How do I promote a self published comic on Amazon. I get a tip from a romance author.

How are you advertising your books on Amazon?

screenshot of two people talking on video

I ask Romance author KG Fletcher on my Art Podcast

Me: How are you doing the advertising (for your books). I know you said you were doing Amazon advertising...

Me: It's hard to make it something that doesn't cost a lot and actually gets clicks (that lead to sales).

"My biggest tip" for Amazon authors

KG responded by telling me:

KG Fletcher: So here is my biggest tip.

KG Fletcher: Any author that's looking to dabble in (Amazon) ads, you gotta take Bryan Cohen's Five-Day Amazon Ad Challenge. It's free.

KG Fletcher: He does it every quarter and it was a game-changer for me.

I was curious so I asked KG how many ads they were making to advertise their books.

KG Fletcher: I have over 200 amazon ads running right now.

Me: Oh wow! Impressive.

I wondered how much it costs to run that many ads for their books on Amazon.

KG Fletcher: And I pay less than $100 a month (for ads).

KG told me they make that money back plus much more in sales for their books.

I actually took Bryan Cohen's Amazon ad challenge after this conversation and I have to admit it did make a big difference for my comic books on Amazon KDP.

Artwork for the original Candy Land game by Milton Bradley from 1955.

I have a vintage Candy Land game from 1955 by Milton Bradley and I was about to sell it so I thought I would add it to my personal art history course concept I've been doing . I'm going to try and see if I can find out how this game was created, designed and why? Here is what I found out about this game https://candy-land.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land_Wiki Candy Land is a board game about children exploring a world made out of candy and other sweets that originally came out in 1949. In every version of the game, there are a group of children that go through Candy Land. In the earliest versions of the game, it was a realistically drawn boy and girl. Drawing of the Candy Land kids I did on my phone ☝ https://board-games-galore.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land The game was designed in 1948 by Eleanor Abbott , while she was recovering from polio in San Diego, California. It's rumored that Eleanor also did the original artwork but I didn't find anything that

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. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example. Start with the original Gmail address Add a "+" after the email name Where it says "tom" on the address I can put a "+" after that. Add a "+" after the email name After that "+" I ca

Art Inspiration: Digging on old Scooby-Doo cartoon background artwork

Can we all just take a second to appreciate the background art of the 1969 Scooby-Doo cartoons ? Easily the most inspirational artwork from my childhood right here. I think this scene from the cartoon is what inspired my recent nostalgia for the Money Island computer game I wrote about in my webcomic . Who did these background paintings? I wrote a post about the artist Walter Peregoy who did the background artwork for the series over on my pop-culture roadshow blog . Some of the things I learned about the artist He had a modernist 50s style Designed the 101 dalmatians cartoon look Was an artist for one of the Liquid Television cartoons on MTV Go here to see more...
