Lets talk about REDBUBBLE By Miss K L Slomczynski

 From 1999-2018 I use to work full time in the Art and Media Indusrty.

So if I did this then why do very few people know about me or my work?

When you are asked do you about your eamoyment status the Govement will set what they call a criteria for what they class diffrent types of employement being and also your rights.

Alot of this inforamtion can be found by using the GovUk website.

https://www.gov.uk/

Now one of the area that I use to work in was teaching, Art and Media.

So one of the questions a lot of students would ask me or would be asked was, "Who will you sell your art work?"

So I looked into ways to help and to surport my students into doing this.

One of the ways that a lot of work is sold today is degitial and theirfore on line.

BUt when looking at selling your art work their are a lot of pros and cons once you post an image on social media whether it is to promote a one off piece of art work or something that can be mass-produced.

So I looked into Redbubble for my students and have encluded the link below.

https://www.redbubble.com/

Before looking at selling or buying form Redbubble I would advise that you look at the whole site incliding their terms and contitions when it come to copy right law.

What is Coppy Right?

Copyright law is a legal framework that grants exclusive rights to creators of original works, allowing them to control the reproduction, distribution, and derivative use of their creations. In the United States, copyright law aims to promote art and culture by providing authors the rights to make and sell copies of their works, create derivative works, and publicly perform or display their works. Essentially, copyright protects the intellectual property of creators, ensuring they can benefit from their work.

Also who they will pay you if you areable to sell any of your art work.

If you are able to sell your art work this way, weldone; I use Redbubble like most online art selling sights to help promote myslef and to keep my art work porfoilio up to date and accessable to people all over the world.

I would also like to say that over the eatrs year I have had people steal my work and sell it pretending it is theirs.  Is is really upsetting due to them getting paid and not me.

So when you work in any industry it is important to know what your rights are and how to protect yourself as much as you can.

KABFA DESIGNS MadeMe By Miss K L Slomczynski

 https://mademe.co.uk/shop/kabfa-designs/

With so many platforms on social media now it can be a really challange to sort out the wheat from the chaff.

Shoping on line or even running a bussiness is not like running a hight street shop.

Both have to deal with keeoing up with the local treads and having that unique selling point to get the attention of the customer to say.

Welcome.

Thank you from you shopping with me.

Thank you for using our services.

So with this in mind I have used a number of difftent online social media sights to see if they could work for me or anyone in the futre.

Unlike retail, that I have worked in the past, it is not about just changin the window and cleaning the shelves; or putting the sales items buy the till.

When trying to sell or promote yourself on line it is a diffrent ball game altogether.

With a picture still painint a 100 words.

It is also about knowing how to have good IT and English skills.

These are things that over time that can be learned or that you can pay some one to do for you.

But the time frame in order to get a sale is not just waiting around for pay day or hoping that people perorder or prebook.

It is about geting them to buy now!.

For years I hated to shop on line.  I loved being able to go to town, shop and then go for something to eat and pay that I did not need to buy the next size up in the dress I just purchased.

But the pet hate of shopping is the ling lines at the till, not having anything in your size, the carryign of bags and car parking.

So being able to just shop on line and have it delivered just buy setting at home not matter what time of day is a plus.

So why do people still love to shop in person?

For me it is the opertunity to just get out of the house and see the really world espically have covid 19 when you did not have a choice but to stay in.

So one of the ways I promote myslef and keep my artwork up to date is by using MadeMe

So why not take a look and see if it is the right place for you to shop online to.

Pure Warrior Maiden Blog By Miss K LSlomczynski

 Please click on the image on my blaod and it will redirect you to my blog called "Pur Warrior Maiden." This covers more about my life when I use to model full full timefrom the age of 16-40.

Now that I am a full time mum, I work more behind the camera and would like to do more for this in the futre.

I am more than happy to model again for charity events, or to keep my online portfolio up to date and fresh.

The last shoot that I did was for myself and was in Decmber 2024.

I have not talked about this much yet, I am looking at doing so later in the year.

Not on the hight street By Miss K L Slomczynski

 Sadly again another shop on the hight streeet in my own town will be closing it doors by April 2025.

https://www.visitnorthernwarwickshire.com/nuneaton/

With this happening all over the UK, how can any bussiness stop this for happening and to beable to have their cake and eat it?

At this moment in time the only shopes in Nuneaton that still apear to be open are those that offer a more personal service to the general public.  

The question is how many nail salons and Turkish Barbara's can one town be curstainable for?

The next sercive are eateries and any where that sells food.  Most of these are now offering services though apps like "Just Eat" and "Deilveroo."

Then we have the big reatil outlets, and franchise companies that are also being axed on the high street in places that are not making sales and focusing more on; online sales to make sales.

So what is the futre for the hight stree in samll town like Athersone that is only a stone throw way from Nuneaton?

https://touristplaces.guide/top-10-places-to-visit-in-atherstone-nature-adventure-and-history/

Then Nuneaton where I live too?

IF they are failing, why?

What unique selling point can they offer in the future?
