To Do: Vintage Sales, Music Streams, and Comics

Navigating the multiple tasks I have for my creative ventures this week. I go through what needs to be done for my vintage reselling business, webcomics, and my band, Lorenzo's Music.

In this video vlog, I begin by reviewing what I accomplished from my tasks last week and then setting my goals for this week. I'm going to mark them as I go along.

✅ = Done

⏲ = Still waiting

Last week I had issues with my laptop battery that kept me from finishing some tasks. So there was that.

Vintage Reselling Business - The Pop Culture Roadshow

With a vintage reselling business to run, the first order of business is to pack orders from weekend sales on platforms like eBay and Mercari.

I need to edit the 'What Sold' video I couldn't do last week for my Pop Culture roadshow YouTube channel.

✅ Pack orders

✅ List new items (See the latest items in my eBay store here)

✅ Edit and post a new "What sold" video (Watch my vintage reselling video here)

Band - Lorenzo's Music

We recorded a new live music video for our song "Blue water friction" that needs to be edited and posted. I also need to create some promotional reels and shorts for that. And in keeping with our model of releasing a new song every 45 days I have to submit the next song we've done to our distribution service. Plus, we also have a weekly live music stream we do every Wednesday. So I need to write the show outline for that.

✅ Set up live music stream for the week (Watch the live music stream here)

✅ Edit and upload music video for the song "Blue water friction" (Watch the music video here)

⏲ Submit a new song for distribution

Webcomic - Bobert and the Monster

I have a new webcomic series, 'Bobert and the Monster,' available on Comixology. I need to finish inking the page I couldn't do last week and also live stream the drawing process on YouTube.

✅ Finish inking new comic page (See the inked page here)

✅ live drawing stream (Watch my live drawing stream here)

I'm also still working on a lead magnet to build up my email list. I came up with an idea for a pdf that talks about how I create and publish my webcomics. Now I just need to set up a landing page for the download.

Happy Halloween!

Vocal ideas.

Up until that point I really liked how it was going. It kinda blocked the whole thing. I'll figure something out.
