Rambles that are fluffy, by fluffy
After years of constantly lowering my prices, trying to get a vanishingly-small amount of sales on things I care about, I’ve decided to raise everything and make it uniform, across all of my music storefronts, namely:
Here’s my pricing strategy and rationale.
I finally got around to making a better store page. It’s still not great but it’s better than just linking to either my Threadless or Storenvy or whatever, and I’ll be able to backfill a bunch more of my items into it eventually.
There’s a lot of stuff I’d like to change of course, but this at least gives me a hook to setting up my own PayPal/Stripe/etc. cart as well.
Anyway I’m glad that Publ is in a state where it’s gotten easier and easier for me to make new sites from scratch with it. And I also released a new version of Publ with some shiny new features.
Yay! This is the first year I’ve made it into GeekGirlCon as a solo vendor (last time was part of the Seattle Indies megabooth which ended up being a one-time thing for Reasons). I’ll be primarily selling my comics, but I’ll also have some of my albums present (as both CDs and download cards) and I’m looking into getting some enamel pins and art prints made as well.
For pins I’ll just be starting simple with three designs: transgender heart, asexual heart, and Werner’s head. For art prints I’m not sure what to make; I have a bunch of my own designs I could do, and I should also probably polish up some fanart since that generally is what attracts people to a booth in the first place.
I also have plenty of copies of Unity (books 1 and 2) but I guess I should print up more copies of Lewi since I have only like 20 of those.
So, I’ve been trying to find some nice dress shoes. I have pretty big feet for someone of my height and gender, so local shoe stores never actually have anything in my size in a style that I like. So, for this I still use Amazon, since I still have Prime for the next month or so anyway. (I do not plan on renewing after this year.)
One thing that Amazon keeps on pushing is Prime Wardrobe (affiliate link), where they heavily advertise that with a Prime membership you can now try-before-you-buy and have 7 days to decide which things to keep. Which is already a bit silly because with normal Prime you already have something like 30 days to return a thing you don’t want.
