I’ve really enjoyed your podcast series! even though I haven’t got any immediate plans to start an online shop but it’s useful to know what’s out there and what the various options are. i’m certainly interested in any other series or individual podcasts you’d record on similar subjects! i was also wondering about the pros and cons of the various social media for promoting zines now i’ve just got an instagram account (and still finding it a bit weird and overwhelming to work with while it also seems more simple/limited than f.e. facebook as well as more friendly/supportive).
I’m glad you like the series. I hadn’t thought of comparing social media as well – that would be very interesting to dive into as well.
Now I’m actually considering maybe writing a bit in the next Same Heartbeats zine about my experience with using various social media for zine stuff… 🙂
That’s a great idea! It’s all valuable as examination.
