Hello, everybody. Welcome to Three Point Perspective. The podcast about illustration, how to do it,

how to make a living at it, and how to make an impact in the world with your art. I'm Jake Parker.

I'm Lee White. And I'm Will Terry. And all three of us are professional illustrators. We've all

worked for all the major publishers in the business. Together we've somewhere around 75 children's books and we've all taught illustration at university art programs.

That is correct. Each week we come at you guys with different illustrator interviews or questions from people just like yourself.

Sometimes we agree, sometimes we argue argue that each time you learn something,

brand spanking new. Brand spanking new. I got to tell you guys something that's, uh, I've been trying

to do over the last couple weeks and about, and I want to tell you the results. And what that is,

is I delivered all of my robots book for the books for the Kickstarter,

right?

And I ordered, I want to say, four or 500 extra copies to sell in my shop.

And I've got about that many leftover from the spaceships book as well.

And what has been essentially every day, I didn't do it this morning because we're doing the

podcast.

I'll probably do it after we're done here.

But every morning, I just take a clip like a screenshot from the PDF of those books of one of the robots or one of

the spaceships. And I posted on Instagram with a little thing that says, here's my book.

And then I also posted on Twitter. Same sort of thing. I format a little bit, one for Instagram, one for Twitter,

because Twitter prefers, Instagram prefers square images, Twitter prefers the, the, uh,

something a little bit, either vertical or horizontal, whatever. And what I'm seeing is,

if I post about it, sales come in.

I'll sell one or two or three books.
