PLEASE NOTE
Hej Messmate,
The Resilience sails because of reader support, but that support takes many forms beyond financial contributions. This page explains how you can help keep our literary adventures afloat.
How Reader Support Works
Financial Support: Purchasing our books, games, and products directly funds our creative work and business operations. Every sale helps us continue creating and expanding our literary universe.
Affiliate Purchases: When you buy through our affiliate links, we earn small commissions that help cover operational costs like hosting, software, and promotional activities.
Engagement Support: Your likes, comments, shares, and subscriptions are invaluable. They boost our visibility, help us reach new readers, and provide the community interaction that makes this whole adventure worthwhile.
The Most Valuable Currency
While we do need income to sustain our operations, the most precious support often costs nothing:
Word of Mouth: Recommending our books to friends, book clubs, or online communities
Social Sharing: Sharing posts about our stories, characters, or updates
Reviews: Honest reviews on bookstores, Goodreads, or social media platforms
Community Participation: Engaging in our Discord, commenting on posts, joining discussions
Ways to Support Us
Direct Purchases: Books, games, merchandise from our official stores
Subscription Support: Substack free and paid tiers, membership programs, premium content access, newsletter subscriptions, follows, social media connections
Donations: One-time or recurring donations through Ko-fi or similar platforms
Community Engagement: Participating in discussions, sharing your thoughts, celebrating milestones with us
Spreading the Word: Mentioning us to fellow readers, sharing content you enjoy
Patience and Understanding: Supporting us through technical difficulties, content delays, or growing pains
What We Don’t Expect
Purchasing Everything: You don’t need to buy every book or product to be valued community member
Constant Engagement: Real life comes first – engage when you can, not because you feel obligated
Financial Support Beyond Your Means: Never stress your budget to support creators
Uncritical Praise: Honest feedback helps us improve
Why This Matters
As independent creators, we don’t have corporate marketing budgets or massive distribution networks. Our growth depends on authentic reader connections and organic community building.
When you share a post, leave a thoughtful comment, or recommend our work to someone else, you’re helping us in ways that money alone cannot achieve.
Thank You!
Whether you’ve purchased every book we’ve published or simply enjoy our free content, whether you share every post or quietly read along – you’re part of our crew, and we appreciate you.
The Resilience exists because readers like you believe in independent storytelling and creative communities.
