Coreyartus Imagery<p>So I’ve circled back to Ko-fi for my monthly greeting card subscription service, Coreyartus Card Club.</p><p>Ko-fi was recommended to me by a couple people on different platforms I belong to, and after revisiting it I think it’s going to do what I want it to do.</p><p>I’d actually started there a long time ago, and got pulled away by Fourthwall’s integration with a now defunct streaming platform called LiveSpace. I held onto it for a long time and tried to make what I felt was a legit Patreon substitute.</p><p>But I think it may not be a good fit for me. Fourthwall is clearly for streamers who need merch. And I was trying to make it be something else… In the back of my head, I thought I might someday take advantage of their POD capacities, but in all the time I was there I never did. I just wasn’t into making POD stuff… I tried that on Society6 a long time ago, and even with some Etsy integrations, but it just never clicked for me.</p><p>Fourthwall has a lot of potential. It’s cheap. It has a lot of features, with more all the time.</p><p>But I don’t think it’s gonna work out for me, personally. I’m going to shift back to Ko-fi and restart my efforts there. Wish me luck!</p><p><a href="https://ko-fi.com/post/Circling-Back-H2H21FSEJU" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ko-fi.com/post/Circling-Back-H</span><span class="invisible">2H21FSEJU</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/artistlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>artistlife</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/patreon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>patreon</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/subscription" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>subscription</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/kofi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kofi</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/greetingcards" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>greetingcards</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/fourthwall" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fourthwall</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/POD" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>POD</span></a></p>
