So you'll want fifteen sets total in the bank, in reserve, and ready to be put out before you open shop. Ideally, assuming that a 'theme' is the average base set (10x25mm, 10x 32mm, 5x 40mm, 2x 60mm, 5x 70x25mm (bike size), and 1x120mm (with flight stand option) - you want to have a saucy intro pack of two or three really interesting sets, and then two themes released a month. It'll mean that you're not running from month to month desperately trying to keep up because you've got stuff lined up already. Take your time and build up a reserve of stuff whilst honing your skills. You want more interesting themes and more of them. Trying to spit out the odd product with as low a bar for theme as 'rocks' might be a good way of developing your sculpting skills, but it sucks as marketing. The first thing you do is close up shop on Patreon for now. The fact you've been dipping in and out of it and had so little success is proof of that.

But trying to piecemeal it out as something you do on the side is actually going to hurt you more right now than treating it like a proper business venture. That all having been said, I think that there is a place for a bases patreon, and I think it could be successful. Not one other subscriber (making it high risk), no early bird tier, a sporadic release track record, and a 'meh' return for my investment both in terms of quality and quantity. stl subscriptions (I know, shut up), I cast an eye over your page and dismissed it pretty quickly.
