Patronizers, especially print level Patronizers, are top-tier supporters. Make them happy. Patronizers can sign up via Patreon or TWP direct.
Verify List of Current Patronizers
MWL does this step.
Verify print-level Patronizer shipping information when the Kickstarter survey launches. I have few enough Patronizers that I maintain a spreadsheet of their shipping information and phone numbers.
Copy the latest Patronizer spreadsheet from the prior book to a new sheet named after the current book. Verify current membership of each entry.
Patreon:
* Log into Patreon creator account. * click Audience * click Paid members * under Filters, select Saved filters - > Print Tiers * make sure those names are in the spreadsheet
TWP:
* Log into woocommerce * select woocommerce→ memberships * select Active * check for memberships in Print Readership tier. (Higher levels are included in this list.) * verify all these names are in the spreadsheet * if any show last activity as over 1 month ago, check the account to see if they're on a quarterly or yearly plan – be sure they've paid. Woo can be flaky about who's active and who isn't.
Once spreadsheet is updated
On the mail server, MWL updates verify-patronizer-addresses.pl for the current book and makes sure the sender address is the DAD account.
MWL uploads the spreadsheet to the mail server and runs verify-patronizer-addresses.pl.
Patronizers reply with “yes, that's right” or corrections. Replies go to DAD's email.
DAD updates the control spreadsheet as needed.
