Let's Discuss 2022 even more
Added 2021-07-07 18:27:31 +0000 UTCI have been reading and re-reading your comments over & over - I'm really trying to digest them, hear your ideas, and share them with my friends, so that I can digest them further with outside voices/thoughts.
Basically, I've been doing Patreon wrong
It's been too transactional, too much like another hypnosis store, and removing the content from the tiers each month is a common item of frustration & disappointment.
I really appreciate that honesty.
Thank you, xoxo
Let's discuss my current ideas for 2022...
These are just ideas that I'm weighing the pros and cons for..... I think you might enjoy my Patreon account more if...
- I provide preview access to content that I'm preparing for YouTube - I would like to upload full sessions of various length (full = induction, Hypnotic body, ending), training loops, fantasy sessions, etc. It might have a similar feel to the content you're enjoying right now, except it will be an entire session.
- All content REMAINS on the tier
- MP3 downloads of content
- Alternate versions - voice only - maybe longer versions or micro versions depending on the topic and format of the session. Maybe even a "Lab Rat" version, where I provide a subliminal of the background tracks. Remember, Subliminals can not be heard - the audio would sound like meditation music.
- Hypnosis content would be uploaded as I create it - there won't be a promised or set amount. It could be as few as 2 in a month, or as many as 12. It just depends on my overall schedule, if I'm on vacation, if I'm receiving a ton of help from my assistant, etc.
- A real, working suggestion box for hypnosis topics
- Poll on lower tiers to vote on the suggestions placed by higher tiers ((this helps ensure that the suggested content has a wide audience appeal))
- Behind the scenes posts ((comment below with ideas for the things would you like to read about or see?))
- More discussions and polls on a variety of topics
- Lower priced tiers - I'm considering $5, $10, $20
- Higher tiers for the super devoted slaves - $100, $200, $500 - might include exclusive one-time training session. Sponsorship for me to hand some work to my assistant and take the afternoon off
So let's discuss...
Comment below with your reaction... Thoughts... Additional suggestions, etc. I'm still waiting to hear back from my assistant, who has great ideas, so these are all just thoughts
Is this something that you would enjoy and feel excited about?

Oh, that stuff happens all the time, so yes, I could definitely talk about those types of things 😃
2021-07-07 23:04:15 +0000 UTCBehind the scenes wise, off the top of my head I'm thinking... - lines that didn't make it to the final version of something - off the cuff thoughts about possible files - funny times when the tongue doesn't cooperate or an external noise interrupts a recording (if that happens) - this is how I came up with the idea for X session
2021-07-07 23:02:31 +0000 UTCI agree. I just told my assistant that it does t really work well and the sound is not consiistant. Yes, that's the most stressful thing about Patreon... The way I currently have it set up, is extreme pressure to hurry and create something on time. Rather than just allowing my creative juices to flow. I think the new format is going to be GREAT Wish I could start this year, actually
2021-07-07 23:00:30 +0000 UTCI'm down with any/all of these suggestions. I liked the mantra series you posted to YouTube but the intro made it unsuitable for looping. Happy with the ebb and flow of content - sometimes life or the creative juices are fluctuating so maybe this will reduce some 'must meet those agreed targets' stress.
2021-07-07 22:57:29 +0000 UTCAww, thank you for that.
2021-07-07 19:02:57 +0000 UTCI think the simplified tiers and leaving content is a huge plus. You wouldn't need to post nearly as many files if you leave the ones that are already up. Also, I think it would be a HUGE incentive to have new people sign up if they see this huge back catalog of material they can access right off the bat. Once they are signed up they will be paying monthly tribute. Sure, there will be the odd jerk who signs up downloads what he wants and leaves, but I honestly think that would be a small minority and it's not likely they will get pirated out like videos do, so I believe you will gain many more followers than you will lose content to jerks.

2021-07-07 18:57:49 +0000 UTCSorry, but I don’t get that.

2021-07-07 18:34:50 +0000 UTCThank you for saying that - I really needed to hear it, especially having such hard discussions about how I'm totally missing the mark with Patreon. 😊
2021-07-07 18:33:35 +0000 UTCYes, to all of it!! Really, I don’t know how you do it - you are SO prolific and such consistently high quality!
