Question for Patrons
Hey all. I’m trying figure out ways to make being a patron more worthwhile and just wanted to see if any of you all have any thoughts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Post a picture of an animal for us to gues what it is & ask questions. Then do a video to answer our questions.
That's a hard ? What u do is already awesome
bloopers
Yes please 🙏
I literally do not need anything to make this 'worthwhile'. I did this to support your already amazing content and so that you could continue to make it.
I completely concur!
I can make some great stickers! Maybe you can do some stickers with subscriptions? You are doing great. I just am glad to help.
have like pics of the animals, or trading cards made. and distribute them to backers or in contests. When i was young{a long time ago} i used to have a collection of animal fact cards and i loved them, lol. Maybe the facts could be the ones that you dig up, the more obscure ones. or metallic pins of the animals.
Yes. More videos or at least early access to videos for patreon users. It would be fun to vote for the next video every now and again. Some merch would be nice too. Like some merch with your top 10 animals on it or one with the what to do if you see this animal on it, or maybe a chibi versions of animals you want to touch but can’t with words saying don’t touch.
I just signed up to support you and help with your lunch lol. I think you're doing great and I have learned a lot from watching your videos
💯
I know that I personally just signed up to support your content, I guess the things that might be interesting would be like... highlights of your research for the video that didn't make the cut, or other behind-the-video type things, but that'd be more a bonus than anything I think
You do not have to change thing. I just like your content. I signed up to help out because I do not want to loose you. You are extremely educational, yet funny and kind. You have a great heart and truly seem to love animals. Keep it up kiddo, you will go far! Love ya, Tam
💯
BTS, out takes, vlogs etc. I personally don't need merch or anything I just think people like getting to know more about you.
I don’t really think I’m a vlog kind of person but outtakes and bloopers are definitely something I can add!
BTS stuff, early access to more videos, more videos in general, voting on video subjects, merch
As folks have said, behind-the-scenes stuff would be great. I would also like to hear more about your research process, and how you think up and block out, and edit videos.
Make a Discord exclusive to Patreon members. So all of these suggestions can be discussed further a d you can get help by giving rights to certain people and those people in turn should regulate the Discord & make the Discord a fun place to meet and discuss things in nature, life & everything in between. I personally have had a couple of Discords that I've ran when I used to stream and others that I have moderated and I'm part of so many others that have awesome communities. If you would like further advice or information I'm here for you.
id pay for this. would be awesome to have a conversation with you
Cosigning on: • exclusive videos, or at least Patreon-only for the 1st week or two • outtakes, bloopers, behind the scenes, etc. • polls for upcoming content, collabs, etc. I'm not a big merch person (although I did buy your book when it first came out), but I'm open to it from this channel.
I'm onboard with behind the scenes, commentary on footage you chose not to use. Great job BTW. I drag all my relatives to your videos. You do a great job of making learning easy for the kids, in language they don't fall asleep to. Glad you're doing this, and Thank You!
You're the one thing I can brag about as a JerseyRican. That's good enough for me.
I love that haha
I didn't know you had a book. What's the title? Also, I just like getting the previews of your videos. 😊
100 Animals That Can F***ing End You haha
I would love the option to buy a signed copy of your book. It is one of my favorite books.
You do a great job already especially given the value of your Patreon membership levels. However I'd never turn down anything involving merch, discounts, free stuff, etc. Oh and side note, picked up a copy of your book on Amazon recently. Love it!
Thank you and glad you liked it!
You doing you is good enough for me, but I always hear the voice of an Israeli friend at a conference we attended "Can't Americans do anything without getting a t-shirt for it?"
Appreciate you and that’s hilarious 😂
Maybe shout-outs every now n them in your videos to the supporters. Like “I’d like to thank my patron/supporter John Doe for being a supporter of this channel”. Something like that. Would be nice to feel personally thanked 🤎🤎🤎 love your channel btw🤎🤎🤎
Thank you and of course, that’s definitely something to consider!
Suggestions I'm not asking for but exist for discussion: polls to provide input on subjects to cover in videos or discussion, merch- not just wearable stuff, early release of content, input on collabs, a lot depends on how much time you want to spend on this and how much interaction you want as well.
I can definitely have you guys vote on the next video so that’s definitely something I can easily implement. Early release content is another solid idea!
Extra content would be nice. Outtakes/bloopers or stuff relevant to a video you make that might be too much for the platforms you'd release on Behind the scenes or uncut footage that you're not happy with being in the final product Some people do free merch items to patrons, got an enamel pin from Trevor Roberts (Mystery Flesh Pit guy) Can't really go wrong with patron-chosen videos, maybe an extra one for the patrons every so often, or if you want everything to go public, they get a month/two before it launches
These are all solid suggestions! Thank you for the input, I really do appreciate it!
I second the sweet, sweet merch. Oreo bear extinction in three....two.....one....
Gotta make the blobfish merch happen
I know thought slime created merch that’s made at a worker owned print shop so no icky supply chain stuff. I would love some hood nature merch that I can feel good about
Honestly that’s a great idea. I’ve been burned in the past when trying to make merch but I definitely can try again!
