What Do Y'all Want to See More Of?
So I am baffled. Across my social media platforms, each one's followers seem to like different content. My YouTube channel loves the Moto Maidens. That series gets quadruple the views of any other content on my YT channel. My Facebook page seems to enjoy my personal day-to-day lifestyle. TikTok just wants to talk about our former TV show.
Now don't get me wrong, I like to talk, so I will ramble on about anything, so it won't hurt my feelings if some of y'all prefer one topic over the other. Everyone, of course, is allowed to have their own opinions and desires. But unfortunately, Patreon doesn't have "algorithms" that let me track which topic is most watched. So I have to rely on y'all to tell me what's most popular.
But after looking at other Patreon creators' platforms, I see that many of them offer only audio podcasts or photos/posts. On mine, I feel like I offer a pretty good variety of content, yet...I'm losing members.
So here's how my Patreon platform works. In the FREE section, I post much of the same content I share on my public Facebook page and on the main section of my YouTube channel. I distribute all the exclusive content across the Barking, Lucky, Rescue, and Underdogs tiers here on Patreon. Plus, when you're a paid member here on Patreon, you get DIRECT messaging with me!
So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but your input would be appreciated in helping me improve what I post. Let me know what you would like to see me start posting, or which topic you're enjoying the most. Hopefully this will help with gaining more members in the exclusive tiers!

Hi Tia, So glad you asked about this as I have actually been thinking about it as I have to admit, I have dropped off my viewing of things you post. I think I have an answer for you, All of us love dogs and most have dogs of our own. I know you have said that you do not have time for this, but I believe if you did it in a very planned manner, with out letting people asking you to help them each individually. I believe that doing a weekly dog training session, with you and one of the dogs that are adoptable and doing a live demo on how to go about training a dog on a variety of topics (A different topic each week). How to stop a dog from jumping up, How to stop a dog from pulling on a leash, how to greet another dog..... I would be just waiting to watch each one. With simple instruction and explaining why a dog may do the behavior, It would have to be you though doing the demo's. I am betting you would have people signing up like never before. Thanks, Amy Hunting (adopter of Frango aka Marbles from Kuwait)
Hi Tia, I am so glad you asked this question. I love the Dog topics. And in particular, if you could do training demos on popular things , I am guessing you would have more memberships than you ever had . You could use a different dog from the rescue each time and demo how to train on things like, not pulling on walks, not jumping up on people, greeting other dogs,,,,,,,,I know you have not wanted to do this in the past, but people crave this and everyone can learn something. Keep it simple, just why a dog might behave this way, steps to correct and a demo, Then a reminder that if they need more help to search out a reputable trainer for help....and it has to be you doing the demo,,,, Also, I also love Dog Diaries and had sent in our story to be on Dog Diaries,,would still love to do Thanks Tia Amy Hunting
My favorites are Life With the Underdogs & Pit Bulls & Parolees & Me, but I actually enjoy almost everything. I find your personal stories interesting. You and I are very different. If my favorites are moved to a higher tier, I’ll unfortunately have to cancel my subscription.
I didn’t vote because I like it all! I think you may be losing members because everything is so expensive, like groceries and gas, and people just don’t have a lot left over.
Dog rescue and adoption
Dog content, Just Tia, Tia Talk, Moto Maidens, and 25 to Wife are my favorites. I appreciate the variety of options and all of the hard work you put into your platform. I like Patreon the best as it is much easier to navigate. Keep up the good work! I am not sure why members are leaving, but it may be that the economy is tough and people are having to cut back on the extra expenses. Wishing you and your team the best! Thank you! 😊
Dirt road rescues
Love all your content! Dogs started it and continue to be the common thread holding it all together but I enjoy,learn and am touched by it all!
love it all!
I like it all but the stories from your writing is great and also whats happening currently in your life. I also love the reviews from the tv show. I guess i like them all!!
I like and watch all of it. The only one I skip is To the Rescue.
Since there was only one option I could choose, I am writing the rest here in the comment section. I like Dog Content, Literary Content (love it!), Piy Bulls &Parolees topic. And of course Tia`s Day-to-day Life Content. Tia rock :-)
Dog rescue reruns. Miss the tv show on Animal Planet
Tia Talks are always my favorite!
***APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO!🪷🪷🪷
PRETTY MUCH AGREE WITH JANIS🦊🦭🍂ALSO, LOVE WHEN YOU SHARE PICS OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL, COZY SURROUNDINGS🐾🐊🐿🦝🫶💞
I love all the topics you talk about, whether it's dog related, or your personal stories. It's hard to pick just a few. Some of my favs are Dog Diaries, Moto Maidens, Tia Talk, Just Tia, and TT Unmuzzled for sure, you gotta vent girl! I know it's for the dogs & cats but, many thanks to you for all the hard work that goes into sharing it all with us. I hope donations pick up soon!
I love listening to the dirt. 😁. I signed up when you were getting Tony out of prison and put exclusive content, about that, only on here. I love your non p.c. rants and I would love, love book content. Really, anything that's not available for free on the other platforms.
I hi Tia I love all content on my Rescue dog subscription. They are all so varied and interesting I would miss them is you stopped them. The only problem is I usually miss the live streaming as I live in the Uk and I’m falling asleep. Keep up the good work Catherine
Hi I watch on Patreon occasionally YouTube but never Facebook etc.. * I can enjoy some of the podcast I personally enjoy the content when there are visuals. -- I think you post a lot of content overall I think there's been a little less of the ones with videos which are my preference to podcast though I like those also or audio only. -- for content I enjoy adoption stories stories about rescues and ongoing animal care dogs and cats -- ** when you had some shows highlighting employees or they presented content that enjoyed. -- I did enjoy the prison content but it wasn't the first thing I looked for. --finally I might suggest looking up who is most successful on Patreon and seeing what they are doing I don't think podcast only would be the most helpful for your channel because people like to hear about and see the animals and rescues. -- also recaps about how things are going in your life most of us appreciate when it's something you want to share good and challenges. ** finally only because you asked for input not for me personally or all of us but I think there are people who really appreciate very much or like merchandise etc. and maybe at a certain tier that every quarter or four times a year if someone was at the highest here that there could be a calendar a T-shirt water bottle with logo just something I think people subscribing at the highest level that might be something to look at. Take care of all the best.
I'd love longer episodes with day to day with the dogs. Life with the underdogs.. Love love all your stories and personal stuff. If I'm honest I like everything really and I can't pick but those are my absolute favorites.
My favorites Is the back stores on PBP&me, Tia Talk, Unmuzzled, Just Tia about your life. Love anything on dogs as well. My wish is maybe more info on your family on how they are doing. I watch all the reruns and I miss see them rescuing dogs. Just a follow up on how Tanai is doing? Love ya girl. I will watch anything you do.
I think losing people on Patreon is probably more related to the economy. I hear people at work talking about all the things they are cutting to save money.
Wish your new episodes were still on animal planet
The only content I don’t have interest in is how to open a rescue because it’s not something I’ll be doing. However it is valuable information for those that are considering so I don’t feel it shouldn’t happen. I love when you go live on Patreon and quite frankly, I’ve felt for a long time that you should consider only going live on Patreon and behind the paywall. Even consider making it for certain pay levels only. Maybe you are giving too much away. I thought about dropping Underdog at one point because it’s started to feel as though there isn’t much setting it apart from other levels. I didn’t drop it because I made a commitment and it’s also my way of giving back for all that you do.
I can't simply choose one. I love all the content! I mainly watch on Patreon.
Tia I love all of your videos But maybe it’s just me I would love to me more about the dogs you are adopting out And to hear there stories And how there doing in the kennels and there new home We need more positivity in our life’s lol
I like all of your topics! I listen often late at night when pups are asleep. When I receive topics in my email I may have to wait a bit to watch it but I do watch it. Have enjoyed and learned alot from all topics! Thankyou!
