so I'm always paying attention to the comments you all leave on my videos. And despite the fact that I try to be super meticulous when talking about my release strategy, there's no one-size-fits-all for how you promote your song. You really need to build promotions around your strings, and what works in each music genre, and for that matter, for each artist, is always different. But by an overwhelming demand, I keep hearing that you want to know exactly what to post each day to tell stories around your music and post to social media. So in this video, I'm going to give you a plan with some theory on how I would promote my joke-ban incel hypey's new hit song, Beer Pong with Myself, and I will show you what I would post each day of the single promotion to be as effective as possible so you can draw from this and learn how to promote yourself. Hi, I'm Jesse Cannon, a music marketing nerd who's teaching musicians how to grow their fanbase from 0 to 10,000 fans, and this is Muse Formation. So before we get started, let me start with my normal caveats. You're going to enjoy this video and get way more from it if you watch the playlist that has my method for how to release music so you get as many fans as possible, and this playlist has a ton of tips on what we're going to discuss that makes all this promotion work a lot better. It will be linked at the end of this video if you do just want to click it then. Okay, so let's make sure we got what we need before we ever start promoting. First and most importantly, I would suggest that you have the next two songs you're going to promote, produced, mixed, and mastered, and that you have single screen videos, lyric videos, and music videos already for those next two, in addition to the one we're about to be promoting. For everyone who thinks this is unrealistic, this video is exactly for you. This is because on this channel, we're always talking about how consistent sustained promotion is one of the main keys to promoting your music, and the way the consistent part of that usually fails is that you don't have a ton of content already made so that you're ahead when things go wrong. Truly, this is the most important factor of what we're about to do.  Hopefully once you get out of bed from the heartbreak, you can stay on track with your music promotions because you were so prepared in advance and had all this content already done to make all of your promotions super easy and so you can react to the flood of comments you're getting.  Since so much of what we are doing also is that people give opportunities to people who are making big consistent moves. So let's say you have the following ready. Your next song mastered the single screen video, which for anyone who doesn't know since it's the most commented thing in this channel, a single screen video is literally just a video with one screen like the album cover. Okay, you have the single screen video, the lyric video, and the music video made for them, and then you have a bunch of art photos behind the scenes shot footage and other photos that you can promote to tell stories arounds. This means if you have all this, you're ready to promote your song. So we're going to release your song on Wednesday and why Wednesday you may ask? I am often asked what day to release music on and my answer is always Tuesday through Thursday. Your favorite artists flood the zone with music on Fridays and your music is not going to be the fix someone is looking for. Since why are they need to search for new music when their fave is already putting out new music on that day? Saturday and Sunday, less people are on the internet and social media. So that's a bad idea to release then, and people are listening to those new releases that came out on Friday.  So Tuesday through Thursday is your best bet in my opinion. I should say you will notice this promotion plan is much more of a daily putting a small rock to build a big pile rather than all day grind. Release day and music video release day are the only two days I really advise flooding social media in your community and instead all the other days is just steady reminders and storytelling that help remind people to listen and help give you deeper bonding to the song. This lets your audience not be overwhelmed with your presence and gives you time to work on building community and keep writing songs. And this promotion plan starts on the day of releasing your song. I know some of the absolute hacks who do these YouTube release plans do 14 days of promoting your song before anyone can hear it. But as I explained in my video on why teasing your song is dumb, the plans these YouTube gurus, aka hacks, are giving you a because they have worked as wedding DJs most of their life, not actual music markers. If you promote a song no one can hear for 14 days, you don't build momentum. You annoy everyone. And if you don't believe me, watch my video on teasers, which is linked in the description. Okay, so it's really stay and you're not going to put out your song on all the streaming services and release a single screen video to YouTube. Release day is your day to make a lot of noise. And I'm actually going to graze over this day a bit since I made a whole video on how to make a huge splash on release day. And to go over it in this video would put another extra 10 minutes on this already long video. If you want to watch that video right now, it's on the screen now or in the description below. But I'm never going to say this better than I did there. So hit the books or videos. So on the day two, this is where most of you already begin to fall off. It's time to tell a story about the song on Instagram. We got to keep this going and maintain interest. Remember, the game is to keep any conversations around the story of the song you're telling. And you're going to try to make this a day where the socially skilled person in your group could stay up on comments and keep your posts spreading. I want to make a note about what so many people mess up on day two with any luck people will mention your song and their stories, but try to avoid over sharing those and instead only reward the best few. If you worry about disappointing fans who shared your songs on stories, instead of all those people who didn't make the best story to share of your song, I would send them an audio message in their DMs and personally thank them since this will be just as good, if not better than a share and ramp up their enthusiasm to you even more. Day three, it's now Friday and you're fighting against all the other acts making music. So now is a great time to update your Spotify artist playlist and add some new releases that's out and promote that that playlist is now updated. Since after all, Friday is the day to listen to new music. Let's tweet out and share that playlist and tag the small groups on it on Twitter and Insta. And if you don't know about this technique that I use to build fans that's super effective with Spotify, the video I made is linked now or in the cards. And on this day, after the song has been out, I had the single screen video to my playlist of all my singles on YouTube and share that on YouTube to remind people they can listen to it. I should say that's in a YouTube story. Day four and five, I'm going to combine since it's the weekend, since as we said, less people are on the internet and social media. So the weekend isn't as effective. So I try to keep this promo light. And one of the reasons I like releasing a song on Tuesday or Wednesday instead of Friday is you don't get the uphill battle of having day two and three of promotion beyond the weekend. Now is a great time to do some personality posts and even if they are from the past, show yourself in your Insta stories and share the pics on Twitter and caption it with stream my new song. So for me, beer pong with myself or put the song as the background music in your IG stories. We're trying to make content here that's fun for those who follow you with less over promotion since we shouldn't waste time doing pure promotion. Let's remember this. The biggest thing people don't get about music is that what it really is.  So the key to these posts is to show people how they could be feeling if your track was playing. If it's a show classical piano piece, maybe post a beautiful video of some rain on a glass.  Let's make a Facebook post and we're going to share it on your Instagram stories with a picture of it since we want to always be reminding your fans that they can get more of you or follow you on their preferred platform, especially if it gets them off of Facebook to Twitter, Insta, or TikTok. But reposting a tweet on your Instagram story is a great way to drop a hint that your fans should be following you on Twitter as well. Day seven. We now need to shed more light on the story. This can be behind the scenes video or talking more about the story of the song. As I told you, you should write the stories you have down five different ways. It's time to tell the story of the song another way. So let's post that story and then put it on some of our socials.   And if you don't get that, watch my playlist on it, which is linked in the description. Day eight. Your song has now been out for a week. And if you really want to get engagement, tell people something vulnerable they can latch on to and tie it back to the song. For example, when I wrote beer pong with myself, I realized I could be doing things alone that I thought I could only do with other people.  