Probably due to browsing American websites and weblogs, I came across Patreon, a website dedicated to supporting creative people.
And as a blogger for many years and now also valued by some fellow citizens, I simply count myself among the creative people; at least you can't deny that I occasionally come up with — let's put it this way — extremely creative ideas.
And since I'm known to like to experiment and am open to new ideas, I'll just give patronage a try. My coffee donation campaign, so that I could think about new projects together with another Heilbronn blogger after a forced break due to COVID-19, got off to a good start, but ultimately got stuck in the sprint phase. It is to be feared that there will never be a final sprint. Which certainly won't stop us both (@t73fde | @301062K51219) from sipping a coffee together again soon.
So now I'm curious to see how the patronage will develop. As I understand this Patreon site, I can lure my future supporters with several offers. For one thing, I'll probably write exclusive weblog posts for my patron once or twice a month (if I follow a recommendation). And on the other hand, I'm considering giving my patrons one of my books as a small gift - in the hope that this won't be a bit of a deterrent.
And as the German football emperor said Franz Beckenbauer so often and gladly: "Let's see."
Addendum 20.8.2023
For a while now I have refrained from working with tools like Patreon. Not because they don't work, but solely because the extra effort isn't worth it for me.
Great day
Focus of today was the birthday party of my better half. Although the grill broke down, I was able to come up with a spare grill so that the celebration went uninterrupted. And since the weather cooperated, it was a wonderful day with even more wonderful guests. Then it was time for the obligatory dance class.
