Fediverse question alert 📢
One reason I love the fediverse is because I object to the paid attention-harvesting of commercial social and advertising networks. But marketing is important, and I used to love the adverts eg in old computer magazines. What's a good, ethical and effective way of marketing and advertising today, especially locally, that doesn't feed Google and Facebook?

SGE never made me feel like it was trying to be more than a search engine, or force a clunky chatbot dynamic on me.

A letter to Target on their decision to remove LGBTQ+ merchandise from stores.

Emailed to: Corporate.Responsibility@target.com

"As a Target customer, I'm very disappointed with Target's decision to remove "some items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month", per an Associated Press article, https://apnews.com/article/target-pride-lgbtq-4bc9de6339f86748bcb8a453d7b9acf0

As stated in an article by TheHill, "Roughly 80 percent of Americans say they favored laws that would protect LGBTQ+ people against discrimination in employment, public accommodations and housing. Around 41 percent of Americans say they strongly support nondiscrimination protections.", https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/equality/599240-support-for-lgbtq-rights-on-the-rise-poll/

So, for a hate filled 20% of the population, you've damaged your brand to potentially 80% of the country that supports LGBTQ+ rights. Not a smart marketing move on Target's part.

As a friend of many in the LGBTQ+ community, I strongly suggest that you reverse your decision."

I will buy you lunch and be forever grateful.

Miss Pardot is basically the MTG of email. Boldly uncooperative, recalcitrant, and UNHELPFUL. A strategic time suck. We're stuck with her for 1 more year and I can't wait to boot her to the curb.

If Miss Pardot was a real person, she'd be canceled.

Marketing is not one size fits all.

Stop acting like certain tactics, channels, or approaches will work for everyone.

Stop copying others just because it’s “what everyone does”.

Your audience, your product, your business, your customers - all of those are unique and will influence what kinds of marketing WILL work for you.

I feel like a companion site to fedi.tips (something like fedi.progress?) would be a way to coalesce everything that is happening in one place.

Written in non-technical, non-lengthy terms that can categorize and quickly define how the #Fediverse is growing and what is being done to make it grow and be more friendly.

It wouldn't be difficult to put a link preview to it right in the various Apps that connect us to the Fediverse either.

Okay I have a few thoughts seeing these:
- There are so many different styles that you've got in your work. It will confuse anybody following you if you're switching between them too much. I think having one account for personal and one for commissions could work but you have to pick only one style for commissions then. I think the cute animals are your strongest work, and easiest to sell too.
- if you do run two accounts you might want to start only with the commissions style. It's hard to grow two accounts at once, and I wouldn't really recommend it. I'm a marketing professional and I do this for a living yet I still get confused and
overwhelmed sometimes with my own accounts. It's even harder when you don't live and breathe marketing
- also if you are choosing to post mostly commission work / having an external- or commercial-facing account that doesn't mean you should only post commissions! You can do personal-ish work on there too as long as it's consistent in terms of style and quality. You want to show regular activity, you can also post works in progress, but make sure it's all the exact same level of quality (for final pieces) as what you'd sell
- for whatever accounts you choose, watch out for staying consistent too. I see in your personal works HUGE variation in terms of how polished or complex the work is. That's fine, I do the same with my drawings it's part of learning and practicing. But when you're trying to establish yourself as someone worth paying for - hide the less polished work.
- Your account is not your sketchbook.
Even if you are posting WiPs they have to be very aesthetically pleasing and professional-looking
- Really good artists can post casual sketches because their sketches look better than what you or I of most even advanced artists can draw in hours, you know. So don't measure yourself against that
Make sure when you're posting your work that you crop the images in the best way, maybe edit them up to make them brighter and pop more, etc.
- Each piece should look good enough to put in an application for an art school or a gallery or something. It's still your best work, presenting you in the best possible light

The film ‘Air’, which tells the story of Nike’s signing of Michael Jordan, isn’t actually about the great basketball player at all.

In fact, viewers never see a Jordan face and they only hear three words from the character.

In this way, “Air” becomes the story of how a struggling company created one of the most successful brands in the world on the back of a Black body, a tale as old as the nation itself.
