But... this answer just makes it more opaque? The blog posts starts out with "I am looking to serve small communities that would have trouble hiring someone at all to do planning and economic development work for them.". So I'm thinking you offer work in that field, right? But your website mentions copywriting and generic web development? What are these "small communities" you're talking about, if not small towns or neighbourhoods? Are you targeting small government agencies? If not, who are you targeting? What does Patreon have to do with it? I mean, no small organisation that can't afford a few thousand for consultancy work is going to pay a tiny recurring amount to some random person on the internet - just the accouting for those expenses will cost a multiple of the actual payment! You say "It's an experiment" - but what is? What are you offering? What are you asking, and who are you asking? So far the argument seems to be "some things are too expensive for some organisations, but I'm going to offer it cheaper!" without even knowing what those "some things" are? The post says "services under $5000 and some under $1000" - what are those services? If I have $2500, what can you do for me for that money?
