I Hear You, Lovelies!
Added 2020-01-09 17:15:13 +0000 UTCSo! What a week!
We began a new year, a new decade and I dipped my toe into the wild world of merch tiers.
It was a grand adventure to be sure.
I learned a lot.... my beard grew an inch and so did my wi-
*ahem*
The point is... I learned a lot about how I want to do things and how I don't.
I am still going to be expanding as a creator but I'm going to do it my way rather than try to fit into the mold set by a company.
Thank You!
I really learned a lot by getting your feedback about the merch tiers.
It really encouraged me to see how many of you believe in me and think I should be aiming higher for myself.
Many MANY of you expressed that you wanted ringtones but would rather buy mugs and stickers on the merch site rather than wait 3 months.
SOOOOO
We are bidding a fond farewell to the short-lived Mug and Sticker tiers.

And saying "Hellloooo" to our shiny new Ringtone tier!
(Don't fret, I'll be adding the tree design to the TeeSpring site for those of you who would like them and they will be cheaper! yay!)
You Rang?
This new tier includes exclusive ringtones that will only be available to people in the tier! Brainstorm with me on the kinds of sounds you want your phone to be makin!
Also Included:
♣ - Audio Workshop Thread!
Workshop ideas with me! Each month I will post a thread where you can offer an audio idea you've been wanting to hear! During the month I will choose audio ideas from the thread to feature into Gaelforce Audios!
♣ - Participate in all rambles
♣ - Access to all past content.
♣ - Hear new audios as soon as they are live! (twice weekly)
♣ - Workshop with me and provide feedback on audios that will one day be released to the public!
I am quite excited to create for the new tier. I plan to release 1 new ringtone a week and we'll see what kind of mischief we can get up to.
I've many ideas. Gael growls. Seanie Snorts. Maybe Finbar?
It's going to be a party of creativity over on the Bell tier! So come on over!

Thank you for being patient with me as I make my wobbly steps into 2020. I have no plans to mess with the tiers further.
Regardless of what tier you're in, if you're reading this I am so glad you're here. Thank you for sticking by me!
Have I mentioned I love ye? To bits!
~Your Evolving Mayor!

2020-01-11 18:46:13 +0000 UTCFor those of you in the new tier, You may have to "unlock" the other tiers. (this doesn't cost money) You just click unlock and it'll say it costs $0.00 to unlock and you're all set
2020-01-11 11:21:16 +0000 UTCdon't u think he will make an extra post for the ringtone ideas? hey... i just realized... am i not eligible for the workshop now?? like i could post an idea?
2020-01-11 10:50:37 +0000 UTCAny chance of the very occasional voicemail message, Gael, i.e. Finbar gently empathising with the missed caller that the phone owner’s probably on the computer (again!) but to leave a message anyway. You could even name-drop Gaelforce Audios as the site (s)he’s probably looking at – free advertising and brand awareness thingie-ness right there! Not on every voicemail, as some lovelies may want to keep their listening habits quiet but, for those that are happy with it….

