Question about starting a Patreon

[TachimeSan]

As the title suggest, I recently decided to start a Patreon and I was just wondering whether I should post all of my already available chapters on my Patreon, or just post the upcoming chapters? I apologize in advance if this is considered to be a stupid question, I just really don't have any experience in posting on Patreon.

I have them all just for the sake of people who come for one story and then decide to check out the other one on Patreon from the beginning instead of looking for it on the novel sites. I'd say upload all in case you'll have more than one story. It also allows people to browse past content without switching platforms. Just my opinion. You can do whatever.

I agree with @Saileri . Put your existing content on Patreon without a paywall and put your exclusive content behind the paywall. This way, people can happenacross your Patreon site and sample the goods and decide whether your writing is for them. It's a lot more welcoming than scoping out an artist they might like and finding nothing but a wall of posts they can't read.

Well, I didn't really unlock them. At least yet. Dunno if I'll do it. We'll see. Since I have some explicit content, even if it's fitting all the rules, it's safer holding it behind locked access. Just to avoid some fly-by reports.

I post them when I finish typing them so people can laugh at my typos.
