Thoughts on Patreon?

Do you know what Patreon is?Here's a link. Take a sec to check it out. Okay?www.patreon.com/

Okay. So I'd like to use Patreon. I think it's idea for someone who does what I do, which is make web comics a few times a week. There's two models that I see other web comic people using. One is the "per month" model. That's where I ask for support for each month worth of comics that I make (and when I say "comics", I mean pages or strips. And I make about 10-12 of those a month right now). I like this because it means I'm providing one big lump of content every month, and asking people to contribute for that. 12 pages has value. 12 pages a month is a package that is attractive to a lot of people.

The other model that I see is "per comic" model. I'm asking people to give for each comic I post. A lot of people like this model, and a lot of people feel like they can contribute 50 cents or a dollar or whatever per comic.

Okay, so I'm trying to decide which is better for me and my readers. Of course, different people will have different preferences. The "Per Month" method is nice and easy, and presents an attractive package of work that I think a lot of people will be willing to support. Giving a little bit of money every month to support the production of 10, 12 or 15 comics is pretty reasonable, I think. On the other hand, most people are recommending a "Per Comic" approach. But... most of the people recommending this don't make comics (although they have used Patreon). I also worry that people will be less interested in giving 10 or 12 or 15 times a month then just giving once a month. Even if it ends up being the same amount of money.

Anyway... thoughts?
