If I write a blog about…

…my latest YouTube video about my RedBubble store and then post it on my Facebook page, I’m killing 4 birds with 1 stone…of course I could always add the original painting the video is about to my Bluethumb shop and make it 5 birds, share the lot to Twitter (6 birds) and Instagram (7 birds)…(9 birds if I include my alt Leonardo Bogato accounts)…or not even share this to there but just include the links to those accounts here (see below), or sneak a link in the text - see here and here

I’m feeling pretty social media savvy right now…😎

So…now that I’ve worked all of this social media bird-killing-magic out, I can go back to painting birds instead of trying to kill them. 😊

Note: “Definition of 'to kill two birds with one stone' - If you say that doing something will kill two birds with one stone, you mean that it will enable you to achieve two things that you want to achieve, rather than just one.”
sincerely,
Cat.

Print on demand...

…is an order fulfillment method where items are printed on various products, like tshirts snd mugs, as soon as an order is made by the customer. POD is a way for artists to generate passive income from their work, investing only their time (no monetary outlay required), in setting up and maintaining their store.
I spent the best part of the last few days working on my redbubble store, culling and tweaking some of my already uploaded work to fit the new products, and adding a few more works. I really like the look of some of the printed wall art options, and I checked a few reviews to see what buyers had to say about them, most are favourable.
Different tutorials about setting up shop tell different things about how to use e-commerce print-on-demand stores - some say “have a select few designs and products so you don’t overwhelm customers” while others say “have a lot of designs use all of the products and upload everyday to encourage traffic to the store.”
I guess I’ll go with something in between 😊 🥳
