Many people have suggested that I open up a Patreon account to avoid any future tangles with the IRS. It is a notion that I have readily embraced, and Kathleen has set it up.
Those who sign up will receive a host of neat stuff, including original artwork, chapters of my future autobiography, chapters of forthcoming books, Cowboy Pete, my observations on writing, Q&As, and all other kinds of neat stuff.
Just click here for my Patreon Account. . Spread the word. And enjoy the ride.

It looks like each tier is set up on a per-month basis. Is that correct?

Yes.
I would suggest looking into software to help you track your adoption rates and popular reward tiers over time. This will help you adjust your tier rewards and offer new tiers based on feedback and your time commitments.
Many Patreon accounts offer $3 and $5 reward tiers, I think, because of this. The leap between $1 ($12/year) to $10 ($120/year) can be daunting for those who want to offer more than a dollar but can’t afford the ten.
Best of luck!
I didn’t think I’d need that because frankly I didn’t think it would be hard to get a thousand people at a dollar each. Which hasn’t happened. If they won’t even put in a buck, I doubt they will flock to $3 or $5.