But I've now learned it's okay to be alone and play beer pong with myself. See, that was vulnerable. Also, if you're enjoying this video, now is a perfect time to click that like button and get subscribed. Way to ruin a vulnerable moment with a plug. Day nine. This is an important day. Let's find some other ways to contextualize the video. Grab some imagery from the music video or lyric video and tease it. And I know some of you were saying, Jesse, you're the guy who just said never tease. But actually I'm the guy who says don't tease something people can't latch on to. People can listen to your song right now. So teasing that there will be a lyric video soon is just another way to keep people engaged and know that there's more coming. Your song is out and they can latch onto it and get addicted to it. And you're just mildly mentioning that there's a lyric video coming. So if people are vibing on the song, they now though they can go deeper soon with the music video and start feeling the visual that enhances it. Day 10. It's Friday. And I would make one of those Spotify music and talk episodes and play some music you like and talk about it. Be sure to do just like I suggested in my video on these music and talk episodes, which is linked in the description and tag the smaller groups you play in it on Instagram and Twitter. Hell, even Facebook. Show some personality and let people bond with you and hear some new music. Day 11 to 12. It's the freaking weekend and it's time to do what we did last weekend some more. But here's going to be my little tweak. If you happen to be up late around 10 to 12 PM, make sure you post your song then. Many people are alone and vibing. And one of the weirdest phenomenons I've seen when I've tracked clicks is you can get weird spikes off sharing at this time for people who are just hanging solos since no one else is promoting their music on the weekend late at night. Since there's so many people who are doing just what I talked about in my new song, Beer Pong with Myself. See what I did there? Day 13. Another Monday. Now is enough time that people are hopefully are vibing on your song hard.  It means the unique way in which you speak. Try to capitalize on people's enthusiasm and get that Spotify follow so you get a more release radar playlist when your next song drops. Also, if you've had any press by now, this is a great time to share it as you've probably gotten some momentum and you can really try to convert those people who aren't taking it seriously that they should listen to this song. Day 14. The stories you shared day one. Let's bring a back of variation on them and change some of the words and details and try to keep getting some traction here with the story and tell more of it so people can keep going deeper with you. If you're a meme person, let's make some memes about the song. If you're a visuals person, let's sign some beautiful images and put your song behind it and keep giving people new ways to feel the emotion of the song. Day 15. It's time to release your lyric video or visualizer. So let's talk about the visuals or the mood of the song. Single out some lyrics and expand upon them. If you don't feel like explaining your lyrics, talk about lyrics and other people's songs and draw it back to your song like I do here. Day 16. It's time to remind people you just put up the lyric video and then drop it in the playlist of your own discography on Spotify and let everyone see that playlist link. And also do the same in your YouTube discography playlist. Two days after the lyric videos dropped, I replaced it in my playlist and talked about another song that my fans hopefully enjoyed since nothing else gets people listening to a song like thinking they're gonna get an emotional feeling from a song they already liked. Day 17. It's Friday. It's time to share your playlist of music that you've been enjoying of artists similar to you and tag them in it just like we did in the previous Friday. Day 18 and 19. Same drill as the other weekends but this time we're going to schedule a tweet in Instagram for super early in the morning on Sunday and try to catch those early birds who are up reading social media on their phone. Use the schedule function in Facebook Creator Studio for Instagram and Facebook and Twitter can be scheduled using tweet deck and let's try to catch a different crowd than we've been catching. Day 20. Let's do an Instagram live with everyone who worked on the song with you or another artist if you do it all yourself and get someone else's audience to get hip to you. The idea is their followers will see you talking and hopefully discover you and you should definitely play the song in your stream. Day 21. Get creative here. Let's find a fun way to talk about your song that's different than the other ways. It could be a story from recording Wikipedia is something you reference in the lyrics. Talk about some aspect of it you haven't before. Day 22. Let's zone in on a lyric from the video and tell a story about it. In fact let's google variations on the lyric and make some jokes about other songs that have lyrics similar to yours and maybe find some playful way of mentioning the lyrical theme you have and how other people have talked about it. Day 23. Let's yet again tell one of those variations on the main story of the song. As I have said you should have five ways of telling the story of the song it's time to call on another one. Day 24. It's Friday again. Let's again update your music and talk episodes. Maybe bring on a guest and try to get their audience to hear your new songs and some other music similar to yours. Day 25 and 26. Yep it's the weekend. But to change up the weekend we're going to ask your followers a question to interact with on Instagram and promote the song and the answers. Do a Q&A and try to get some fun fan bonding going and do whatever you can with using Instagram's functions to try to drive some engagement and play around with this on the weekend while doing all the other things we talked about doing on other weekends. Day 27. Let's do a flashback to your past and put it in context with your new song and talk about how far you've come. People love a hero's journey for musicians. Day 28. It's time to preview the music video with an image. Just put up something that's striking and remind people to listen to the song and hopefully get psyched to watch the music video. Day 29. Release the music video and go wild like it's release day. Seriously treat this the way I suggested in my release day video and really bring the song the full promotion it deserves. It's now been a month since you last promoted the song heavily and did a day of really non-stop promotion and this is the best time to do it since music videos offer the best way to interact with the song. Day 30. We just had the biggest event of the single release, the moment we've been building up to. So it's time to go wild. Let's really push this thing and be shameless. Two days after the music video drops I add the song to my music videos playlist and take the skingle screen and the lyric video out of any playlist I need to and then I tell a story about the video in my youtube stories. Day 31. It's time to update your similar artist playlist on Spotify again and tag the new artist in it. Day 32 to 33. If you've captured some of your behind the scenes footage from your music video, share those over the weekend and in your stories and tweet them out here or there and tell a little story behind them. Day 34. Today let's show some interactions. If there's fun youtube or instagram interactions where you show personality or shed light on the song let's post those to twitter and instagram just like I show on the screen here. Day 35. Your fans have now had a week to watch your video. So tonight we're going to go on instagram live with everyone in the video. The director, any actors, a photographer was involved etc. Invite them on one at a time and talk about the song and what else they are working on and most of all play the damn video. Day 36. Your video has been out for a week and let's talk about one of the visuals in it or give a glimpse on what's in it and make a post about it. Day 37. Let's show a picture of you hard at work on an upcoming song but now let's play up how this latest song is just the beginning and how this song you're promoting is influencing the new one. Day 38 and I know you're going to be shocked here but we're going to do another music and talk set and keep pushing your new song next to music similar to you so we can hopefully get some of those similar artist fans to hear your new song and build bonds with existing fans. Seriously it only takes like an hour to do one of these and it's such great promotion and then you can make a graphic for it on Instagram to promote it. Day 39 and Day 40. I know trust me this is getting long but let's just mix up some of those techniques we did on the other weekends. Look through your analytics and see if those morning posts or those late night posts work better than others and let's do what worked best again and push this music video. Day 41. Let's be sure you've been posting some behind-the-seed stuff to your YouTube stories and if you haven't done that let's do that now. Day 42. Let's do the ultimate internet thirst trap. Post a picture from when you were younger and for the record this is a picture from the first and only time I've ever played beer pong. Day 43. So we either start over again right here or we release an alternate version of your song and keep promoting that alternate version in the way we did in previous weeks. For the last two weeks promote your new acoustic version remix feature version of the song or whatever you're doing to change the songs with all the techniques I just did and sustain this until the next song comes out two weeks later. If you're not going to do an alternate version of the song you could always pick from the last 45 days of promotion ideas I just gave you and keep pushing this song until you release the next one. But the key is to just keep going and show people you're taking this song seriously and remind them to listen to it. Okay if you have further questions this video shows I'm listening. I plan on doing a live stream where I answer your questions on this video a few weeks from now. Be sure to leave comments and I'll answer them in that live stream. If this was helpful please like and subscribe and be sure to turn on those notifications for my videos so you know when I drop one. If you look on the screen now there's a playlist on how to get your music noticed that has a bunch more videos just like this one. As well there's two others one on how to go from zero to 10,000 fans and one on how to blow up on Spotify. Thanks for watching.


