Here we are with our slightly delayed Episode 15! We had a slight delay due to spending the weekend at MCM Comic-Con in London so we weren't able to record on Sunday as we normally would! We had an absolute blast but it's great to be back home and have a little catch up with you guys! On this week's episode:

• Celebrate a major milestone, as we received a Creator Pass for Comic-Con! So, I guess that makes us official creators, right?!
• We discuss Raven's cosplay prep for Comic-Con; how she built the wig and ears and how she recorded the whole process so there'll be a video tutorial on that on the horizon!
• We talk about about photography: diving into Pixieset - a photography service provider that I use to build and host my website, blog, client galleries, shop and studio management facilities. Getting all this back in order for a bit of a 2024 relaunch after months of silence and just how daunting that can be after taking a break!
• We also look at what's coming next with a lot of upheaval on the way. Raven has some major work commitments over the next six weeks that will have to be her main priority, so we'll be running a reduced streaming schedule but fear not, Creative Quest will still be with you every two weeks! We'll also (hopefully) FINALLY be getting the keys to our new house, which will bring a whole lot of extra work with it as well!

We've got a very busy time ahead, but we're more committed than ever to our creative endeavours so we'll be pouring our all into keeping all these plates spinning through our busiest summer ever! Thanks once again to each and every one of you that tunes in each week for more updates! May has so far been our second-most successful episode ever despite us only so far releasing one episode in May! So that's fantastic! If enough of you jump on this one before June, May may just break our records!

If you have any questions at all, or have any feedback for us, feel free to reach out at CreativeQuestContact@gmail.com and we'll get back to you!

Another Sunday, another episode! How are you all doing out there? Are you making progress in your own Creative Quests or are you running into roadblocks? We'd love to hear from you! Leave a comment below or email us as CreativeQuestContact@gmail.com.

This week we run through our latest analytics with (mostly) positive results! We have a busy time ahead preparing for Comic-con at the end of May, so most of Raven's time is being spent on con prep at the moment but we're still keeping things moving along!

We also discuss:

- The importance of coming up with a workflow for maximum efficiency and actually sticking to it: I FORGOT to stick to mine and it caused chaos and took several hours to fix and almost made me miss a deadline!

- Finally getting back out to take some new photos to prepare for some shoots next month Thank you so much to all of our listeners, whether you join us for every episode or you're just tuning in for the first time!

Hello and welcome! We've had a fantastic couple of weeks that turned out to be surprisingly productive and wonderful! This week's episode is a bit longer than usual, as we take some time to reintroduce ourselves and our intentions to any new listeners that have joined us along the way! We then move on to discuss creativity and the many ways you can potentially use yours if you just think outside the box! We're always told, "That isn't a real job" when discussing our love for art, but the truth is, that it can absolutely be a real job. So many aspects of our daily life simply wouldn't exist without art and creativity, so we take some time to discuss that!

We also discuss:

• Twitch resizing tools - a great time-saving efficiency tool
• The launch of Masterpiece Mondays and some great first results!
• Suffering a terrible video launch, but turning it from a worst-performer to a best-performer with a simple six second edit
• Enjoying the sun and finally getting behind the camera again!
• Fulfilling a life-long dream

Hello and welcome! How are you all doing out there? As promised in our last episode, we've dived head-first into paid video advertising! We ran a little experiment across YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, to see how far your money goes on each platform, how difficult they are to use, and most importantly, we find out whether or not it's worth the money!

I had a great time running this little experiment, and in this episode, we go through the entire process from start to finish and give you everything you need to know to figure out if it's worth it. So, if you're banging your head against the brick wall that is the algorithm, and you're wondering if it's worth paying to get through that wall, this is absolutely the episode for you! We enjoyed watching our views skyrocket for a week, but was it worth the cost? Was there a clear winner that makes your money go further? Let's find out!

