Crafters - Tumblr Posts

IOS users and Patreon. Big old heads up.

"Apple is requiring that Patreon use their in-app purchasing system and remove all other billing systems from the Patreon iOS app by November 2024. This means that starting in November, new memberships purchased in the iOS app will be subject to Apple's 30% App Store fee.

First, we want to be clear about one thing: this will not impact your existing memberships at all. Apple's App Store fee only applies to new memberships purchased in the iOS app beginning in November 2024."

Apple users, if you make your pledges through your browser you can dodge this fee.

This is just apple doing its usual nickel and diming to take a slice of every pie.

What’s it worth?

This morning I caught a post on a quilting Facebook feed… a member posted a picture of a delightful baby quilt and asked what she should charge the neighbor that just asked to buy it from her…

I beg of you, my fellow artists/hand-crafters, to read this! Same goes for you all who want to buy from an artist and/or crafter but still try to haggle with us on what we charge for our creations.

I’ll admit that I’ve under charged for my creations before. Now, believe me when I say (that for me) that the feelings that come from doing this can be downright depressing. It can negatively impact our sense of worth and our love for our art form(s).
