I've been lurkin for all these threads and have a couple questions, but wish to pay the fee first:

Attached was my rank a few days ago. It's dropped a few points since.
I never hit rising stars. I've just been consistently uploading three times a week.
I just breached 1k followers a month ago.
My conversion rate for follower to patreon is 3%. I blame me waiting until 100+ch before starting patreon, but it's slowly been increasing.
I've been uploading for over a year. It's just plain fantasy/slice of life slop.
My ads have slowly been dropping in %s. Latest was 2.2% with half decent follower count. I run one every two months.
I wish RR had its own monetization system. The reason being is all my patrons basically stop commenting/reading the story on RR after subbing. Not a problem because money>comments but I'm now down to roughly 10 comments a chapter because so many have swapped to patrons. Makes me sad.

Thus my questions...

For anyone who has finished a story (or started a second while first was ongoing) how was your conversion rate? I ran a test not too long ago and uploaded a short story style thing and it got nearly 100 followers within 30 days, and my unique follower count only went up by 25. Would be very interesting in hearing similar attempts and their outcomes.

Other question is just what are your average view on your new chapters the first couple days from upload. I average 250. I think roughly 50 avg views on every chapter are bots personally, would like to know if others feel the same.
