Yesterday’s post about the artist/illustrator J.C. Leyendecker ended up inspiring what was to become one of my most productive days in recent history.

It was such a good day creatively and professionally that I decided to celebrate today by launching a HAPPY PRIDE SALE: Through Sunday, get 20% off everything in our Main Shop…including Pride merch!

Here’s a quick rundown of what all I got up to that has me so celebratory:

  1. Based on the newsletter post, I ended up making a new montage featuring of some of my favorite Leyendecker art. These types of videos haven’t done so well for us in the past, but I felt compelled. This one already has over 4K views…on our four-day-old SECOND/TOO CHANNEL.

  2. After posting that video and doing some shop research, I needed time to doodle and noodle. So I finished ANOTHER PHOTOMONTAGE I’ve been working on for a while. I was optimistic it would do at least okay on our new channel. With over 8K views in under 24 hours, I think it’s safe to say it’s done better than just okay.

Both of these are unexpected receptions, especially since I’m technically on a forced ā€œbreakā€ from our main, monetized channel.

If YouTube’s Al/Algorithm continues showing this kind of love, we might have two monetized channels…sooner rather than later.

Dreams can come true, even for small creators like myself.

Speaking of dreams coming true, a fellow Fourthwall shop owner showed me how to add one of the only features the platform doesn’t (currently) offer: Search.

  1. Long, nerdy story short: COLLIDE PRESS SHOP is now searchable!

It was exactly easy, but it wasn’t exactly brain surgery either. In the process, I got to put on my thinking cap and exercise my inner Tim ā€œMake It Workā€ Gunn.

So…in celebration of Pride, Search, AND YouTube: 20% OFF EVERYTHING!

Whether it’s before, during, and after Pride, we are always grateful to those who choose to spend their LGBTQ (and Ally) dollars with independent, small businesses. Especially LGBTQ-owned businesses, including (but not limited to) ours.

Thanks for reading!
Clint

On the subject of growing, ROBIN TAYLOR does a beautiful job (as always) of illustrating (and narrating) how slow growth can be hard work but so rewarding.
