Question about upping prices to my tier

Hi all,

I posted in here a few months ago about losing patrons, luckily my bad luck has finally stopped and I’m now keeping patrons!

Recently, I did a poll asking what kind of exclusive content my patrons would like to see, and someone commented that they’d like longer stories.

At the moment, my price for my single tier is £2 ($3), and I feel as though that if I wrote longer stories. My writing is usually 4-5000 words per post, which I feel like is severely undercharging myself anyway. But if did do longer posts, I feel like I’d need to raise my tier price to at least £5. But I’m a little worried about doing that because I wanted to make my Patreon affordable for everyone and I just wanted to know if what I would be asking for would be too much?

And if I did this, how would I go about telling my patrons this? I have no doubt I’d lose a few patrons, but I just wanted to get other people’s opinions on it before I did it.
