Fifteen years ago I made my living selling ecommerce tools and creating tutorials on how to sell stuff on the internet with online marketing. <\/p>\n
Several years ago I switched gears and turned my focus to 2D game development and making game tutorials.<\/p>\n
A year and a half ago when I was diagnosed with cancer I pivoted and started poking at some things I loved, but never made time to do.<\/p>\n
Six months ago I watched the documentary Muppet Guys Talking<\/a> and felt SO homesick that I switched gears again and decided to focus on performing — one of the things I loved but had stopped doing. I even stopped all game development at that time, including stopping work on a new game development course I was ready to record.<\/p>\n The problem with a focus on performing right now is the whole pandemic thing — while there are people doing “Zoom shows” it’s been about 3 decades since I’ve done a solo show, and 2 decades since I’ve performed community theater and I don’t want to get my feet wet with a remote show. Too much new all at once.<\/p>\n So I’ve been writing scripts for different acts and coming up with ideas that I can perform once people start getting together again, and in playing around with different things, I came up with a product that I’m going to be selling online (it’s my first non-digital product). This means I need to put on my marketing hat once again.<\/p>\n This product — let’s just call it LSD since those are the initials — was spawned after reading a book and I’ve contacted the author and he’s interested in doing a deal. Don’t have details of what the deal will be, but he’s getting ready to do a rewrite of his book and suggested that maybe we could sell his book and my LSD together, etc. It’s something that’s in the works, anyway.<\/p>\n However, I’m also planning on selling LSD on my site and so I’ve been writing sales copy, putting together materials for a launch, writing email sequences, and so on. Seems like no matter how much you do, there’s always more to be done. <\/p>\n I’ll post something in the next day or so about LSD and I’ll even include some pictures. It’s a product that many people who know me wouldn’t expect me to sell, but I’ll give you my rational. (It’s like if a vegan was selling beef jerky…)<\/p>\n Anyway, the whole point of this post was that I’m going to be doing a bunch of marketing. <\/p>\n Again. <\/p>\n I’m actually looking forward to stretching those muscles again, and kind of excited to see if I can do the things necessary to get LSD out of the gate and making sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fifteen years ago I made my living selling ecommerce tools and creating tutorials on how to sell stuff on the internet with online marketing.
