I'm considering some Reward Tier adjustments and I want to hear from you!

I'm making this post public because I want to hear from both existing Patrons and folks who might be considering a pledge.

After a year of creating with the support of Patrons I'd like to adjust the first few Reward Tiers. I want to do more for more people who are supporting me. When I set up the levels a year ago I had no idea I'd be making this many comic guides, redesigning, posting so regularly, starting a brand new video show, et cetera.

These are my current thoughts. I'd love your feedback! You don't have to comment - just vote in the poll. However, comments would be helpful.

$1 - Crushing Cadet

I would add access to the long-term exclusive Patrons' Choice guides to this tier so that supporters get a little more in return for their pledge, and I would make them a more regular addition.

Last year I had no idea they'd be a thing, didn't have a DC section, and thought I'd only be doing a single guide each month! Clearly that's not the case.

$1.99 - Pledgeonaut

I would move the exclusive early access to new guides down to this level from the Crushing Comics Club.

When I set up the pledge levels, I thought that would be something that would only happen about 12 times a year, and would be exclusive to a pretty small club of people. Now that I've seen the volume of guides I am capable of producing and that they tend to be available for 1-4wks of early access each, I want more people to be able to enjoy that! 

$3.99 - Crushing Comics Club

I want to add something new and awesome here because this level is honestly the sweet spot in pledges where a relatively small crowd of people can keep CK running smoothly month after month.

My current thought is to associate these rewards with video content. The one obvious addition is to add a Thanks slide to the end of Crushing Comics videos with shout-outs to these Patrons. 

I have some other thoughts related to video content, but I'd only want to add them if people have a specific interest:

• Uploading early-access, unedited versions of videos
• Adding a regular (monthly?) live video stream that would also be archived and available specifically to people at this level and higher
• Once a year, getting to pick a specific book from my collection for me to review/discuss in video.

However, I'm very open to hearing your thoughts on this - including from folks at this level and folks considering pledging at this level. Your suggestions do not have to be limited to video-related rewards.

Star, Hero, and Superhero Levels

These levels are currently well-balanced, since they correspond to specific page sponsorship on CK. 

The only change to these levels would be adding additional "Thanks" slides to the end of Crushing Comics videos.