Hello and welcome! We're rolling into Episode 11 with a fresh new look for our intro and outro! We're in good spirits this week, with another rounds of successes and failures for you to think about, so let's take a quick look at what we cover in this episode:

• February was our Podcast's most successful month so far, but March's figures more than DOUBLED February's! So a huge thanks to all our long-time listeners, as well as all our newcomers!
• Our video Shorts analysis continues, with another worst-week-ever followed by our all-time best week!
• We started work on recording our first video tutorial, and after two complete failures, the third time worked perfectly. Failure sucks, but it's also good to remember that failing is the best way to learn, so we talk a bit about that this week.
• We have started recording and editing for our second Let's Play series
• We look ahead as we plan our first paid advertising campaigns across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube to see what kind of gains can be achieved and which platform gives you the best bang for your buck, with results coming in the next episode!

We really enjoyed recording this week's episode; it gives us a chance to reflect on our successes and put things into perspective! As always. if you have any questions or feedback, please let us know at CreativeQuestContact@gmail.com, we've love to hear from you and any feedback you give will be used to make the show even better.

Hello and welcome! Can you believe we're at Episode 10 already? We can't! This episode is a bit delayed due to a slight round of sickness and burnout preventing us from presenting on our last recording date, but we're back in action now with plenty to talk about! We're keeping things positive this week, despite us being the most drained and exhausted we've ever been! So, let's take a quick look at what we're tackling this week:

• The importance of taking care of yourself by knowing when to take a step back and rest up
• The importance of celebrating your successes, no matter how small
• Staying positive and persisting with your work, even when you're not getting the results you were hoping for
• How to approach your short-form content for YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, and what to think of your results
• How Helldivers 2 is a surprise smash hit and you should absolutely play it!

Hey! Thanks for joining us once again as we take you through our 9th Episode! We've just had a whirlwind trip to London for the Nier Orchestral Concert on Valentine's Day so we're in good spirits this week! Sit down and relax as we discuss things like:

- A cute idea we've had to build some community engagement and appreciation

- A bit behind how we created some awesome thumbnails for our new Super Mario Bros. Wonder series on Youtube!

- We've finally launched our SMB Wonder series, so this is our first Let's Play series, as well as our first serious push into short marketing content! We dive deep into how well our first three trailer/highlight reels performed across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts: they have the same text and descriptions across all three channels, so which one does the best job at getting our content in front of viewers? Let's find out!

- What have we learned from checking out our analytics so far? What could we do differently? What is the best approach for rapid-fire short-form content?

- Now that we're diving deeper into YouTube, we take a look at what's required to start making money on the platform; what are the requirements to hit Partner status and how hard is it?!

This week's episode is a really good one, full of insight, especially helpful for anyone that's interested in launching content across YouTube and other platforms for marketing purposes, but we also have a lovely chat about all the fun we had in London!

Hey! Thanks for joining us once again as we roll on with our - slightly delayed - 8th Episode! We missed our last scheduled episode due to Raven feeling a bit too poorly to record two weeks ago, and we decided to wait until this weekend to record so that our release cadence stays the same and doesn't skew our entire planned calendar for the year! So with that out of the way, what are we talking about this week?

• The importance of just getting started on your creative quest, regardless of your current gear/supplies/readiness.
• The importance of consistent branding.
• Our progress on the social media front, with our biggest TikTok hit so far!
• More of our mistakes and how we've overcome them: such as correctly crediting your Spotify playlists to prevent takedown strikes, and having audio sync offsets in place so that your stream audio is in sync.
• Our progress on the YouTube push; we finally have our first six episodes of longform content ready to go with our Super Mario Bros. Wonder series launching tomorrow! Monday 05/02/24! From now on we'll have a new episode up every Monday, so please join us on YouTube to see what we've been up to, ESPECIALLY if you haven't caught our streams on Twitch!

We really have a deep dive into a lot of issues this week and really get excited about what's in the pipeline! So we hope you have a great time listening! Most importantly, we pose you a question this week, "What creative work would you like to move forward with and what has stopped you from doing it already?" We'd really love to hear from you and dive in to this topic on the next episode, so if there's a particular creative interest you've always wanted to move on with but haven't, what's stopping you?! Send your answers to CreativeQuestContact@gmail.com and we'll tackle some of your messages in the next episode!