Elegant, everyday outfit idea with my outfit of the day, take one silk skirt, add a camel blouse, tie it in a knot, pair with elegant sandals, a similar toned handbag, a sprinkle of gold jewellery, a dab of blush and you're good to go. Have a good week everyone, see you Sunday.


This is Witchspace News for Friday the 15th of April 2022. I'm CMDR Buur. In Elite Dangerous News this week, there's pre-engineered modules and free paint jobs to grab in-game. There's a special focus on the audio effects within Elite. A new release onto the Arc Store sends some nicely retro vibes through the community. We summarize the latest fdev live stream and more. To make sure you don't miss any of our videos hit like and subscribe and remember to click the little bell icon and select all notifications and if you'd like to help directly support this channel you can also join our Patreon via the link in the video description. We start the news this week with word from Galnet that three mega ships owned by the definitely not evil and completely trustworthy mega corporation Sirius have been moved to some of the more thargoid intense zones outside of the bubble in which alliance interests are most threatened by the caustic cabbages. Those zones being one in the colsack nebula and two in the witch head sector. The Galnet article states that the mega ships will be selling pre-engineered heat sinks to pilots drawn to the region to aid in any weed killing exercises. The pleiades panic pansies being particularly sensitive to heat signatures when in combat. As of this recording the heat sinks were not yet available on board the mega ships so if you're planning on picking them up maybe wait to hear confirmation that that issue has been resolved before heading out. A new haulage community goal was started on Thursday in the game with the stated goal of building the marlinists up to six new star ports to call their own. As well as the usual credits the CG is also rewarding two paint jobs spread across four ships for the top 100% and the top 50% of contributors. The paint jobs being the tranquil and lush paint jobs respectively for the phantom dbx t9 and anaconda. The paint jobs are of a similar style to those currently being given away as seasonal twitch drop rewards on frontiers live streams. If you've some arcs burning a hole in your pocket and like us have been somewhat frustrated by the lack of variety available on the store of late then today could be your lucky day. Frontier released a new commander outfit onto the store today and rather than the recolours of existing suits that we've been seeing fairly consistently this new very welcome attempt to deprive you of your hard earned is actually pretty original and altogether on point. The retro themed vintage intrepid gear that you can see on screen now is themed towards a sudo 60s space race era astronaut vibe and sports three available colour flashes red blue and yellow and if you're still in the mood to buy stuff then do be aware that frontier are having a publisher sale on steam right now all frontiers titles are included at varying levels of discount and that includes the elite dangerous base game and elite dangerous odyssey those titles getting a 75% discount and a 40% discount respectively the sale on steam will be a time limited thing so don't hang about if you're in the market the funky retro future spacesuits however are not so feel free to indulge at your leisure a fascinating video emerged on reddit this week that shows the view of a gas giant taken from a tidally locked moon in orbit the video shows one screenshot taken every 12 seconds over a period of 18 hours and beautifully demonstrates the real-time orbital mechanics that permeate the elite dangerous universe as created by the game's stellar forge system you know it goes on but rarely get to see it shown so obviously the movement of planets generally being much more subtle to the human eye well worth a look you'll find the video by max uk bg linked in the description below the head of game audio at frontier developments Matthew Florians posted a fascinating video this week to his personal youtube channel that breaks down how the much revered audio in the original game works and how and why it achieves what it does focusing particularly on the noises generated by the engines and weapons on the venerable sidewinder and the very recognizable imperial clipper the video pulls apart the separate elements of each sound and then plays them with accompanying footage to better highlight the noises you hear but don't necessarily know that you hear the footage used is from the original game release and is therefore quite old at this point but the audio is no less spectacular for it and most players of the game will always tell anyone who'll listen how good the audio environment created for the game has always been as well as the regular reactive and ambient noises generated by the ships the video that comes in at just under 14 minutes in length also demonstrates the incredible effects that kick in during a canopy breach when the ship takes damage in combat well worth a look and a listen you'll find Matthew's video linked in the video description below in frontier news this week community manager Bruce Garrido took to the forums early in the week to report back to the community on one of the hallmark issues from the early days of odyssey that being the terrain tile repetition on planet surfaces when viewed from space if you're unfamiliar with the issue then here's a quick bit of background odyssey changed the way planetary surfaces in the game were rendered in odyssey major features on a planet surface like mountain ranges and valleys etc are made up from a number of pre-baked tile sets which can be resized and arranged differently to give a natural appearance annoyingly humans are particularly adept at recognizing patterns in seemingly random noise and this can lead to some very unnatural and somewhat jarring planetary approaches and in some instances significant repetition has been observed of the same tiles being used on a given planet surface with the same features being seen over and over again in several places here at the burpit although we have noticed the tile repetition issue on a couple of occasions whilst obviously less than ideal it hasn't been a constant problem for either of us here and honestly I can't remember the last time I noticed it in game with all that said it is undoubtedly a shame that fdev doesn't have the internal resources to address it further to summarize bruce's post the dev team is not returning to the issue as fixing it would mean fundamental changes to the way the galaxy is generated and doing so would have significant knock on effects that would impact further work on performance bug fixes and new content the issue is therefore being closed and removed from the bug tracker the post finishes by saying that they are continuing to strive for the best possible experience for the highest number of players which is what their current focus allows them to do if this issue with the terrain isn't being looked at then we think it a safe bet that other terrain rendering issues associated with the tileset system are likely not going to be addressed either such as the overall general flatness or indeed in some cases the extreme weird pointy peaks on planetary surfaces and the lack of any significant extremes that used to be found in the galaxy as a whole if that is indeed the case we'll likely never find a mountain like never rest again or ever see the planetary canyons and mountainous features needed by the hooning community to practice their own particular brand of flight assist off extreme flying which although probably peculiarities of the previous procedural generation system did create whole genres of gameplay it was originally planned that at some point horizons would be merged into the new odyssey terrain generation system if that is indeed still the plan then when that happens all those player developed activities and discoveries from the last several years will indeed be gone forever and that will absolutely be a sad day the new galaxy tech without a doubt has brought a new level of realism to the game and this quality really is to be applauded perhaps it is just a case of horizons terrain was more fun and odyssey terrain is much prettier on the frontier thursday livestream the tile repetition issue wasn't mentioned or addressed further and again the team didn't deliver any further development news with regard to console account transfers or any ongoing development of the game aside from the twitch drops which are now an ongoing bonus all other content in this week's show once again came from the community community manager arthur did mention that community frustration with both the account transfer issue and the ongoing lack of any kind of development roadmap from the company with regard to elite dangerous was being passed back into the company and expressed again that as soon as the cms are given something they can share