I love everything!! Anything VILLALOBOS
I chose Misc Content but I will tell you why. If it had been multiple choice I would've checked everything but the book writings. I personally like all of the content you put out and other than the fact that I'm not on Facebook or other social media Patreon lets me see it all and that is also why recently I increased my tier when I could. Even when there is content that is visual that I may miss out on some stuff because of being mostly blind, I still enjoy what I'm able to get out of it. Honestly, I spent much of my growing up (aka formative) years in a not so great neighborhood and saw/heard a lot (not sure why my mom didn't like me offhand mentioning the hooker by the pay phone when I'd get off the school bus that was always sweet to me and always said hi...granted not until right before we moved did I really start to understand why she was "starting her workday" when I was coming home from school). But while I was around all of that i never gave a lot of thought to the prison stuff you mention. To me, prison was where the folks that do the really bad stuff were and should stay and I didn't think about much else. That's just one example. I think you have helped many folks realize that many of us are more alike than we think we are. Enough rambling. :-)
I enjoy the variety in the different topics on your list! I especially like your Pit Bulls, Parolees and Me episodes. And would love to see you bring back "Dog Diaries" so we can see adopted dogs in their current homes. As a cat lover/Switty lover, I would love to see more about all of the cats in your care (I sponsor two cats). Thank you!
I enjoy everything you post on patreon and love that it is a mix of content!
All of the above! Can't pick just one. I especially like the quick videos that are easy to watch as they come through. When I have time, I do watch the longer videos, but don't often have a lot of time. The live events are interesting regardless of topic or reason. I'm interested in all, really, and thankful for the time you carve out to share.
I am trying to select more than one topic , which it won’t allow . So my choices are, moto maidens, dog life, everyday life, I enjoyed the boys doing the tour thing, misc content.
I enjoy everything
I love dog stuff, including your day to day if it involves dogs! ❤️🐾
Could more live streams help the bottom line?
I love it all, I will happily watch anything you put out. When you do the Pitbulls, Parolees and me it would be good to know what happen to the dogs you show, I know many will now have died, but I would like to know if they got homes
I love it all!
I chose miscellaneous only because I enjoy all your content and can’t pick one over the other. Your Patreon stands out above all others because of the variety and frequency with which you post. I vote for keeping the variety and thank you for going above and beyond!!
I’m commenting quickly because I’m running late and wanted still to add something to the conversation (I just scanned the post but had an immediate thought when I saw the topic). I love EVERYTHING and thank you for every post! One of the things that is life affirming (quite seriously) for me right now is when you post a minute or two of your day to day or a quip. When I am not in a space or time frame to watch or listen to long form content (which I would most definitely watch 24/7 if I could), it gives me a moment to feel connected and it brightens my day. When I am able to listen more to long form which hopefully will be tomorrow (I can hope), my favorites are the livestreams, I am way behind on watching the pit bulls and parolees which brought me to you, pit bulls being my spirit animal ❤️🐶, and Tia unmuzzled is needed for my mental health (again quite seriously) because sometimes when you can snort laugh in the midst of a really bad time, you know angels are in your midst. Also- your writing. Which takes me to a place where I myself am inspired to think of a way to use words, which are often insufficient to convey imagery, to invoke meanings across hearts and souls. And I know, I know, but CCSI! One day! Have a great day, Tia!
I love all of the stuff. Love pit bulls parolees and me , 25 to wife -the chat , Tia talk all of it lol Miss Tia Torres unmuzzled. Do love moto maidens also
Love all your topics. Your morning Tia talks got me hooked on your voice. All the little lifestyle episodes from your or your staff and kids are truly enjoyable. The realness is very much appreciated. Take care ❤️
Well Tia, I have just started Patreon, so I'm a newby. Your writings and content is fabulous to me, and I enjoy all subjects. Keep doing what you are doing! You are the BEST! 🦋
Pick one. I love it all! I think we should at least get 3 picks.
I love it all. But I really enjoy dog content, so more about rescues, feature dogs that have been with you a long time, and adoptions. I also love seeing the lives of all the employees and their stories. However, I could never pick just one show!! I watch all of it. And, I only watch here, for the most part. Love the podcasts too. Don't make me choose!! 🤣💜
Just Tia is my favorite. Love hearing about dogs avail too.
Rescues and adoptions are the most interesting for me!!
Just Tia. Is my favorite
More dogs, less about you.
Life with the Underdogs
Dog videos top my list. Happy dogs, sad dogs, dogs in jammies, dogs w/zoomies, etc. That's my happy place. : )
Sorry we only get to choose 1. The category I watch least is prison content but I still enjoy it. I've had a rough few years & you folks have really helped.
