He soon realized the importance of cross-promotion between social media channels. By using Facebook to launch a teaser trailer and redirecting his viewers to YouTube, Bad Time Stories started to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buyrealfollows.com\/youtube-services\/buy-youtube-views\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gain significantly higher views<\/a>, impressions, and engagements. He notes that the importance of probing out new ways to interact with an audience. Each artist is different, as is each viewer, so it is crucial to set up a trial-and-error phase that allows for mistakes here and there on the way towards discovering how to make impactful results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt all comes with hard work and sacrifice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though social media is, more often than not, great for creators such as animators, it can sometimes be hindering. While it allows creators to reach wider audiences,&nbsp; algorithms sometimes can restrict people from reaching further and further. Artists are constantly evolving with social media to latch onto the latest trends, so sometimes it can seem too fast-paced to keep up with the ongoing updates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Animation Desk Animator livestream bad time stories\" class=\"wp-image-7370\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?resize=1080%2C607&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?resize=1280%2C720&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?resize=980%2C551&amp;ssl=1 980w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?resize=480%2C270&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?w=1680&amp;ssl=1 1680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%BA%8A%E7%B7%A8%E6%88%BF%E9%96%93.png?w=2520&amp;ssl=1 2520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Illustration work by Bad Time Stories<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The New Revenue Stream<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mydukaan.io\/blog\/small-scale-business-ideas\/\">Creating a successful small business<\/a> around animation requires one to develop a steady revenue stream to sustain the business. Bad Time Stories shares that for him, this comes in the form of teaching online animation courses. This doesn&#8217;t happen overnight. It came about after conducting research and preparing the lessons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He started with a marketing survey to figure out his target audience and exactly what they\u2019re looking for in animation lessons. He found that many of them were students typically looking for time to learn within the scattered availability they have in between their busy class schedule. After finding out the \u201cwho\u201d and the \u201cwhen,\u201d he knew he needed to coordinate exactly \u201cwhat\u201d he would be teaching. For Bad Time Stories, this was focused on a module-by-module approach, teaching only one subject per module and making sure that everyone was able to take something away from a specific lesson taught on a specific subject.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad Time Stories also notes that as the entrepreneur in this scenario, it&#8217;s imperative to do a lot of self-promotion. He found it difficult to gain the attention of new students based on the promotion techniques of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emailvendorselection.com\/best-online-course-platforms\/\">online course platform<\/a> providers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creation vs. Commercialization&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many artists and animators find themselves struggling between balancing pure art creation with commercial art and design. Artists often create because it\u2019s their passion and they find themselves being quite good at it, but they also are human beings who need to make a living. Bad Time Stories suggests having a clear distinction between the two so you can focus on a life that is both liveable as an entrepreneur and enjoyable as a creative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Better yet, he says it\u2019s important to also try your best to find ways to incorporate the two together. He looks to pieces such as 2019\u2019s <em>Parasite, <\/em>by Bong Joon-ho, and how they blend together millions from the box office with carefully crafted artistic themes that confound poetic reflections of society. It\u2019s not easy, but the general idea is something he, as well as many other animators, strive for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%B0%8F%E9%9B%9E%E6%B1%81_05.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.kdanmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/\u5c0f\u96de\u6c41_05.png?fit=1024%2C999&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7358\" width=\"256\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%B0%8F%E9%9B%9E%E6%B1%81_05.png?w=1359&amp;ssl=1 1359w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%B0%8F%E9%9B%9E%E6%B1%81_05.png?resize=300%2C293&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%B0%8F%E9%9B%9E%E6%B1%81_05.png?resize=1024%2C999&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%B0%8F%E9%9B%9E%E6%B1%81_05.png?resize=768%2C749&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%B0%8F%E9%9B%9E%E6%B1%81_05.png?resize=1080%2C1054&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%B0%8F%E9%9B%9E%E6%B1%81_05.png?resize=1280%2C1249&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%B0%8F%E9%9B%9E%E6%B1%81_05.png?resize=980%2C956&amp;ssl=1 980w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/%E5%B0%8F%E9%9B%9E%E6%B1%81_05.png?resize=480%2C468&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 85vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Character Design, Bad Time Stories<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In Conclusion&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point you are probably wondering what Bad Time Stories\u2019 creations look like, so we would like to invite you to check out his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCaVICnDUyoEnGvk0W38Rtyg\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube Channel<\/a>.