they will do so from Arthur's comments last night it's clearly evident the cm team are hearing the anxiety from the community and that anxiety is being passed back up the chain sadly whomever that feedback is being sent to as yet seems reticent to allow even the merest hint of a timeline or roadmap for this new content and thus there remains this slightly intangible disconnect in frontiers expression of its plans for elite and this in turn constantly leaves the community feeling somewhat disheartened it's worth underlining and remembering that in arthur's post to the forums on the ninth of february he did state that quote the whole team are excited to share all of the upcoming content for this year including new updates content expansions and the next major phase in the ongoing narrative following the azimuth saga finale unquote however since the third of december last year when we were last promised a quote full development update in january 2022 unquote the only solid development news frontier of delivered is what they can't do most notably odyssey on consoles and now the fixing of the terrain repetition issue and whilst that's undoubtedly a valuable part of the development news mix thus far it remains the whole mix we remain hopeful that whomever holds the strings on the flow of information within frontier before it reaches the cms is listening and understands the frustration that the current policy is causing are you grabbing your commander a retro spacesuit or are you heading to the fargoid hotspots for some cool down heat sinks let us know in the comments below that's it for now thanks very much for watching we'll be back later this week with more videos until then oh seven commanders follow the greens on the way out and do keep clear of the toast rack we very much look forward to seeing you next time

Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with a hanger box of 2018-19 Panini Dauntless basketball hanger box break number one. I think this should be two. We did one yesterday, but we accidentally labeled it as. Anyway, either way, three different dice rolls happening here. The first one is we're giving away 10 spots within this Dauntless box break.  Second dice roll will be the break itself and the third and final dice roll will be giving away those flawless random number block spots. Potentially our last, I know it says last fellow right there, but we might have to do one more, but that's all good. Big thanks to this group for making it happen. Appreciate you. So let's gather all your names with our first dice roll, top 10 after three, two and a one, three times, good luck. One, two and three. There you go, top 10, little buy one, get one opportunity for you. Eugene, Jack, Eugene again, Abraham, Eugene, Anthony, Abraham, Chad, Robert and Abraham. Congrats to you. After three extra spots go on your way, giving you better odds for those number blocks. Those little roof tops next to your name so you know you won those.  All right, now let's do the break as well, itself. LeBron is 18 already. All right, second dice roll. Let's roll it, randomize it, four and a four. Eight the hard way, names and teams. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight. It's plain for pride, that's what it is right now. They're gonna make history again. Shoot it, Hachimura. Three. All right, we got Anthony down to Nancy after eight. Four and a four, eight times four, the teams. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight. Charlotte down to Memphis after eight. No trades in these filler boxes. We just wanna get to the giveaway part as quickly as possible. All right, but there's the first half of the list right there on the record and then the second half right there as well. Gotta get this on tape, on wax, on video, on videotape. Fall this time? It's pretty rip. Now we gotta do, maybe try to move some full number block spots. LeBron James. He's feeling himself, LeBron James, he's feeling it. 18 first port. Can you drop 60 tonight?

Hey, it's Bridget. Welcome to Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope. Today we're going to have a conversation, a conversation or dialogue about working with energy and being an empath. Now I know that I've talked about this topic a ton on my Ferry Grasshopper YouTube channel. So there's lots of content about being an empath and working with energy over there. And I was trying to think of who, I know who I want to talk to about this topic.  But maybe I'll talk to two different people about this topic and do a couple different videos. We'll see how this goes. But I want to talk with Louise Hay, who is like a spiritual kind of a trailblazer for me from the afterlife. And she was the owner of the publishing like Powerhouse Hay House and just an incredible person on her journey and unfolding. And I just gave so many people opportunities and supported the LGBTQ plus community. And I just, I just, my heart just, when I feel her, I just feel so much compassion and love and just humanness, like the kind of humanness that I really appreciate in people. So let's talk with Louise Hay first about being an empath and about just energy in general, maybe the sensitivity of our hearts might be a good thing. She's really good at this topic in this area. So it's perfect. So hey, Louise, I know it's been a while since we've talked, but I I've been busy. I've been like human being. I've been being a person. So and I always appreciate the reconnecting with you very much. I definitely consider you a mentor as you all know. And so I appreciate a teacher. She says she kind of looks at me like teacher like, like she wants to like give give that to me. She like puts the energy of teacher back on me because that's something that. So let's just put Bridget's personal stuff out there. That's something that I kind of struggle with.   And because they have a vibration and there's a meaning and and a resonance to them. So in translating what comes from spirit, I am so picky about the word choice. It's really important. And sometimes I get it wrong. And when I do, I can tell I can feel it, you know, so I'm trying to find the right one. And sometimes there isn't a right one. But I try to alignment, right? Click, click, click words. But there is a word that I struggle with because it's not just a word. It's a title or a label. And it's it's really a positional power. And I'm not sure how I feel about it in this context. But she says teacher and like she puts it back toward me because I say teacher to her because that's how she feels to me. And she gives it right back to me like teacher, teacher. And I'm like, okay, let's take a breath in everybody. And exhale out. So Bridget can keep her stuff together so we can do a channeling. Okay. I'm working on it. And I'm working on it. Let me tell you embracing or accepting the energy of that because it feels very responsible to me. And she says you are leading by example. She says, you're leading by example, Bridget, here in this, this, this conversation. She's like, you're leading by example. Because energy does carry an incredible amount of, of responsibility with it from the mind's perspective. So now the mind takes upon itself to interpret feelings when they become mixed in as a form of energy as something that is needing to be controlled or managed or tamed. Okay, so emotions and feelings mixed as a form of energy need to be contained, tamed, according to the mind, right? Is that, did we get that right? Yes. She says yes. And the biggest, most challenging part of you, of your spiritual journey, body, mind, heart and soul is your mind. She says, so let's start with the mind and understand that the heart knows exactly the heart has so much wisdom. And the heart knows exactly what you need. And right when you need it. And it, it does its best to honor the feelings and emotions as they come in or rise up within you. Okay, so stop right there. What's the difference, Louise, between the feeling of emotional energy? So we're taking emotions, you guys, and energy and we're kind of putting them together, but recognizing that they're not exactly the same thing. Okay, but they are together in this context. Okay. So what exactly is this rising up versus coming in or feeling like that feels like there's a difference to me to you guys too, right? Can you describe that? She says the uprising. Oh, I love that's a good word. Yeah, uprising. She says the uprising comes from inside of you it's wisdom from the ages that you carry in your body, the wisdom of your body brings this she says, you know, it's housed in the chakras, which are a way to organize the energy within the body, and to have a means of communication externally with energy and allowing internal conversation to also occur. So both two ways of multiple ways of communication, she says various communication. And the the the processing of the uprising that occurs is something that is a part of you wanting to be known. So there is a part of a wisdom that may come from a past life experience, or an early this life