Poll requires picking one answer! Yeah - RIGHT! True Poll Response - ALL
I watch and listen to most of the content, but I love the dogs the most. And your life and how running the rescue impacts it. I would also include you talking about rescue news (the terror on skid row) as dog content I’m interested in.
Hi Tia I like all Ur stuff and I loved watching pitbulls and parolees
I personally enjoy all of it. I really appreciate the lives on here vs the other platforms - less repetitive questions and no spammers. I watch everything here - I know I’m not missing anything! The dog related content is why I signed up - but I understand how time consuming it is to produce PBP&M, Life w/the Underdogs, Dog Diaries & MM - which are my favs (along with behind the scenes & personal stories). I appreciate and enjoy all of the additional content and love the variety. Getting to “know” you outside of the rescue has been an added bonus that I think most of us enjoy.
I forgot to mention I love when you read your novel :)
Dog rescues and adoptions. More like content that was on the TV show.
Pit Bulls Parolees and Me To the Rescue Just Tia and you did an episode where you highlighted a shelter that was in the middle of nowhere and in dire need of support
I love Life With The Underdogs and, especially, Dog Diaries. I would love to see more of those. I am especially excited when I see what has happened to the dogs featured on your show, like Vladimir and Felony. I was thrilled for their happy endings.
I would love more of a focus on your shows like Pitbull and parolees dog diaries life with the underdog and your associated daily life in and around your volunteers working with the dogs that's why I originally signed up but since that content mostly went away well let's just say if more of that content returns dog related not the fluff I would certainly consider going back to your lucky dog kind of tear
I love it all. I really enjoy your lives and always look forward to those.
Pick one my ass. Dogs, day to day, moto maidens.
I like a little bit of everything. I’d love to see dog diaries with updates of adopted pets. I’d like to know how your writing is going- topics, how much you’re getting done. I know that’s really what you want to do full time. I know nothing about AI editing. I’d like to hear how you set it up and is it something you have to pay for. It’s always entertaining to hear about hires that make you crazy ( even though I wish all hires worked out well). Sharing your personal life- I’m not into prying. If you want to share some, great. If not, I don’t push anyone. Moto Maidens is great. Life of the underdogs is great too.
Poop scoop
I wish we could pick more than one. 😪 The only one I haven't delved into is Moto Maidens. I don't watch the other content when it first drops, but I love being able to go back and catch up.
My favorites are the Just Tia autobiography, when you review episodes of the PB&P show and give behind the scenes info, stories of current dogs/adoptions, when you are candid about your present life, and Moto Maidens. Keep up the hard work!!
My personal favorite are the dogs 🐕 💜
As a sponsor and VA, although I enjoy all of the content, what I would enjoy seeing the most is content of the dogs, maybe updates on how they're doing My FAV is PBP& M. I joined Patreon when Rabid Reality shut down which is where all the content really originated so I don't go to the other platforms to search for content. I also like when you go live on Patreon, it's much calmer and you don't get the same questions that you've answered a bazillion times.😉 Thanks for caring Tia 😊and sorry to hear you're losing members here. 😢
It’s hard to choose because I like all the topics, but your day to day life is always interesting (sometimes funny & sometimes shocking) as well as your writing. It’s amazing how much you’ve done in your life !
I think it is all great! I love the rescue insights. I think you have a LOT of fans who do run rescues or would want to. Maybe the candid side of rescue. Plus you are much more than just dogs now. I personally would love to discuss your book! Feel free to call ;) jk But my book club would happy to be a preview read!
Hi Tia. There are 2 “shows” that you produce that I LOVE!!! Life with the underdogs AND Dog Diaries!!! Love seeing the rescues and all that you and your staff do AND I love seeing the follow up of all the happy tails ending with your rescues thriving in a their loving homes!!! PS- I enjoy all of your shows and podcasts but those 2 are my favorites!!!
I also very much enjoy the back stories on Pit Bulls and Paroles. Would like to know how Earl is doing.
Pick one. Yes right. 🤣🤣🤣🇳🇴Norway
Ja, det er umulig å bare velge en.
I love it all! I don't know yet, but I may upgrade my membership later next month.
