With the most likely imminent loss of my day job, I'm thinking of changing my patreon back to my writing.
Would it be too confusing if I had people able to subscribe either by my website, Patreon, or Ream? (Either same benefits each place OR same benefits with bonus short stories on my website.)
I've got a serial idea in the works and I hope to dive into it no later than June.
Decidedly NOT confusing, however I would specify or provide a REASON for the things to be available. "To appeal to a wider base" is a given, but doesn't really seem to be enough to generate interest.
If it's just simpler to have only one, then having more than one can create more questions that it offers solutions in the eyes of your potentials. But if having the alternative solves some sort of issue or scenario, EVERYONE can get on board and tend to support it.
Reader here; as someone with a very limited budget who needs to pick and choose who and where and how to support creators, the suggestion of "same benefits everywhere (for the same $$), with a bit extra offered at the place YOU get the most back" makes the most sense and feels the most fair..
It allows people to make the choice to support you either on the platform they already have or where it does you the most good, being assured they aren't missing out elsewhere.
