2022/05/15

In this episode of the podcast, I talk with writer Paul Leonard Williams. Paul has written a series of detective novels based on his central character Gideon Jones. But as we talk I find out that the idea for these stories started in high school but he was talked out of trying to be a writer by his parents. So for many years he actually went into the field of martial arts before deciding to reconnect with his original passion to be a writer later in life. Links Paul Leonard Williams Website

This is the last in a 3 part series I've been doing about publishing my webcomics as print-on-demand books on Amazon.

Tom Ray"s Art Podcast ·

2021/12/26

In the previous episode of the podcast, I talked about how I used Facebook ads to find people that might be interested in the things I make. I wanted to tell a story this time about something I tried to find people to read my autobiographical webcomic I draw using Google ads that ended up not costing that much. It started with promoting a physical book I made of the webcomic and then pivoted into a separate website that people could flip through to read it. Podcast website -

This week I was unable to book an artist in time for the podcast. So I thought I would try something different. I've been working on ads to promote the podcast and some of the art and music I create too. So I thought I would share how I've been using Facebook ads up until now to promote what I do. Plus I wanted to share a new type of ad style for me that I've really been happy with. I talk about my objectives for these ads, the interests I use to find the audience, and the type of ad sets that
