Tier 1: $5/month or such. Tier 2: pay what you want. No need for names in credits, early access, etc, as all it does is create more work for you, which requires more money, thus negating the benefit of actually getting more money. Just keep doing more of what you're doing but on a regular basis and slowly integrate more additional content. Perhaps some collaborations with other channels, some exploration of software technologies, equipment reviews, etc. And if you want more ideas, start a forum or such and have we viewers throw some ideas at ya and pick whatever you think will work -- no need for you to go at it all alone. Having said that, I hope the next part of the year is more mundane relative to what you've recently experienced and thanks for taking the time to post the content that you have.

I understand your main focus is on big fiber jobs like you have been showing on your videos, but for those of us who are amateurs and just trying to set up good home networks, maybe some focus on residential installs. Best practices on cabling, retrofits for existing homes, wiring for new homes. Also setting up wifi with extenders or multi access points to cover larger homes or multiple buildings. Maybe diagnosing partially cut cables, finding the break and pulling replacement wires through the walls.

I am very sorry to hear about your string of bad luck Mr. Ninja; but I do hope that things are on the upswing. Very glad that you are considering the Patreon idea. The tiers are one way to go and seem to work for most and I think would work well with you, since your content is always top-notch. One "perk" for contributors would be that at a certain tier; those supporters get like a half hour group Hangouts session with you for like a Q&A session. I know I would be interested in that. Hope everything gets better; and remember; we (your loyal audience) are here if you need us.

Tier 1. You list all those at the end of the video. Credits Tier 2. You personally shout them out. Including in the credits. Tier 3. Early access to your videos.

Hey man.. first off, hope you get better soon, being out of commission is shit ;( Tbh just set up 3 tiers, and lets us decide which tier we want to support you with, no need to decide on any perks right now, they can always come later.. You could use the time off you feet on getting better at the non-technical aspects of being independent, will help you when you bet back out there, figure out a system that works for you and setup some workflows, so that when you get out again, you have all the bothersome procedures in place..

I guess there are a lot of things you could show and teach right from your desk, all the nitty gritty details that pros would call experience: like different cable types, which to use when, reviewing Networking Equipment, how to design a network from the "software" side, i.e. how to set up the UniFi Software stack, what types of Internet connections are used, what the tradeoffs are. I could probably continue the list forever. Just remember that KZbin is a huge place and these small how-to videos (they needn't be longer than maybe 2-3 Minutes each) will be what attracts people to your channel if they just search for "How to install a keystone jack". They will have some material they can then watch from your longer videos. And you can get back to making those longer, in-the-field videos when you are back on track with your foot! Wishing you all the best from Germany and a German who used to live in NorCal and probably will move back there soon! Looking forward to your new content!

Wow, sorry to hear things have been so rough for you these past months. The universe does have a strange way of pushing you in new directions. As you mentioned it sounds like a break from your normal activities could be good - you have so many possibilities ahead of you in terms of what you can do with your channel which most likely will equal compensation. There are so many people here including myself that would love to support what you do though Patreon. How about taking some time to do quick reviews on your favorite go-to tools? Or what about doing a series of videos on proper usage of zip ties and how to use them to build structured bundles of wires? All of those could easily be done from your workstation area so you don't have to move around a lot. There are so many topics you could cover to share your knowledge, and so many of us that want to soak it up! I think it's about time for a FiberNinja Academy! :)

I agree with what some others have said about tiers. Forget about a bunch of tiers, and focus on something like a base tier which just has a thanks on the videos (or on a website), a middle tier with early access to videos, like say a week early, and a high tier with access to an exclusive Q&A session or group chat type thing, maybe once a month. I'd make those videos public after the fact (again, maybe a week delay). I'd probably pitch in something around $5/month. I also agree that some videos on tool comparisons, perhaps budget ideas (how to make a decent budget network install, focusing more on the infrastructure and not the switch/router side of things), etc.

Alright, I wouldn't worry too much about patreon tiers, I fund content I enjoy and you're a growing channel so doing much tier-who-knows-what consumes your time and doesn't make you grow. If you truly want to add tiers then you need just about 1-3 levels. Supporter (list their name at end of credits or at start of the video, i don't care if my name is listed or not), Early-Bird (give access to content from 1 to 7 days early). Most Patreon supporters just truly want to support starting channels until they can get more money from youtube advertisements. Also a tip: You will receive a ton "review our product for XXX dollars and make sure you do not make us look too bad". Make a statement about your policy to review anything if you decided to do them ever. You can check Louis Rossman's or Eevblog's Dave Jones way to do it. They both explain in their videos why they did not do or did certain reviews and what kind terms they consider just to be bullshit. Most people on their channels watch entire very long videos from start to stop and your audience is pretty much same.

