I can't believe what I discovered today!
I found a YouTube video about "Forever Foods" (things that last a LONG time in a pantry), and the maker had a Patreon page. So I went to check it out (Prepsteader). When I went to contact her, there was no place to connect for questions or comments! I went to the website (prepsteaders.com) eventually and found a Contact Us form, so I tried that. As I write this there seem to be problems connecting with her sites... hope it is just a glitch from here.
Now I am waiting to see what I hear back, if I do.
I was amazed that I couldn't just ask a question.
I was asking the page creator if she liked being a part of Patreon, and if she would check on my page and suggest anything. I shared that I make every tier a different project, and am trying to focus on exclusive benefits (available only to supporters), and that I want to find the right place to suggest the ONE-TIME donation button, separate from signing up. I hope to do this more often and get more feedback.
Note:: I was looking for her name (something like Christi Swartz) and discovered her YouTube channel states over a hundred thousand subscribers, since 2012. I probably won't hear back from her, her Patreon only has 18 supporters. (Found her name! Christa Swartz -- only one letter off! :-)
I do see this a lot. I think there is a flow that each person has to find. I would like Patreon to be my first space because of the tiers... as I move forward, I can build up and slow down as needed... the funding is month-to-month and that works great for the money issues. My individual project tiers will become a varied participation option. I am interested in many things, so that works best for me.
If only GOD would just bless my efforts. :-| He just doesn't seem to listen to me! :-)

This week's Patreon Update has a graphic that is pretty close to one I might use to advertise my quest. I am waiting until I decide what to promote. I have a very limited amount of funds. I may try to do a quarterly ad campaign, while I learn about this process and decide where to focus my money and time.
Let me see if I can post the graphic here...
It looks blurry here, so I hope it looks better after I post this. You can see it better at the page...
This one has a lot of the information to share with people as an advertisement. I may need to do a post boost if it doesn't work as the right ad size. I guess we will find out soon... I need to start getting that information.
Below are the new tier photos (graphics) I made for identifying the tier for the Challenge. The first one had too much information to read it right... so I remade it into the second version.
Note -- I am trying to post all of these at the Pinterest board for this Challenge.

Creating graphics for all the different spaces online is quite a challenge in itself. Canva has prepared sizes for some of the social media needs, and Twitter posts are what I do most of my graphics as, but the tier options are 460x200. This seems to be very different.
It was also my first effort, so I had no idea what would fit. I am planning to make more, especially for the recycling tier. Once I get some of my crafts made, I can use them as the graphics..
I am wondering if my page name is a big hindrance to my current quest... I chose the name because that is what this support is for... to help me build up my finances so I can do as many of the things I have been trying to do all my life as I can. Crafts, WT, Bucket List, etc.
When it is attached to my support Challenge, it sounds like just a retirement plea... which it is, kinda... but not with this Challenge.
What to do.
If you have any suggestions, let me know.

Guess that is enough for now. I am beginning to make lists of topics to share and notes about things to write about. Maybe my journal will help with that. I am beginning to write more details about my days and have begun to just write on pages as I need them for each day. I was trying to keep it to two pages per day, but that isn't working. CHANGE is always necessary! :-)
In Christ,
the Great Savior,
the Life,
and our hope for heaven.