2020-01-11 10:27:56 +0000 UTCnot that I'm leaving, I just joined the ringtone tier😁😍, you are stuck with me 🤷♀️😎💋
2020-01-10 12:02:56 +0000 UTCThis above all: to thine own self be true And it must follow, as the night the day Thou canst not then be false to any man Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!
2020-01-10 11:57:55 +0000 UTCI agree, he should be more open with numbers. He can’t always do all alone or come up with solution on his own. We are so many, with all kinds of personal and professional experiences, there will always be someone with a view, opinion or relatable situation he can profit from. He says community and we’re all in this together, but he keeps us out of the more difficult parts, which is not necessary. We can handle it and we can help! (I would, said it before and meant it.)
2020-01-10 09:00:06 +0000 UTC😂😂😂 I can’t stop laughing... a hand in millions of orgasms.... dead! 🤣🤣🤣
2020-01-10 08:51:20 +0000 UTCReally would like to see the numbers
2020-01-10 08:40:22 +0000 UTCYay!! This is fantastic news! I DID NOT want anyone taking part of your income/profit/livelihood. This is the best news!! I am not even sure if you are still reading comments as you posted this yesterday and I always seem to be a day behind lately (or more) what with real life and whatnot. 😉 I have been waiting FOR YEARS for you to up your ante with the amount you ask for from your patrons. The amount and quality of work you put out is above and beyond what you ask for, and I realize that this is your passion and your work ethic at play but you cannot let your conscience not allow you to be able to ask for your worth. And trust me, you are worth WAY more than this latest tier you’ve added but …….I love that you realize we all have a real life with real debt/bills and this baby step may be all we as a group can afford right now. Plus it opens the field so to speak to see what your Lovelies can afford. And it does it without leaving anyone behind or losing benefits. So I am here to say I am officially proud of you (always am) and I am looking forward to you having more stability in the income area with regards to this past year and what YouTube has done to your channel. I hope this closes the gap somewhat for you and allows you to breathe a little more. Now start those merch campaigns and I promise you won’t be disappointed with how much we stand behind you! 👍 And continue to listen to our design ideas for what we want to see on your merchandise and what we’d proudly carry around with us. We have so many ideas!!! Maybe hold an art contest?? Have some people submit ideas, etc. If you start a thread for it, maybe your PMs won’t be bombarded. 😉😘 Having said that, this is the lecture incoming (it’s short, don’t sweat)…….never, ever, never neglect to let us know that you are hurting in anyway. Be it financial, stress, voice, health, etc., etc. I hate the idea that YouTube's dumb-ass monetary strike against you was putting you in any type of strain financially. Tell us, please. 🙏 For those of us that can help, we will. You know we will. And not one of us will think a single bad thought about you or think you are trying to scam money out of us. Your heart is golden Gael, we know your conscience would never allow it. (((lecture is over)))) Bottom line: thank you for always listening to us, being there for us and being our internet “home”. Love you to bits my friend and I’ll see you in the new tier! 👍😉😘😘💖💖 PS - as for your Wi.....growing.....ehm.....not sure I could handle it being any bigger. 😉😈😈🍆 and I'm in the minority with the beard, I am not a facial hair person AT ALL. My skin is sensitive and it chafes the wrong places if you catch my drift, even my face. 😉😘😘😋
2020-01-10 06:01:44 +0000 UTCHi Chelie! I’m in LA and looking forward to receiving your rain 🤗
2020-01-10 01:36:33 +0000 UTCYES, YES, YES!!! I’m so proud of you for deciding to “do things my way.” That’s what the successful people do who want longevity and to be able to sleep! I’m so excited for you, Gael! 🎉💪🏼👊🏼😘♥️♥️♥️ I will happily switch to the new ringtone tier and have fun assigning them to various contacts, lol!! My donation will not decrease to match the tier, however-it will stay as is! 🥂to a joyous and prosperous 2020, G!♥️

2020-01-10 01:24:59 +0000 UTCYay!!!! Not gonna lie, I h as d been wondering who I could give that mug to... I wanted ringtones, and the mug design is cool, but between the 7-year old niece at home & the 11- to 14-year old students at work, there's no place I can really keep a mug that says "cum" & "fucking" on it in bright, noticeable letters without causing problems. Comhghairdeas agus GRMA for finding an elegant solution that works for you & for our community! It's been lovely to watch your confidence grow as you've jumped in with both feet over the past few years. Remember when this was something you mostly just did for the craic, and you loved making art but were deeply uncomfortable accepting money for it? (Every artist I know has gone through that stage, btw, including the ones who've since gone professional.) And now you've found a way to make it a sustainable career, with your own recording studio & everything! And what a career so far! Let's see... you've already shared comfort, healing words, laughter, & meditative calm with literally thousands of people all over the world, and had a hand (ahem) in millions of orgasms. Not a bad start! 😁 I'm seriously proud of you. Now if you can come up with a ringtone I can use for my alarm to not mind it going off at 4:30 every weekday morning (which, given your track record, may be like week 3)... I'll be *really* impressed. 😆😉😂

