  1. Panoramic Worlds has been fast-tracked but despite a lot of work is not yet released. I’d expect it to be available by the end of April 2021 though. See: PanoramicWorlds.com <\/a><\/li>
  2. A massive and sustained ad campaign is moving forward. It includes a few relatively niche banner-ad networks, mainly an additional $40+ ad spend on Comic Ad Network over the next 60 days, which seems to be a natural successor to the defunct “Project Wonderful” in that I’m optimizing my ad spend well enough to get targeted clicks to Etsy, Itch.IO, etc, for about 20-25% the cost that would be involved in a typical FB\/Twitter\/Google ad campaign of similar effectiveness. I won’t be at all surprised if there are well over a thousand real people who show up to my online venues and sites in that timeframe. This is combined with online forum activity [signature banners and links] and YouTube and social media group comments. Such activity is proving very effective at finding interested [relevant] people who actually want the types of items I have to sell. <\/li>
  3. I’ve been posting more items on Etsy and that’s going to expand further over the second half of April. For example, these artworks that have begun gaining a bit of attention:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"
    A floral artwork priced at under $10. 12″ by 16″, original and handmade.

    <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"
    Paris street scene, $15 on Etsy. 18″ by 24″ original acrylic, on stretched canvas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, let’s note that I’ve done a ton of mTurk work over the course of this year so far. As in, $4-5 per hour worked, and a total amount of over $130 so far in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This -among other improvements – has helped stabilize things and I’m optimistic that there won’t be any further future issues with domains going down, or Etsy shop closures, due to lag in paying related bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Watch for some cool things to happen over the rest of 2021!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
