Tipping incentives?

[Pan]

It's going to contain content that is against Tapas's policy, so I'm providing a link to those that meet the quota and they can read it off site The original chapter will have a "fade to black" ending, and the extended will have the juicy bits.

It's just NSFW sexy stuff tbh XD

But it's already gotten me supporters even though the event hasn't started HA HA

[Pan]

20,000 is quite a bit, but I know your hardcore fans will be willing to dish it out! Your art is amazing and I really love it; though I can't personally afford that price, I imagine a few people can, and those that do tip will give you plenty of work!

If you lower the price I'm afraid you'll have your hands incredibly full, so maybe 20,000 is a good balance

[TheFalseVyper]

Thank you so much for your thoughts lol. 20 K does seem high, but I don't want to lower it so much and have like 100 people backlog me with drawings for a month xD

Also, am I right in that 20 K ink is roughly $20? At least when I go to the ink store, there's an option to buy about 22,000 ink for $19.99?

[Rhonder]

Yup! $1 is slightly over 1k ink, but that's more or less a fair way to price things. For my incentives, I went with 3k and 8k on the notion of them being roughly $3 and $8.

[TheFalseVyper]

Oh really? What are you offering for those amounts?

[Rhonder]

Sketchy bust commissions, black&white/colored.

[daeofthepast]

@TheFalseVyper @Rhonder if you multiply the ink amount times 0.0008 then you get the USD amount :3

so 20k would be $16 USD. minus tapas' fees on top of that. and more fees if the ink was bought instead of earned RIP

[TheFalseVyper]

Oh this is so helpful! Thank you!

My tipping/ink reward is a ‘pin-up’ illustration which I recycled from my previouse Patreon rewards. That way folks who don’t like Patreon have a chance to see those illustrations too and I can increase my income a little without putting in too much extra work
I ask for 1000 ink drops (which roughly equals the $1 tier on Patreon, for which the illustration were intended originally. Sadly I get a bit less out of it, but the donor, assuming they purchase the ink, pay a little over $1 because of fees. So I don’t want to jack up the price further)

The reward is received pretty well so far. I already got two tippers who claimed it and a fair amount of smaller tips, some of them from repeated tipper.
Compared to the last months it’s going pretty well.
I’m positive that at Inksgiving there will be more tippers who tip for the reward...I hope I’m not too optimistic tho

I've got two NSFW stories that are hosted off site for tippers who tip more than 1000 ink. I'm going to slowly build that library up so it's a regular feature as well.

During Inksgiving, I'm probably going to add further incentives as well, such as a Tipper's Writealong, where anyone who tips any amount gets a sneak peek at further chapters and can read along with me while I write.

Oooohhh I like that idea :ooo
My book's completed so maybe I can show edits...? Or a readalong of my other book. Or a sneak peek of my new book •̀.̫•́✧

[vfinnigan]

Here are the incentives I'm considering.

1-999 - gratitude and a shoutout. Any support from a fellow creator warrants some promotion from me.

1000 - 2,999 - The Real Women of the US Military: The WASP trading card, plus shoutout.

3,000 - 4,999 - The Real Women of the US Military: The WASP poster, signed, plus shoutout

5,000 and up - a print issue of Tiger on the Storm, signed, plus shoutout

What do you think?

[AmeliaFaulkner]

I have some very tasty swag I could mail to people... if Tapas enable Support for me. My emails are probably in their spam folders lol.

[spicy_sweets]

You emailed them multiple times??
Wait, swag as in merch? :o

[AmeliaFaulkner]

Wait, swag as in merch? :o

Yep!! Buttons, postcards, bookmarks, you name it.

[spicy_sweets]

Whoaaaa I never thought of making bookmarks
Do you make them on canva or have an artist commissioned?

[AmeliaFaulkner]

Do you make them on canva or have an artist commissioned?

I have an artist I commission whenever I want to make new merch

[AmeliaFaulkner]

Quick 'n' dirty photos. Please excuse the state of my desk

[bear1]

Omg, they are gorgeous!
I love the couple underneath the ‘poop’-crow
I hope they’ll approve you in time. I’m sure your readers would love to get their hands on any of those

[spicy_sweets]

You've inspired me to try making my own quote-based ones. •̀.̫•́✧
Do you sell those on redbubble?