experience, or even at times something that was is not remembered or seemingly insignificant. Yet, emotional energy is attached or wrapped around that experience or circumstance, and brings to you a level of understanding that will help you with whatever it is that you're actually focusing on for your life now. So so feeling the emotion when it comes rising up within you. Is it necessarily a reaction or direct correlation to something happening externally now? It's coming from a reverberation? No, that's not the right word. What's the right word? It's coming from a like a remembrance, but it's not in the mind. It's like a body memory. It's not in the mind, you guys, she's like, but it's not coming from the mind going to the body and coming back up. It's not that although she says although that can happen. Yes, you can have a remembrance, which you would consider trigger memory, heart feeling, and then going deeper into the body into the solar plexus or the belly to process the information. But that she says that's like the incoming or the receiving. That would be considered receiving, although it is internal, it is very much something that is coming kind of outside of like the heart channel, which the heart space is the primary channel for the processing of energetic information related to specifically incoming most obviously through the emotions, but physical sensory or senses with the body's alliance with the heart does also provide that but we're focusing primarily on as she said the brain. But inside this rising up comes from like an inner knowing and inner wisdom that it's time for you to know this, or that this piece of information needs to be brought forward for you because it will help. It will help you understand to give you some context perspective to what's happening right here and you're watching you're like what is going on in the world and all of a sudden emotions come up you think you're reacting to that YouTube clip or to something someone said at the supermarket but maybe you're not maybe it's something that's coming from deeper within you and coming up so that you can allow yourself the opportunity to integrate that wisdom so you can actually practically use it at some point. Okay, so what is the goal of this uprising? What is that is there like a purpose or intention for that information and she says perspective is close. She said it's it's really perspective is a really close way to say it. It's the ability to give you to see something differently is what she's saying to understand and know and look at something different differently. It's like a longer range lens a wider wider view. Yeah, wider because not necessarily longer into the future. Although I've seen that recently in my session in my meditation. I've seen this really cool concept about long range time versus up looking at everything bigger picture seeing the whole picture but long range like into the future when you're doing visioning and manifestation. Oh, very cool. I have to do a video about that. Maybe I'm very grasshopper but so this rising up interesting so it's our own inner wisdom that's bringing forward information to help us through emotion and energy. Yes. Yes. And it feels different because it does feel like it arrives inside. Like it comes up from like somewhere in the belly or in the lower body the hips and just like really grounded energy and it comes up like kind of opens up or unfolds it literally kind of unfolds like opens up like that. So okay, so then what's the difference between that then in the intake of energy and emotion coming at us because sometimes it feels like a like we're triggered like somebody has a hook in us or like we see that YouTube video or like feels like somebody just put a poker in my heart or I just got like I stepped on a sticker but with my heart like or my belly so the two places I would feel at most is the heart and the belly. So heart and solar plexus like a punch in the gut that kind of thing and but the punch in the guts different. Okay, let me just be clear. That's a little different. That's deep inner life work. When you get a punch in the gut, it's deep inner life work connected to your spirit, your life purpose and this timeline. That's what that's about and organizing the difference between the past timelines and the current timelines and timelines are a new thing that is shifting and changing so much more in the context of the human mindset and our experience here on earth now that we should probably do a bit about that too. Maybe, huh? Let me be unfair grasshopper. Maybe. Oh, you know, it would be good to talk about timelines. David Boye. Now I'm saying this because I do I will watch back this video and I'll take some notes so that I remember what I what I can do. Great idea. See, at least you're such good ideas. So talk to us about this trigger kind of thing where somebody comes and kind of like, oh, oh, hot in the heart, kind of poking your poking your poking can you step back kind of energy? You know, how does that like do we let that happen? Are we attracting that to us? Like what's the deal with that? Because it's an emotional response. It's kind of physical. In many cases for me, I really feel stuff very physically my body and maybe for you guys to my body and my heart are like, I've got you like alliance. Like I got you and I'm never going to let you go like that that kind of sweet, sweet partnership, my heart and my body are like, I got you. I love that. That would be a good meditation. Okay, okay, ideas. I got lots of ideas. Okay, so talk to us about that though. Talk to us about that emotion, energy, and that trigger. How's that? She says, now you deal with the intellect and the mind, which is trying to organize things. The mind is trying to understand, or trying to find, okay, I'm seeing some images from like graphic images of like graphics, pictures, graphics, pictures of like matching things up and where did things plug in? It's like, when you have like 1000 different kinds of cords, and you're like, which one fits which phone, the AirPods, the Android versus the iPhone that I have versus the I mean, the headphones that the both the Bose headphones that the husband has. And I mean, there's all this stuff, right? And there's and you have to find the right plug in. That's kind of the image I'm getting. Alright, so it's, it's messy. Just say that. So the mind searches from what she's showing me, is this accurate reflect? Yeah, yes, very reflective. You got a bridge and she's like, yes, searches to make the connection between this trigger, and something that you've experienced before in the mind could be a memory, or it could be a fear. So, so if you're triggered, what comes up is this incredible rush of discomfort, that usually feels like pain or fear.  But but the mind searches for something to connect to the emotional trigger, the emotional surge, the quick, who emotional things, the mind quick goes, okay, what, what, what is this match? What matches this? What matches this was matches this and it goes, Oh, fear, fear, fear of what? Fear of death, fear of loss, not having money, which is loss, fear of death is also loss.  And so the mind tries to make a match. And then when that match is made, then, even if we settle down, like we can let go of that clip that we saw, it's still with you energetically, because there was a match or click that was made. And usually it's to a reoccurring life pattern or theme that you may consciously be aware of or not. If you're not consciously aware of it, you're going to get crabby, your mood will change, you will feel more heavy, more tired, more fatigued as a result of that trigger, we're just going to tell you physical body responses very normal. This is normal. There's something wrong with you don't need your diagnosis out and your chart of okay, what what is happening because I'm this this is why it's happening. No, you don't need that. You just need to understand that physical reactions are natural. It's natural.  That's physical body responses. That's like a normal thing for us. Our body gives us info based upon how we feel sensory feelings. So I it seems like depending upon whether you know the theme or not, or the match that's happening is going to be a pivotal, pivotal point for you in dealing with the trigger and understanding the emotional energy of it. Because it so many of us are so busy trying to avoid the emotions. Avoid avoid avoid deflect me.  