Ok, watchers, need feedback. I'd like to do a swaggerdile type of thing, with pledge amounts & rewards & such. However...
I worry doing it every month might be more than I can juggle, depending on workload. My thought was to offer an email based sign up. During the months I have wiggle room, I would offer open signups. There would be different pledge levels, & folks would get something depending on what level they chose. All items would be mailed or emailed out before the end of that month. Basically I'd do a 1 time pledge that would be paid at the beginning of the month, & would spend time that month finishing & sending out the pledge items. If next month it's busy con season, etc, I could skip sign ups for that month and wait until my other work was caught up.
Thoughts? Or more specifically, would anyone be interested in signing up for something like that? Pledge amounts would range from 5$ & up, and the goodies could be anything from digital coloring pages or wallpapers, to physical items like pendants, mini sketch books, badges...whatever I had the time to put on the list for that month. Pledges would know in advance what they will get, as the signups would list items with each pledge level.
If you would be interested, email me - Hopefulmonsterstudios(at)Gmail dot com, subject Monster Mailing List, and I will put you on the email list. Any month I decide to open for pledges, I will send a group email to all those who are on the list, detailing the pledge levels available for that month. Folks can sign up at whatever level they fancy, or skip that round. Payment would be via paypal, & would need to be paid within 24 hours of claiming a pledge level.
I am strongly considering having September be the first month of giving this a try, so if you are interested in getting on the mailing list, sign up asap! It will give me a better idea how many folks are interested & help me plan out items to offer.
