Hi y'all,

I've been considering starting a Patreon account and to that end, 
I'm mulling over the types of perks to offer at various levels.

Any suggestions?

Should probably ask people that you know might consider 
subscribing to your Patreon.

It's rather difficult unless there is a specific course behind 
your Patreon page that will make people support you.

I thought you might be one candidate, bauss. I know we've 
discussed GtkD on at least one occasion on this forum.

As for where to find other people I know who might be 
interested... I've got this forum, the Reddit D Programming feed, 
and the forum over on GtkD.org... Oh. And Gnome Discourse... and, 
of course, the Facebook group I started.  I don't know who else 
would potentially be my audience.

Audience building has been slow going, mostly—I think—because D 
and GtkD aren't exactly mainstream yet. Part of my goal is, of 
course, to help change this.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not really clear on what you mean 
by 'course.'

Yup, too true. I considered the Learn sub-forum, but this seemed 
more like an announce-y thing to me. Perhaps the moderator can 
step in and give me some guidance as to whether this thread 
should (or even can) be moved.

Thanks for you feedback, bauss.

I might chip in at some point.

Sharing posts to Reddit etc. might be a way to gain audience.

My bad for the typo. Meant "cause"
