New Zine – How To Promote Your Work Without Social Media

I have a new zine in my Ko-fi shop! It’s called “How to Promote Your Work Without Social Media: A Guide for the New Luddite.”

It’s actually been out for over a week. And it’s now my best-selling thing in my Ko-fi shop!

I shouldn’t be surprised. When I took the print-version of this to Detroit Zine Fest, I sold out of copies halfway through the show.

It’s available on a sliding scale of price. That means you can leave a tip of your choice, or just get it for free.

Want to know what’s in it? Well, I cover tips that have worked for me for the last decade. This includes newsletters, a blog, and more.

So be sure to check it out now!

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!

You. Are. Awesome.

Find Me At Awesome Con!

As you’re reading this, I’m on my way to Awesome Con! It’s happening March 8-10, 2024 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Find me sharing table J-05 with my buddy Ben Wright-Heuman!

I have a ton of new mini-prints to showcase at Awesome Con, including some exclusives! Here are some sneak peeks at what I’m bringing with me…

fyra'rai from exandria unlimited has flaming red hair, tan skin, and glowing tattoos. She poses, ready for action.
karlach from baldur's gate 3 flexes her bicep while wearing a sleeveless teal dress. She smiles and winks
spike spiegel leans and smokes a cigarette with a rogueish smile.
zahra the tiefling warlock from Legend of Vox Machina smirks knowingly at the viewer, with green energy floating by one open hand.

Can’t make it? No worries – my Ko-fi shop will be open! Plus you can catch up on my YouTube channel, as well as my webcomics: The Legend of Jamie Roberts, New Punk Signal, and Vanita and the Demon King. That last one will have regular updates coming back March 24! Catch new pages on my email newsletter.

That’s all for now. See you at Awesome Con! And if you’re outside of DC, stay tuned, and thanks for reading!

You. Are. Awesome.

Keychains and Select Pins on Sale Now Until Sept 30

Good news! Keychains and select pins are on sale in my Ko-Fi shop, from now until Sept 30, 2023!

Right now, I have no plans to do any more conventions for the rest of 2023. But I’m still sitting on a lot of keychains and pins – so I’m marking them down!

Use the code CHAINS to get 15% off these keychains and choice pins. (Alternatively, by using this link the discount is automatically applied).

Here’s a small selection of what’s on sale!

a picture of two keychains, both identical. They show an arm flexing and a roller skate with pink wheels. Text and stars decorate both, saying "Macho Mujeres Roller Derby"
a pale hand with long fingers holds a keychain. The keychain is a baby dragon painted in the colors of the Philadelphia LGBTQ+ Pride flag.
a pale hand holds a holographic keychain. It depicts a biblically accurate cat angel.

Be sure to use the code CHAINS to get 15% off these keychains and select pins. They’re in my ko-fi shop under “misc” as a category.

You have until September 30, 2023, to get these at this discount!

Fun fact: folks on my email newsletter got this discount first before you did. If you want early bird discount codes, you can sign up for free here.

That’s all for now. Thank you for your support!

For the Friends and Family on Facebook…

This post is for friends and family who are on Facebook.

First of all: WHY?

Second of all: you may have noticed posts coming from my account. That is, in fact, me. I’ve been sharing links to my Ko-fi shop stuff.

If you’re still on Facebook – for some god-forsaken reason – I’m going to keep sharing links from outside platforms, like Ko-Fi, KickStarter, and my webcomics and blogs.

That said, DO NOT expect me to reply to any comments you leave on those posts.

If you have feedback for me, you’re more than welcome to comment here on this blog…or email me, at kelci@kelcidcrawford.com.

I’m choosing how I use Facebook, and here’s what I’ve decided on:
  1. I’m not downloading the app.
  2. I’m ONLY using the web browser version.
  3. I’m ONLY using Facebook to post links to my work on my personal profile.
  4. I will check notifications ONLY once every few days or so.

I refuse to scroll on the site, I refuse to look at other people’s posts, and I refuse to post pictures there. I will not start a separate page for my business, because one of the reasons I LEFT Facebook years ago was because Facebook stopped supporting small businesses.

Also – DO NOT TAG ME IN ANYTHING ON FACEBOOK. Tagging people is a form of data and I want my data to be kept to a minimum on that platform.

So why am I even posting on Facebook again?

Because a lot of friends and family – FOR SOME REASON – continue to use it, and I want them to know I’m alive and working.

I’m also low-key hoping that those friends and family will choose to support my work if they see I’m still at it.

Still, the best place to find me online is here on this blog, or on my webcomic sites, like The Legend of Jamie Roberts, Vanita and the Demon King, or Validation on Webtoons. (More Webtoons will be coming soon, by the way.)

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!

You. Are. Awesome.
