how did you start advertising your comms?

I just started posting about it mostly! It is hard to get traction at first but I started studying how other people advertise theirs, who is successful and what I like about their approach, etc.

I found that the best way to catch people’s attention is having a pretty, attention grabbing, and concise sheet with all the information. I include pricing, examples, rules, and payment methods. I also find that limiting the number of comm slots open is good for both generating interest(scarcity) and my own mental health(obvi can’t have too many in the queue at one time).

Having payment methods set up beforehand is also important; I use paypal, ko-fi, and venmo and have had people wanting to use all 3! Ko-fi has been the most popular because I think fandom people are generally used to using it. Might incorporate Zelle in the future if people want it, just cause I have it set up and use it with my friends already. It’s worth noting that in any payment method you will use, you and your patrons full legal names will be visible to each other, so be prepared for that.

I always am trying to improve my approach though, and I think next steps are gonna be having a carrd with a queue so people can look at where the progress of their piece is without having to bug me for an update(to be clear I don’t mind when people want an update at all, but I know not everyone wants to be constantly asking). AND if anyone who has or hasn’t commissioned me has any feedback on my approach, I’d love to hear it 🙏

Generally the most important step is to just go for it and just put yourself out there, even if you don’t feel ready. You will never feel ready, and there’s always gonna be stuff you’ll learn along the way, so you just have to embrace it. One thing that helps me is always being open to feedback, and I’ve gotten plenty of good advice from friends and patrons.

Feel free to hit me up if you have any more specific questions too!! 💖

Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:

Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.

(You can hear it here)

In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.

getting up on my soapbox for a moment. i find it laughable that nearly every time someone says they don’t like rap they cite hamilton and k-pop as the only rap they can tolerate. because everything else is just so violent and full of blatant consumerism. first off. so is k-pop. secondly. idk how to tell you the founding fathers were some of the most violent people around (coming from a black american descentant of slaves who is most likely related to thomas jefferson. shouldn’t have to explain the relevance here). thirdly. hamilton and k-pop both reference and interpolate rap. so idk what to tell you babes. you do like rap. you just don’t like black people. say it with your full chest next time.

fine, me too.
