#StoryNotStory

WordPress needs to have a parent page for drop-down menus on the website. So we needed a new Shop & Tip Jar page. Following advice I was given long ago, ‘artist, market thyself!’ Main page link: littlefears.co.uk/shop

“You’re right,” replied Fluffeh, “we have multiple shopping outlets and experiences for our fans.”

“Multiple!” gasped Masks. “I know we might get accused of marketing if you answer this out loud, but where can I visit these Fear filled shops and experiences?”

“You can buy our books from Amazon“, said Fluffeh.

“Cool,” said Masks.

“We sell original art and art prints on our Etsy store,” said Fluffeh.

“Brillo,” said Masks.

“Folk can buy our t-shirts from Threadless,” continued Fluffeh.

“Oh, right,” gasped Masks.

“We teach on Skillshare,” claimed Fluffeh.

“Awesome,” grinned Masks.

“You can also hire the illustrator for writing or design work,” noted Fluffeh.

“Excellent,” gurned Masks. “What work can he do?”

“Well,” pondered Fluffeh, “a lot of things, but obvious examples would be designing posters, creating unique logos, writing articles or creating book covers.”

“How many more ways can the illustrator say “said”?” asked Masks.

“I don’t think we should test that,” replied Fluffeh.

“I guess not,” laughed Masks. “But listen, if there was a way of personally supporting the illustrator, how would I do that?”

“You can visit his Patreon or Ko-Fiand drop a dollar or two into his tip jar,” said Fluffeh.

“Do you think anyone’s going to read all this?” asked Masks.

“Probably not,” sighed Fluffeh. “But you know the illustrator. He ain’t writing a normal shop and tip jar page.”

“Innit tho,” chuckled Masks.

Ko-FI

I now have a Ko-Fi page. The new coffee icon at the bottom of my posts takes you there. I had a PayPal button which was limited on how much I can earn without being a registered charity from tips. Also, the button isn’t straightforward to make. PayPal tips button is a kludge. So, enter Ko-Fi.

Ko-Fi allows people to give small one-off tips of $3. It’s a great idea over Patreon because not everyone wants to subscribe to donate dollars every month. Some folk just prefer one-off tips. I like the idea of Ko-Fi too. Buying someone a cuppa. That’s just nice.

On payment, Lisa was my first coffee buyer. The change landed in my PayPal account within minutes. It comes out $2.57 after fees. Thank you, Lisa!

If you’d like to buy me a cuppa, please do click the link below, and I take PG tips with a little bit of cows milk.