Two routes to go here: Route one is the easy way to get the cash flowing. Add a “pay what you want” tier for people who just want to support, and a $5 tier where the donators get their names in credits at the end of the video. Route 2: to keep yourself busy, you could add $10 or $25 tiers where people can ask you questions, get shoutouts, etc.

Surely a man with your skills and attention to detail would be an incredible asset to any IT contractor? What I wonder is what your level of attention to detail costs the small businesses who hire you, and can/will they afford it. If I were you, I would consider making a 'digest' video, with several before and afters, then contact all the small IT businesses in your area (I'm a Brit, so may not have a realistic understanding of what's local in the US!) and I'm sure you would be instantly used. Of course, your ankle injury notwithstanding. But I wish you the very best of luck. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger (as I seem to have found in recent years!). Wishing you the very best of luck and more of it!!
@FiberNinjaStudios6 жыл бұрын
I'm not as valuable of an asset to most IT contractors as you may think. In their eyes, I take too long to do a normal job (and I completely understand their viewpoint). What I've accepted in this last year is that the clientele that I need to be marketing myself to are more of the high-end type that aren't looking for the "lowest bidder" to do their work. I've actually outright said that to some prospective clients: "If you're looking for a lowest bidder with my estimate of this work, don't bother. I'm not and probably never will be the lowest bidder on a job."
@nickharvey51496 жыл бұрын
Then maybe high-end residential architects (and maybe builders/contractors - not sure what you call them over there) might be a potential target. I get a lot of work via that route. In this case I think an introduction is crucial, as I know most of them are buried in sales calls! I refuse to accept that your skills would not be enormously attractive to many, although I accept, not all! Most people worth dealing with understand that the cheapest is very often not the best by any stretch!

1 week delay just like aVe and you could follow his channel and do tool reviews and teardowns interspersed with how to and best practice videos obviously different content, network focused rather than industrial/metal fabrication

Life sometimes has a way of clearing out the crap and releasing you from things weighing you down. While life on the same token can also be very cruel, trust that it will all balance out. For what it's worth, you look healthier now than you have before considering what has happened. When life gives you lemons, make lemon hand grenades - breach and clear :P Hope 2018 works out amazing for you ;)

How about a video on your life in IT Networking.... I remember my first networks were ArcNet, and TwinAx.

Have you seen my video #023 where I talk about my job title and career advise? I'm not sure if that was sufficient or did you want a deeper dive into the IT background I have?

If you ever do at home work or working on things at home and want to educate, you could always try out Twitch... you'll probably have to start from the ground up but eventually you can make some nice donation money from there + subscription monies.

Also seems like people who do live streams make out good by accepting "super chat" money to get their questions anwsered

Start a new a second channel to teaching knowledge with private videos putting the url on a patreon account. It's a GREAT way to spend time and still make some on the way to recover from your injuries, it also take you some time from thinking on life. =) Set a goal, then rethink it to a realistic point them go for it. =) Hope I helped! Thank you for your work, love it!

Oh dear, you've had such a rough patch lately. Hope you get well but do take the time to heal. As far as content goes; whatever the heck you want, I'll still watch it networking setups and or tours, what why how cabling, connectors, standards etc. networking tools, how to, comparisons networking chit chat in general As far as Patreon/crowdfunding goes; Don't worry too much about the tiers or perks on Patreon. Maybe you could have 3 tiers: 1-2$ "token support" level, 3-5$ and pay what you want (=more than tier 2). Video as unlisted and every tier gets early access x days before. When you've got most of the stuff figured out then you can worry about the perks if you want to. One example would be a "Patreon only" Discord chat room. Q&A videos. But honestly, I doubt many care about the perks, especially with small channels. I for example would just like to support you. Also, merch. Look into that. There are companies that will handle the supply chain and sales and so on for a cut of the sales. Maybe a t-shirt. A mug. Perhaps some branded, basic tools that you use on a day to day basis and absolutely love.

I would like to see you do this with patreon: 1. delay videos and let patreons to see them first 2. 2nd tier can be contacted by you with skype/viber on video call from work site or exiting place. OR have them see you live only, for them. 3. tier 3 can have goodies sent to them from time to time from you