Oh, I'm gonna get busy helping somebody else with something instead of dealing with my something. Does that sound like you? You don't have to raise your hand. I'll raise mine because it's totally me. I know my pattern for avoiding emotion. I know that very well. I know that I'm really good at it. So I I call it like I see it. So if you're in session with me, when I'm doing intuitive coaching and you do that, I will mention that to you multiple times just to help you be aware because when you're aware, then you can change things and you can work with energy productive and helpful to you instead of just responding to it like Oh, I'm triggered. Oh, now what do I do? Well, guess what? Now you can work with that energy. How do you want to work with that energy? You do have choice. We are consciously aware you have choice. And so when you get moodier, crabby, that's a way that you can tend to the moodiness or crabbyness, the after effects of what just happened for you energetically and emotionally, you can tend to that. That's one way you can manage it. However, there is a deeper, more profound way and that is to work with the energy. When you understand that it's a trigger of fear of loss, that's something I've been dealing with this like sense of grief, as you know, if you've been watching fairy grasshopper, the sense of loss or the grief on so many life changes that we've had in fact, very tangible grief with the loss. Recently, I've had a loss of a client that died. I have mother-in-law that died. I had, I have a child that's going away to college. So there's he's grieving and I'm feeling his grief. And I'm also having my own because now I have two kids out. I'm like halfway done. I got two out to win. Oh, and when they leave, by the way, if you don't know this, if you're younger and the parenting arena, it's not easier necessarily when they're out of the house, it's just different and you still worry about them and such. So been working on that working on that whole process. But when you can be aware, so the grief piece, for example, is a sense of loss or a fear of loss, like I don't want to lose somebody, whether it be through separation, physical separation, like they move or through something more, more deeply emotional, you know, like like loss through death or other other kinds of loss like that. And that's, it's unfortunate because the loss piece that the fear of the loss for me is it affects everything like money, food, like money food work, like it's been hard for me to balance the healthy letting go of clients and the natural attrition of like, how some clients just they they're in a different place and how there's new clients that come in and they have a little different needs. And so it's kind of like this loss of routine, maybe that might be that might be something to loss of that routine that creates the stability and the comfort. Okay, so this is my stuff. So let's let's focus on your stuff. It's like a therapy session. Are we talking to Robin Williams? No, we're talking to Louise. Hey, but this gives you an idea. So you take that information that you know and you journal about it. So what I do is I'm like, Oh, this is my fear of loss that's triggered. Okay, I understand what this is. So I know how to work with it. So I might journal about it, or I might do like, make a list of things that are positive that I have in my life that I love or connect into things that are afterlife or spiritually connected like archangels, because even if some someone or something can't always be with you or isn't always tangibly right here with you right now, there is a spiritual level of consistent connection. And that's not broken. So there really is no loss then, there's only a different way of connecting. And that's profound. And that's really new for me. And that's amazing. And now I know that obviously we can connect when you know, the soul, you can still connect with the soul and all that. But this is different. It's like this really deeper understanding for me of understanding that the relationship continues and it evolves, it even gets better and more ascended, you know, and that's like, wow, that's like inspiring. So the trigger then becomes something that gives me something good, really beneficial. And as long as I don't get stuck in a spiral of, Oh, this is so bad, and oh, is it lost sad? And even if I'm sad, I feel the emotion of sadness, then I cry, I let myself cry, or if I feel angry, I can yell. And like I let myself express the emotion and the energy must flow. So that's a huge part. I think of processing that emotions. So all right, whoops, just dropped my alright. So wow, that was kind of deep. Okay, I wish I would have brought my coffee out here. I could use a little bit of sippery now, but okay. So what else can you share with us about energy and being an empath? Because you're talking about the mind. So is there any like tips you can give us or advice about the brain and the mind of maybe thoughts, will you talk to us about thoughts related to emotions and energy? It's like, I don't I'm confused by what comes first, the thought or the feeling. And she says right away, she says, either both.  She's like, it's both. It really just it's what what works for you and how you're wired. She's like showing me how you're wired, like how you're calibrated. Sometimes it's the emotion. Sometimes it's the thought and sometimes it's the opposite. Like things can be different. So it's really like a kind of a balance, maybe either or both. Okay, so can you give us some tips about the thoughts though, or about the mind or working with the mind, like the positive thought thing and the affirmations like does that work? Like how does that work? She says, you know it works. She says, thank you, Louisa. She said, you know it works. Yes, it does. It does because when you repeat to yourself, she's like, you start a rhythm or a cycle in your mind, and you repeat something that you want, or that you know is something helpful for you or healthy or positive. Then you become in alignment with that. She's saying rhythm. It's interesting. She doesn't use the word. You know, you're not using the word alignment. That's a Bridget word. But she's using the word rhythm. You become in rhythm with it, like in step with it, and it kind of becomes a routine or something you can rely on. That's what she said. Yes, that's what affirmations and mantras are. She said, that's the same. It creates a rhythm for you. And she says, it's not, so I'm asking in my head, I better say this out loud, is it a distraction though? Is a mantra or affirmation, is that a distraction, a thought distraction? She says, yes, in a sense it is. So you can use the idea of distraction as something very positive for you, but I wouldn't consider it distraction. I would consider it a natural choice that you are making to choose the rhythm, to choose the way that you want to move through your day, for example, and you put this in your head like she says, oh, that's a beautiful, beautiful example.  And it stops for a while and later in your day, you're at the post office and then it kind of starts up again in your mind, but it's just in your mind, like it doesn't mean you heard the song. It's not in an external trigger, you just kind of pops in there and it's kind of rolling around. You can consciously do that, she says. You can consciously choose through mantras and affirmations what is rolling around in your head, what is the cycle or the pattern, as you would say Bridget, she says, the rhythm. You can create the rhythm. You can do that.  So you should try it. She says, you should try it. A long time ago, I listened to a thing with Dr. Wayne Dyer. He's also in the afterlife and the two of them are friends. So and it was like, I am affirmation. So it was like, you would say, I am and then whatever affirmation you wanted to have, like I am beauty. I am love. I am hope. I am peace. I am faith. I am light. I am like that, for example. Or you can just have one word or phrase over and over and over and over again if you chose to do that. So I mean something really simple like you could just say one word over and over again like believe, believe, believe, or faith, faith. There's a lot of choices there. Do you see how the energy just went? That's kind of like, oh this is some nice energy right here right now. That's a Louise Hay kind of vibe. Awesome. All right you guys, I think that's good for now. I think we've had a good conversation today with Louise Hay from the afterlife. Check out Hay House Publishing. They have Hay House Radio. There's like an app. There's all sorts of stuff like that. We might as well put a plug in even though you're dead. I'm sure you don't mind. Don't mind me doing that for you. Oh my goodness. Okay, but there's lots of resources on there and that might inspire your spirits and continue to fill you with hope. Finding different topic areas. You know like astrology or shamanism or a law of attraction or singing bowls or healthy eating habits. Spiritual eating or all that kind of stuff. You know just really cool variety of stuff that might help you be focused, distracted, focused in a more positive, interesting way that might give you some inspiration too. So talk about good energy vibes. Thank you so much. I appreciate connecting with you today. It's been lovely. It always is. So thank you for being here and thank you for watching. Hope we've inspired your spirit today and filled you with some hope. Remember this is your life after all. This is your life and you have to live it. You get to. You have this opportunity to live it. So just live it. Thanks for being here.


