How to strategically post a long term novel?

[McPhoenixDavid]

Original work.

Fantasy world.

200 chapters.

I want to publish it on RR and Scribblehub while running a Patreon.

Asking tips from veteran readers and authors.

Thanks in advance.

Post 5 chapters a week, offer read ahead on Patreon. Do not post it all at once on Patreon if you want to keep monthly subs.

Alright.

Is 10 chapters ahead for $5 and 20 chapters ahead for $10 a good deal?

Nice Cover

I think it depends on how many words.

2.5K words?

Never did anything with my account, but I've heard from others that, unless they provide additional services (artwork, customized chapters, etc.), having multiple tier memberships just is not worth the strain of setting them up.

2.5K words?

Sounds good to me.

Está bien.

¿Es una buena oferta adquirir 10 capítulos por adelantado por $5 y 20 capítulos por adelantado por $10?

Personalmente, en Patreon ofrezco 30 capítulos por $20, 15 por alrededor de $12 y 8 por $6

How many words in each of those chapters? How many chapters do you drop weekly?

Id probably plan to finish releasing whenever you finish your next book. So if you think it will take a year, release 4 a week, then you can transition your audience right into your new novel.

My chapters average between 2,500 and 3,000 words, and I usually publish daily. However, I have multiple novels, so I don't always update the same story

Hmm. Makes sense.

I see...

What do you think about "burst release"?
