Tipping Rewards?

[SpaceWitch]

Has anyone thought of rewarding your readers for helping you reach a certain amount of tips per month or something similar? I was thinking of posting an extra page for every $10 in tips I reach.

I'm trying to send personal thank you cards to my tippers, but life keeps interfering 😄

Sounds like a good idea!

@KoreanTacos, I've found that reaching out to PM readers directly doesn't always work as many readers are only on mobile and have no idea of their profile wall or the notification system on the full website. So if you want to tell your tippers something, tell them at the end of your episode so there's a higher chance they'll see!

oh thank you, I actually didn't realize that was something that could happen. I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

I would love to set up tipping rewards but at this current time with my sporadic updates and small fan base I don't think it would fly

I'm trying to think of something to thank my tippers too, do you mean sending paper/actual card ? I like the idea to do a special gift to the top tipper.
I was thinking doing a gift to the top tipper and than thanks everyone by featuring them all in a special thank you episode each month.
I like the idea of sending a real gift, like a print of an illustration of Radiant but I wonder if people would really want it ...
Would you ?

I'm rewarding my tippers by featuring their names after every episode and by an art giveaway every month for them :3

My patreon has all of my cool bonus stuff so for tippers I ended up holding a monthly raffle. 50 coins gets someone an entry and the more entries I get the better the prize.

I'm sending funny chibi bonus comics to high tippers every month ^^

That was my original intent, personally signed cards, but that requires getting mailing information (which if it was me I don't like giving out that detail so why would someone else), plus most of my readers seem to be out of country for me. That's more of something for my patreon than a tipping thing. I guess if someone did want me to send a physical copy I would.

What about leaving a choice ? like " a signed print " or a page of the comic in a Pdf full quality or a thank you drawing as a jpg ? or something like that ? I understand that people might not want to share their address ... but I still want to make it special, and I don't have a patreon ...
