Having multiple page reward on Patreon

[ryoko]

For those who have Patreon pages; how do you go about posting a multi-page comic on your Patreon? I've posted several pages before, but through Patreon the only way to do it is individual posts and the last page is the first displayed which kind of messes up the storyline. I'm still fairly new at using Patreon and was wondering what other people do when it comes to multiple page rewards. One of my upcoming reward comics is going to be around 15 pages long and I want the reading experience to be a good one for those who are kind enough to support me. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if it's the easiest way, but I just paste all of my pages on a single, tall canvas. Then I save it as png or jpeg. Not the most enjoyable duty ever (especially when you're dealing with a slow machine), but does the trick and Patreon shows it just fine.

it could be worth saving the comic as a pdf, and uploading that as a download.

I release each page separately as it's coming out but then when the chapter is finished I release pdfs.

I could try that. I still will probably have to split it into a couple of parts, I think, otherwise I may crash my laptop with a file that large ^_^'

I didn't think of that! Maybe I could do this as well as post it so that readers can have a couple of ways to read it.

A second recommendation for a pdf. I think this may be the way to go.

Thank you all for your help so far!

You can choose "text" as the type of post and then add multiple images to the same post in the correct order.

As for early access, what I do is that I upload the pages one at a time and provide a link to a hidden imgur album which I update to contain all early access pages in the correct order. I delete the imgur album and replace it pretty much every new payment cycle to prevent people from refusing payment and just using the album, or the album having a large underground spread to people who aren't patrons at all.

Patreon recently released In-line Images by using the description of your post. You could use that to release many page at once if you need to, although I don't know what the limit is, if there is one.

O.O This sounds exactly what I'm looking for!! Thank you!! The Imgur method sounds like a good one, too.

I'll take a look at posting this way as well, to see which method will work the best for what I want to do.
