Two improvements in the Digital Downloads tier
Dear member,
The stock taking that I recently undertook of the "Downloadable Content" collection, together with the entries in the Quiz, which by and large massively under-estimated the content therein, convinced me that I need to market this tier better and ensure its benefits are clear and well understood.
With that in mind, I am making the following changes:
To better reflect the benefits of the tier, it is now named the "5000+ Digital Downloads" tier - there are now links to download 5331 photos and 80 videos with 23 models in the tier. To keep calling it the "100+ Digital downloads" tier is a massive under-statement of its benefits. Anyone who isn't familiar with it will think they will only get one hundred or so files to download.
The original name, for those familiar with the tier, relates to a benefit that I intend to retain: new members or those renewing their membership are entitled to 100+ additional downloads for every month of their membership. That stays in place. But it is only a marginal benefit over and above the 5400 files that are already available to download.
So the new name will certainly make the benefits clearer.
The second change that I am making improves the benefits in this tier significantly. From now on, I will be making available to download all retouched photos with every model I shoot, as soon as the retouching is complete.
This, in effect, means that members of this tier will have access to all the retouched content well before it appears on the feed.
As you know, because of the large number of content that I am creating, there is a significant backlog of posts before they actually appear on the feed.
Currently the queue is about 3-4 weeks. I am currently scheduling posts for mid-November, as October and early November are complete.
So members in the 5000+ Digital Downloads tier will have access to all the retouched photos from shoots as soon as they are ready.
This also means that the downloadable content will increase over time irrespective of there being any requests from subscribers, making this tier even more attractive.
Members’ 100+ requests moving forward should therefore only be for unedited photos or videos. I translate 100+ photos as the equivalent of 5 videos should you just want videos.
I am implementing both the above changes with immediate effect.
I am, therefore, adding all the retouched photos with Chloe (those that comply with Patreon guidelines) later today and will do the same with all the shoots I have later this month. This, in effect, means that there are, as of today, 24 models in the Downloadable Contents collection.
Paid members will be aware that later this month I am shooting again with one of their favourite models before heading off to Athens where I’ll shoot with three models and Cyprus where I’ll shoot with another two. They’re also aware that in November I will be shooting in Cyprus and in Frankfurt with more models, including two new who are new to me.
In this post I include screenshots with the posts in the Downloadable content collection (taken yesterday, so content with Chloe is not included yet) - to which anyone joining the 5000+ Digital Downloads tier has full and unlimited access to, whilst their membership remains active.
In addition, as explained above, new or renewing members can request their additional entitlement of 100+ unedited photos or 5 videos with a model of their choice.
ps: after all the screenshots with the content, I have included (Patreon-public-post-safe) photos with the 24 models in this tier.