2020-01-10 00:16:24 +0000 UTC*opens a bag of cough drops, since there seems to be an awful lot of coughing in this thread*
2020-01-09 20:58:43 +0000 UTCLove your executive decision making skills. When reading the the feedback you got initially, I imagined being in your shoes and it was way too much pressure. Love to see you moving on up while still trying to please everyone. Much appreciated 💕
2020-01-09 20:30:05 +0000 UTCI can just imagine being at work and my phone starts growling. 😂 The looks on my coworkers’ faces would be so worth it. While I’m thinking about it I’d love a ring tone of you saying, “You’ve got this Mo Stór,” or Seanie saying something funny about not picking up the phone.
2020-01-09 20:19:36 +0000 UTChe's new to the world of high heels lmao
2020-01-09 19:56:54 +0000 UTCYour wi… *cough* beard grew an inch within a week?! Even though this is your Patreon, your workplace, your livelihood,... you always make us feel like we‘re all in this together! I hope you know how unique you are in your approach and that you feel like you have the freedom to try different things and explore new avenues, because we‘ll always got your back!
2020-01-09 19:55:42 +0000 UTCNo pics mean it never happened 🤔📸 You know us, G! Snap, snap! I'm excited for anything that results in growth for you and your career. Do you, Boo! Cause the tried and true are here for you ♥️ Love ya from Alabama to the West of Ireland!
2020-01-09 19:53:11 +0000 UTCOh hell yes 🤗 Do yo thang, darlin. We appreciate you taking the time for our input. 💕
2020-01-09 19:35:56 +0000 UTCreads "wobbly steps" and immediately goes into aunt-of-a-toddler mode: It's okay. We've got you. We'll catch you if you stumble. <3
2020-01-09 18:54:53 +0000 UTCYaaaaaaaaaaasssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited & totally onboard with this idea! Thank you for listening & changing your offerings this way!
2020-01-09 18:50:27 +0000 UTCMust have been so stressful going through all of that merch stuff. My head would've been spinning. Wanting to please everyone but also making it feel right for yourself. Happy you have found something you feel good settling with. 😊 I am just here for the ride. I approve of whatever you decide on as long as I am able to listen to you.
2020-01-09 18:44:01 +0000 UTCI love the way your brain works.
Belloya
2020-01-09 18:42:00 +0000 UTCYess G!!! Keep going, Keep moving ☝. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
2020-01-09 18:41:37 +0000 UTCThat's genius!! Love that one! :-D
Nix
2020-01-09 18:41:29 +0000 UTCCan you make one that says "don't send me to voicemail" ?
Belloya
2020-01-09 18:39:16 +0000 UTCWell if we are calling it the Bell tier I kind of have to be in.
Belloya
2020-01-09 18:37:14 +0000 UTCWould it be okay to convert the ringtones for a wireless doorbell, Gael?? :-)
Nix
2020-01-09 18:33:58 +0000 UTCIKR, only my mom calls instead of text. I can’t wait to assign her a new tone. 🤔
2020-01-09 18:30:20 +0000 UTCThe legs! Don’t bring up the legs! 🔥 🤤 🤣 💗
2020-01-09 18:27:33 +0000 UTCWell, since I'd already personalized my patronage to $10 between Spice and Sugar as I do really love the work you do, $1 more for weekly ringtones seems like a no brainer. Love ye to bits too. Off topic, it's raining for a change in California. A lovely sound to be sure, you'd love it.
Chelie
2020-01-09 18:20:49 +0000 UTCThat's right G. Do things your own way, always following your inner guidance. You can't go wrong, love!❤😊
2020-01-09 18:19:01 +0000 UTCNever use a ringtone, phone is always on vibrate. But I would love an audio for my alarm. To wake up to a lovely sound or phrase of G sounds pretty good. It does have to get me up, so nothing too sexy. No growls or I’ll never get out of my bed.
2020-01-09 18:18:32 +0000 UTCScruff is yummy. Thank you for the new tier. Cant wait to hear the ringtones!❤❤❤❤💋

2020-01-09 18:18:29 +0000 UTCOne ringtone a week?! Whose phone rings that much? 😂 😘😘

2020-01-09 18:12:55 +0000 UTCThat you've learned what's right for you and what's not makes the entire tier experiment worthwhile, Gael. We've learned a lot, too, I think, and that's also brilliant. Personally, I feel this change will be more inclusive somehow and that makes me smile. A lot. :-)
Nix
2020-01-09 18:12:38 +0000 UTCI knew you'll come up with something good for both you and us. And I am very pleased you come up with this fantastic idea Gael!!! You never fail to impress us with your smartness, kindness, care and love!!! Now I understand why you posted the "new tiers" post. It's a good way to get how we all feel about it. Who liked what more, how many... It's a very good strategy to downsize ideas to one or two and here it is 😊😊 I am looking forward to the ringtones!!!!! I'm just imagining myself receiving a call or text and then someone taps me on the shoulder and ask me "Is this Gaelforce? Are you part of Gaelandia?" Or simply someone might ask me "Who is this, can you send me that ringtone" 😊 It's all about how you market your product 👏👏👏 Okay, I talked a lot.. now.. IS IT SUNDAY YET!!!!!!!!!!!! About the beard, if no picture then it didn't happen.. and.. don't worry, I won't ask about.... ya know 😂😂 All the best Gael and lovelies 🌹❤ And we love ye and appreciate ye to bits ❤❤
2020-01-09 18:06:20 +0000 UTCThis sounds like a great idea! Can't wait for your voice to notify and remind me of every likl thing that's going on in my life. And thanks for the giggle and blush at the beginning of your post☺️

2020-01-09 18:00:30 +0000 UTCI’m only here to say I love you G and all lovelies! I have lots of love to share! 🥰❤️❤️❤️
2020-01-09 17:51:23 +0000 UTCHeehee, I upgraded 🙊🙊😸😸😸💖💖
2020-01-09 17:51:07 +0000 UTCthis is so much better and more fitting to your style, upgrade done and can't wait to see what evolves!
