    I am considering moving some novels to their own Patreon. It has gotten quite crowded now on this patreon page

    1. Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter

    2. Maou Ni

    You can vote on Patreon if you prefer

    Cheers!

    Honestly, this would make you lose more than gain. you should just use the same patreon and maybe add a donation tab that allows the donator to click on the novel they want to donate for and the amount total amount to be shown on a bar chart for that novel.

    If it's simultaneous? then yes, definitely second patron.
    But for your higher tier patrons I see nothing wrong giving access to both/all stories.

    I am no web design expert, but I am sure you can find many around here or hire one from a company.

    Hmm fee wise if a patron was willing to donate to both novels.
    I'd say keep them in the same patreon; as if you decided to split them patrons would have to donate separately and patreon would get more in fees because they see it as 2 separate donations (so less for you if you have separate); unlike if they donate to only one, you'd only have to deal with one fee.

    And if they only want to support one or multiple without seeing ahead, you can offer just a ko-fi or a paypal donate button?

    That's not the issue it has just become quite difficult to manage multiple novels on one Patreon

    There are membership plugins available yes but apart from the learning curve, Patreon is trusted more by donors, more expensive to implement, and a monthly SaaS would be better since I can't fix issues myself.
    Patreon already offers me all the above. I don't want an error to make the service unavailable.
    I have found some options but they miss one or two things

    Thanks. I have more than two novels and I decided to move the most popular one to its own separate Patreon.
    Everyone wants to read ahead so Ko-fi or PayPal won't work.
    Thanks anyway
