Patreon Update - August 27th 2023
Added 2023-08-27 11:11:22 +0000 UTCGooooooooood morning beautiful people,
Welcome to your weekly Patreon update! It's been another incredible week and I've got plenty to update you all on.
A huge welcome to all the new Patreons again this week. Your love and support truly means the world to me and I'll explain a little more as to why below...
Firstly, hope you've enjoyed the videos this week. Thoroughly looking forward to bringing you Looking: The Movie, A Patreon Exclusive and the final episode of Heartstopper Season 2 😭
So, we've got to start looking at what we're going to be reacting to next. We have PLENTY of HS and RWRB extra content to keep us going for a while on the Patreon Exclusives but we need to decide what our next reaction show is going to be. I will put up a separate poll for the patreon community to decide the next steps!
In other news... the full time job didn't work out. The requirements of the role were far more than I've ever experienced in the corporate world and wouldn't have left me nearly enough time to focus on creating. I realised very quickly it wasn't going to work out.
So what now? I have actually scaled back my freelance work too because YouTube and Patreon are really starting to grow at a good pace and I want to spend a couple of months focusing on it to see where we can grow it to and to do that I need to fully commit to it. It requires a lot of work in creating content for here to then turn into regular YouTube uploads and then convert into TikToks and YouTube shorts... it's a huge operation to try and use the YouTube algorithm to your advantage but I am going to give it my best shot.
So that's the direction we're going in. Full time content creation used to be the dream and it's now the reality because of all of YOU!
Have a wonderful sunday everyone - I am off to cry over the fact that Lewis Hamilton is starting 13th on the grid for this afternoon's F1 race 😭
Love, always ♥️

2023-08-27 20:32:53 +0000 UTCI've got to be honest that the discord has fallen to the bottom of my priority list right now but it's still on the list... if we continue to grow at this rate I have a couple of options on how to offload some of the workflow to free up some of my time for things like discord but right now I am focusing on pumping out content for you guys ❤️

Congrats on your thriving YouTube and Patreon Channels. Have you reacted to the Netflix Series “Smiley”? It’s fun. Enjoy your race.

2023-08-27 14:45:59 +0000 UTCI'm active on Discord and have some fun ideas that have worked on other servers to try and increase engagement there. :)

2023-08-27 13:35:55 +0000 UTCI’d love to see Discord be more active too, but I completely understand if that feels like “one more thing” to manage on top of everything else!

2023-08-27 13:12:06 +0000 UTCI'm happy with whatever makes you happy and this new job sounds like it didn't so you just closed that door and are opening another one. You need to do what makes you happy and by you doing that it also makes us happy 😊 Looking forward to the Looking film and will watch the ep7 reaction later.
