How would a patreon work for a daily release schedule? ?

[MorweMorningMorgen]

When some people talk about a patreon for a web novel, they usually think of a $1-5-10 tiered model, with X chapters released to such a tier per week.

But how would a web novel w/ daily release schedule be priced on Patreon? I'm having trouble imagining a model with advanced chapters.

How would this work?

Each chapter is ~2k words. 1 chapter is released a day.


I don't even know how advanced chapters work in general on Patreon.

While I have no patreon, I'm pretty sure advanced chapters are just as it says advanced chapters. Meaning they are a certain number of chapters ahead of whats the currently posted chapter on SH. So, if you just posted chapter 15 on Scribble Hub, than on your patreon, here is a basic and generic model of tiers.

Tier 1 (1$) = Two Advanced chapters. So when you post Chapter 15 on SH, Tier 1 subscribers would be reading chapters 16 and 17.
Tier 2 (5$) = Five Advanced chapters. So when you posted Chapter 15 on SH, Tier 2 subscribers would be reading chapters 16 to 20.
Tier 3 (10$) = Ten Advanced chapters. So when you posted Chapter 15 on SH, Tier 3 subscribers would be reading chapters 16 to 25.

This is the most basic concept and considering there are many patreons, different peeps do and handle theirs differently. Still, this is the basic way I suppose for those who don't wan't to be complicated. Of course, this also requires you to have a backlog of dozens of chapters already written to even be able to set prices and tiers.

Well either you don't post daily or you create an advanced chapter log of 3-50chaps and post it up on patreon.

1- You don't post daily but only on weekdays, you have 3-50 chaps up on patreon for whoever can't wait through the weekend for you to post again.
2- You post daily and have 3-50 advance chapters up on patreon for those who can't wait until the next day.

If you choose 1 then you need to release long chapters of great quality (obviously)
If you choose 2 then you need to have a lot of advance chapters.

In 2, I'm still having trouble imagining how those advanced chapters work. Do they get advanced chapters every day?

If they do, how does it exactly work? On Monday, they read Chapters 1-4, & then on Tuesday, Chapters 2-5? I'm still confused. Wouldn't the advanced chapters overlap?

Do you think a weekly model can still work for daily releases?

I don't see what Is the issue.
You post chapter x on SH, then you show your already uploaded chapter x+whatever the tier privilage Is on patreon.
Easy...

Okai. Imagine this.
I have started a story. I have posted ten chapters up online but I have twenty chapter written and edited.
I start a patreon and post chapter 11-20 on the patreon.
Next day I write chapter 21 and post it on patreon and I post chapter 11 on SH, in chapter 11 Author notes I tell readers I have a patreon with 10 advance chapters and I post daily.

Reader sees this and realizes they can read more chapters, ie, chapter 12-21. Reader becomes patreon.

All you have to do is keep up the writing and posting. You write new chapter, you post it on patreon and post old chapter on SH.
In the end you still write daily and post daily, nothing changes, all that changes is the reader becoming a patron.
Hope I explained this well.

yes, they overlap

The patrons get 10 chapters for the first time, and then they get as many chapters as everyone else.
But they will still be 10 chapters ahead of all the non-paying consumers.
