A Rudolph book illustrated by Richard Scarry? And other vintage items sold - Tom Ray's Day 2100409

Another look at some of the retro/vintage items I sold online including puzzles, an ET VHS tape and some illustrated children's books including a version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer that was illustrated by Richard Scarry.

Plus, at the end of the video, my daily autobiographical webcomic.

This is a video of my daily life since I decided to sell collectibles and pop-culture items I collect on eBay to help support my art career instead of taking on freelance work.

More vintage pop-culture items available in my eBay Store https://ebay.to/2vMYStC

Here are Some illustrations by Richard Scarry from the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer book.

How I use one Gmail address for multiple Soundcloud accounts

Do you know the Gmail "+" trick to use one email for multiple accounts on one service? Here's a little trick I use that works for any service.  I talked about this on the podcast episode I did with artist Mortimur K . In this case, let's say I used up all the uploads I have for my free Soundcloud account . With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again.  Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address.

Can I Buy And Resell Copies Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP?

There are two questions that I get asked about publishing my webcomic books on Amazon KDP . 1 - Can I Order A Print Copy Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP?

I could make a paperback version of my webcomic books and then I and my family could get a copy.

So they're at a discounted price. The option to order author copies is right in the KDP publishing setup.  The button is next to the book in KDP. 👇 The other question I get about publishing my book on Amazon KDP... 2 - Can I Sell My A
