In the same room, at the same time

As of this post, I have fourteen backers on Patreon to the total of $119 a month. This is astonishing to me. Everyone who pledged, signal-boosted, mentioned it in passing on social media, thank you!

Watch this space.

I just wrote 2200 words and can't figure out how to return the favor, but a smile goes here!

Eee, well done!

This is wholly unfamiliar territory to me. I am hoping it works out. I think I wrote a decent review, though. There can always be more.

Excellent!

Thank you! I wrote 2200 words and now I am going to sleep!

It's really amazing to me. I hope it pays off for the backers!

I am just sayin', but you might have put a link to the Patreon in here.

Also, you might want to put a link in every film review you post. Keep laying the thing before the readers. Nudge early, nudge often. Like that.

There is a link in the latest (first) review. Is it broken?

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Not broken, now. I just didn't see it. You might want to be less subtle, perhaps? It's not clear that "Supported by Patreon" is a link to your personal Patreon page; you might just be promoting the service. I'd go with a more direct "You can support Sovay's film reviews here, at Patreon" or some such...

I can try to be more emphatic with the next one. I've never had any kind of sponsorship before.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Aye. I think the thing to bear in mind is that it's not Patreon that's sponsoring you; that's simply the vehicle, by which your readers become your sponsors. Of course everyone knows this, but nevertheless.

At one point the review included the line "and viewers like you," but I decided I'd been awake too long and took it out.