You are about to witness an epic Tarot Magnus reaction. What is happening Magnus like so keeping it on world star I did a reaction video a little while ago to this woman here and she was explaining why she was saying basically you know married people shouldn't have friends of opposite sex so I did a video reacting to that and explaining my side of what I thought about it I was not attacking her in the video but I'll explain my thing but apparently she didn't got a part two to this and I guess she's going to go into detail I assume of what maybe she did the first time I don't know if she got attacked so maybe she's explaining herself I watched the first five like seconds of it and she said like okay I need it so apparently you know she might have been getting flat for it so maybe she's gonna go into greater detail but what she said the first time so let's see what the other lady has to say I give you my you know view on it like I always do alright so I need to clarify some things about having the opposite sex as your friend while in a committed relationship or marriage alright so first of all I want to say it's okay for you to have couple couple I guess other married couples as your friend as well while you're in a committed relationship or marriage that is okay yes we do not isolate ourselves in the world just because I'm married doesn't mean we don't interact with other people sure I have to go out in public but I'm gonna you know conduct myself appropriately as his wife now some people believe that I cannot possibly talk to my husband about every single thing yes the heck you can you know why can't you well what do you think a marriage is supposed to be you know it's supposed to be about you and your husband if you have another man on the side you know telling all your problems and issues to one I don't date you know cuz I can't possibly think of anything else that I can do with another man while I'm married you know if you do all these things with another man then he's pretty much taken up the role of your husband now he's not you know I know some women they say well I need another man because I need opinions from a man's perspective if it's really about a man's perspective how about you go find a brother a father or even a pastor if you need a man's perspective about things see I think that's a big you know why I can't be a man you don't have sex you know say the same thing oh I need a woman's perspective you know my best friend gives me tells me at 100 you know go to your mother fellas if it's about a woman's perspective no I feel like that's one big lie you know that's my opinion on it you know that you have those people who say you know you gotta be one of the most boring person in the world you can't you know control yourself it is not about controlling yourself it is the other person you must understand that the enemy comes in disguises the moment your husband or your wife has a fallout which all marriages every relationship does I don't care who you are I don't care how famous you are how popular you are I don't have fallouts those are the down points with my girlfriend and I ain't fuck none of my female friends right there oh he should have did that oh yeah my female friends oh it can't happen I was with you I would have done that see it that is how they pull you in now when you exercise control money in your life well I'm not in your life or just there because oh I just wanted to be their friend from the beginning still a lot somehow somehow you all fell into this friend zone trust me I've been there I've done it you've fallen into the friend zone so guess what you all been friends for the longest just never find a way to be together I don't care who you are you know having friends of the opposite all the time asking for trouble you know you may not even be attracted to that person but guess what like I said when did you have this falling out with your spouse but that split second and a split moment of comfort oh you're gonna be attracted to that person not because of their physical attract attractive trust me I didn't have female friends that was there for me and I wasn't attracted to it take your relationship telling you right now okay head of this house he leads me there is no room for another man I don't need to talk to another man on the phone I don't need to go on dates with another man I don't need to you know socialize myself with with the male species why I'm out you know at work well I actually work from home so it really doesn't matter but when I did work out in public we keep it strictly professional that's it so for all of those who are trying to make up all these excuses of why are you trying to hold into those friends and those people are like oh no you know if he can't expect except my male friend or she can't accept my female friend then we just can't be together so you're telling me that that male or that female friend is so important to you because they were there before there risk or you know they were there before my girl you've been building for years my girl don't trust me that's an issue because of that friend think about it I'm thinking about so obviously that friend is more important damn right marriage if I'm not married his mother in the beginning of the relationship his wife as the Bible says then what do you think I can clean and still have friends he cleans to know and she can still be a friend you can still be a friend you can be one still a friend I'm ready for all the the nice little comments and excuses people are going to come up with now all right girls listen right so you can have platonic friends I have a few platonic female friends what ain't gonna never be nothing okay I'm gonna give you an example I'm gonna give you a shout out girl Emily Calderon I've been friends with her since Kenny garden that's right I said it ghetto sound Kenny garden okay me and her ain't never danced together we ain't never kissed we never held hands I can call Emily anytime she can call me anytime and she has always been platonic as a matter of fact Emily hooked me up with my first girlfriend named Kim yes remember that we ain't never wanted each other okay so you know it's a possibility now I understand what a sister is coming from she's basically talking about you know you know getting rid of the parents is a evil any possibilities of something happening she's getting rid of and I get that but I don't think that it's needed okay okay now you gotta judge that per specific relationship as far as I'm concerned I do have a particular female friend that we have an attraction to each other and when I was going through something she was there but she knew me way before my girl knew me and I didn't touch her still I didn't do nothing with her still but I understand if I got weak she may have accepted me you know in hand or help me distress so I get what the woman is saying but here's the whole thing sometimes you'll have friends that are attracted to you but realize that the borders have been clearly defined okay I had a female friend before that I was attracted to but the border was defined and guess what we stayed friends through thick and thin and I was always there for her she was always there for well she wouldn't know it she's one of them friends that disappear when she get a man but when she you know then she would but anyway this you reappear when you know she needed a shoulder to cry on or to talk to or whatever but I was never that dude waiting in the shadows like yeah soon as he fuck her over you know it was never like that look I'm not thirsty so I'm one of them do something like okay look I'm attracted to you but you don't want me I'll draw the motherfucking line that's me I will draw the line I will friends on you you don't want me why do I want somebody that don't want me huh what does that make sense okay I'm gonna sit here and try to make you want me so my whole thing is this if you know that your friends and yeah sometimes you know birds of a feather flock together so you attractive a lot of times you know female friends might be attractive or if you you know you're a female and your track of your male friends might be attractive attractive people you know gravitate to attract people you got a little something common a lot of times you hang at the same place you party at the same place okay but it doesn't mean y'all I gotta be fucking each other and using each other as you know side pieces or just in case you get in the argument with you know with your girlfriend or your boyfriend or your husband look sometimes I can't tell you how many times I've had women that all my female friends call me for a man's point of view because they know I'm one of the rare men that isn't gonna try to use it to fuck them and I'm gonna give my unbiased opinion cuz I'm the art and I think they recognize that early with me because I'm the type of friend that will tell you when you're wrong if you expect to call me and me to just take your side just because we're friends won't do I don't do that I'm a good friend I'm gonna tell you when you're wrong I'm gonna tell you when you're right and I'm gonna tell you what I think is best for you to solve your problem okay I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit here and let you hurt somebody else or mess up your life or anything else like that I want you to both come out of the situation well I won't be the one that's gonna lead you down the right the wrong road you gonna say you know what at the end of the day time and I'm always told me it's straight he always told me it's straight I got one buddy yeah yeah this girl dirty his girl did him dirty he called me mean will it well remember you did that first I know but yeah okay then so you got to understand there's a woman scoring she flipping the fuck out tip for tap I'm not saying she's right I'm just saying I understand now that we on the same page this is what you can do I think to help your relationship flourish now from this point okay so I just think she little too strict on the whole me male female friend thing you know it's like your bodybuilder they say I'll never eat no carbs I always eat clean you know she just can't absolutely cannot have a male friend that she may ask a question from time to time the problem is and you know I mean this can happen with family you know she said well speak to a male you know your dad your brother your uncle you know sometimes your family because they've been close to you for so long they're biased so if you have a friend they ain't got no filter and they tell it straight whether it's male or female I think it's okay to confide in them to see well but you think about this situation you know but if you got a male or female friend then you know once you even though the borders are defined you ain't gonna get no unbiased answer from them cuz English man see they do don't treat you right or you know you said never got with her I knew she was a bitch you know I mean like they're gonna give you that type of answer okay so I'm just saying make sure clear boundaries are defined it is a platonic relationship and make sure who you ever you talking to if you can't talk to your husband or wife girlfriend boyfriend about it no whether it's family member or not that they can give you an unbiased answer or advice okay I haven't rambled on enough about this I'm done one million subscribers with a 100,000 subscribers practice on the way you may now subscribe


