you’re making a product and it’s nothing to feel bad about. On your blog, maybe don’t mention on every post that it’s available early with pledges, but every now and again a little note would be good.

If you need the money it's not a complete wall it's more a window. If people aren't willing to then waiting a short amount of time is not so bad. I know I haven't upped pledges on other peoples patreons because I'm willing to wait and monthly budget. So there's my 2 cents
