What’s On My To-Do List For My Online Businesses This Week?

Balancing Business and Creativity: My Week Ahead

I go over this week’s to-do list for my online business, music, website design, and video editing priorities. From shipping vintage collectibles to redesigning websites and creating video content.

Online Reselling Business - The Pop Culture Roadshow

First, I need to pack and ship orders from my online store, The Pop Culture Roadshow. I find and resell vintage toys, books, and games. I try listing at least five new items daily to make sure that the store remains active to draw customers in.

Website Redesigns

I'm also currently in the process of redesigning my websites. I'm revamping both my personal site here and my band’s website, Lorenzo's Music. Both sites are going to be in the style of old-school television screens and VHS Tapes. It's a look that I've been doing for my band's weekly music and talk live stream.

Video Production and Editing

I've also been filming and editing videos, including a behind-the-scenes look at how I created a remix for my album "Lorenzo's Remixes, Volume 2". I show my setup for the song in the recording software and go over how I recorded it, track by track.

So I'm just figuring out a way of prioritizing tasks and managing my time effectively. So I'm just trying to stay focused and not get sidetracked, even though I do keep getting distracted by my website redesigns.

I hope these to-do vlogs I've been making inspire you to get motivated to tackle your own to-do list as well!

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...

Rethinking Music Streaming: Should Listening Time = Payout Time?

🎧 Rethinking Music Streaming: Payouts and User-Centric Systems I recently posted a question online asking what one thing people would change about music streaming services, and I've received some really insightful responses! I know we all have issues with streaming services, and I wanted to talk about some of the suggestions I received.

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? When I started printing on Amazon KDP I also had that question. The reason I put the books together is I was just kind of doing it for myself. I could make a paperback version of my webcomic books and then I and my family could get a copy. It didn't even occur to me that I could actually start selling the book in public. I thought it was just print-on-demand and then maybe I could order one. But when I print a book on Amazon KDP I can also get up to 999 copies and sell it on my own! I was able to get my own copies from Amazon KDP sent to me. As the author, I can get them at printing cost . 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 -...