to you guys a lot about indie sewing patterns. It's on the first impression Friday videos are more often than not an indie pattern. The Sew Together 21 challenge is always an indie pattern and inevitably whenever I talk about these patterns I hear from people about how they just despise PDF patterns. So I always ask them why to figure out you know what is the objection and inevitably it is I don't have the time patience or desire to take together my pattern pieces or I don't like the regular printer paper that I either have to print it on at home or even if I were to pay to have it printed at a coffee shop I still don't like the paper of that. So I have solutions, I have options and I want you guys to hear me out on this because there are a lot of really great indie patterns out there nowadays and with the influx of indie patterns there's also an influx of options on how you can get your indie patterns to you printed one way or another. I talked to you guys recently about Sublime Graphics. I got a ton of feedback from that video all of it kind of like whoa I can't believe this exists and I'm excited about it too and I'm going to demonstrate and like do a little show and tell for you guys about all the options that Sublime Graphics offers because there are a lot of them and so I just want to make sure you can find the best option for you. Okay so first and foremost let's talk about the three different types of papers that they have available. We have the regular printer paper this is what you print on at home it's 20 pounds it is your coffee shop paper if you're getting your prints printed locally if you are sending them off to another plotter this is what they're coming on this is the paper that is the heaviest. Okay then we have this really lightweight paper called tissue paper so this tissue paper is a little bit different than what you would see at like in your big four patterns. So the big four patterns are printed at a place that has machines that basically does like what a newspaper does very expensive very I mean there's one machine in the entire country the entire US that is able to do that so the fact that Sublime Graphics has figured out a way to print on tissue paper is great albeit it's not the exact same tissue paper that you are familiar with with the big four that said that could be a pro for you because that tissue paper can be a little bit delicate it can rip easily and you know it has its own slew of issues like when you go to alter it and things like that so this is what the tissue paper looks like you can see kind of how transparent it is a little bit noisy and I want to point out I picked out a smaller pattern piece and you can see here that there is some bleeding on the ink but I want to call your attention like here I don't think it matters too much I can still read everything very clearly but over here especially with the small dots I don't know whatever size that is they can kind of they're not running together but they're definitely a little bit fuzzy on the edges so that's something that I wanted to point out to you but I just want to make sure you know what you're going to get whenever you order the tissue paper and we'll talk a little bit more about ink here in a second so keep ink um and then talk in your mind then we have the Goldilocks right this is the one that's in between the two of them this is called tracing paper and of the three it's what I prefer it's not quite copy paper and it's obviously not tissue paper either it's somewhere in between it has kind of like a much more smooth finish um and this is what that looks like you can see you still can't you can barely barely see through it um but it's not as stiff as your copy paper I also want to call your attention to this pattern in particular because do you see this giant rectangle in the middle and then therefore all these other smaller rectangles shooting off of it this was sent to Sublime Graphics as a tiled pattern as a print at home eight and a half by eleven trim all the edges take it all together this was sent to them that way they have a proprietary piece of software that they developed themselves that digitally tapes all of this together so you send it off to them as all these individual sheets you can even see how the you know the pages are numbered as if you taped it together at home and their software tapes it all together for you they print it out on one big sheet so it looks like you sent it over to them as a coffee shop pattern or a large format print but it's not it's all these individual tiles so if you come across a pattern and there are some that only offers the printed home option um they will tape it together for you it's not sent to you with the intention of you having to cut anything other than your size of the pattern so that handles anyone who doesn't like taping got you covered there is a surcharge for the taping um the taping uh she said is anywhere between five dollars and fifteen dollars but more often than not is just a five dollar flat rate surcharge it just depends on um it depends on a whole bunch of different factors and she can't really tell if it's going to be five or fifteen until you send her your file so there's a little spot on their website where you can upload a file and they will um send you back a quote on how much it would cost to have it printed on your paper and if it needs to be tiled and all of that kind of stuff I also want to say about the papers that if my explanation of the papers was okay but still not good enough for you to decide which one you like the best they'll send you samples I think the samples will come plain without any printing on them though so keep that in mind but um they will send you free of charge uh samples of each of the papers so that you can tell for yourself which one you like the best um okay let's talk a little bit about the inks that they use if you have ever tried to use a laser printer to print your patterns and then you've gone to iron it what happens all of the ink like wipes away it's like it never existed it's like magical paper so they have taken great care to pick specific inks that are intended to be heated inks that they know people will be using and iron on knowing that you are going to need to iron your patterns to flatten them out and get out any wrinkles or the if it comes rolled or if you store them rolled or store them folded whatever it is to get all those creases and curls they know that you're going to be applying heat to it so they use inks specifically intended for heat to be applied and it'll never come off it'll never smudge it'll never rub off on your fabric have you ever had that happen before so the fact that they are sewist and they know that this is what we're doing with the patterns sort of sets them ahead from the guy down the street that I am using I don't know what kind of ink that guy uses and I never even considered that there might be an ink that wouldn't work for what I'm doing so not all inks are created equal and you can never really tell who's using what ink but with sublime graphics you know that they are using an ink specifically for heat so you know that there is always always going to stay on the paper and never transfer to your fabric which is great okay the last little bit is shipping so you have a couple of options again lots of options which I really love but most often when you order from large format printers they are going to give you a rolled pattern they're going to roll of your sheets put it in a tube and send it off to you the tube can only be shipped priority mail so there is an additional shipping cost when it comes to shipping the tube to you at a certain point though if you're getting lots of patterns printed the tube makes sense because it's a flat rate and it doesn't matter how much it weighs and if you have a ton of patterns you can fit a whole bunch in there so you're printing a ton of patterns that makes sense if you're just getting one or two patterns though at least for me I always felt like this feels like such a waste which is why I stopped going to the other online plotters like PDF plotters and started going down the street because I was really just getting like one or two at a time so sublime graphics offers a service that is no additional charge where they will fold your patterns for you and will place them in a mailer similar to this one it's a very hard sturdy card stock or cardboard mailer so it's not going to get folded or bent or anything like that when it's being shipped to you same kind of quality of the tube it's just you know a flat mailer and so if you're getting one or two this is a better option for you because it's cheaper to ship these but she can only fit so many patterns depending on their size you know so many patterns in one of these so it's really best if you're getting just a few patterns one or two of them if you opt for the tissue paper maybe you can get a three maybe four in there um but if you're getting any more than that a tube is really going to be the best option for you but I just want to let you know that there are options you can have them folded or you can have them rolled and shipped in a tube so those are another another option that you'll see whenever you head to their website speaking of shipping Sublime Graphics has extended their coupon code for all of us ITH Spring will get you free shipping when you order five or more patterns to be printed and that's in the United States if you're international there will be a 10 discount applied to your shipping so still a little bit of a savings there um but us customers 100 free if you have them print five or more patterns so that's a really cool deal so I hope that this will show you just how easy it is to work with pdf patterns now I know in the beginning when they first started coming out they were all taped at home and maybe you tried that once you know five years ago seven years ago and got really frustrated and gave up I know I don't like it I'm not very accurate I can't do it well so I gave up on it and then whenever they started doing the copy shop formats that's when I really started getting into indie patterns you can kind of see the evolution of that through the channel and kind of the projects that I was making but now that they have this option where they'll digitally tape it together for you and you can get it printed on different types of papers and different shipping options to you know whatever makes the most sense for you economically it's really a no-brainer to be trying some of these pdf patterns join me and sew together 21 um explore some of those patterns that you're falling in love with uh when you're watching the first impression friday videos sublime graphics really has you covered and makes it so so simple so I hope that this video helped explain all of that a little bit more I am always always on the hunt for different services or products that is going to make sewing more fun easier more accurate better results
