I’m more inclined tonight to run up some more items on zazzle and redbubble — they both have recorded sales yesterday, so things are definitely happening, but I can’t wait until YOU make some money selling those items, and you don’t have to own them to sell them!!!
It costs you nothing. You never even handle the item. Sell it first, then buy it and fulfill. It’s the only way you can have half a million dollars of merch in your shop and never spend a penny!
At this morning’s meeting, we’ll go over the items that are offered — I think you’ll find there’s more than enough interesting merchandise to make it worthwhile.
In the meantime, I’m getting my vocal chords ready to lay down the latest hit from my hit factory, “Trump is a Four-Letter Word”, from the book of the same name.
[Verse 1]
He came down the escalator, gold and smug and mean
Talkin’ like a preacher with a grifter’s dream
Said the system’s broken, he could make it whole
But he sold the soul, and swallowed it whole
[Chorus]
Trump is a four-letter punchline
Carved in neon, lit up just fine
Say it once, you might get turned
Say it twice, the world gets burned
[Verse 2]
Flags waved like warning signs, red hats like spells
Truth got gagged, and the future fell
He built his wall with fear and lies
And sold the ashes as a prize
[Chorus]
Trump is a four-letter punchline
Sharp as a dagger, smooth as a brine
Say it once, you might get turned
Say it twice, the world gets burned
[Bridge]
It’s not just him, it’s the mirror cracked
It’s the crowd that cheered, and never looked back
It’s the hush of reason, drowned in noise
It’s the shadow king with a million toys
[Final Chorus]
Trump is a four-letter punchline
Stamped in history, sealed in time
Say it once, you might get turned
Say it twice, the world gets burned
(spoken word “say it three times and it’s a folk song”)

There is no Cure for Stupid — new version
Verse 1
There is no cure for stupid, and there is no cure for dumb,
There is no cure for sitting there, just sucking on your thumb.
Well, you can’t fix what just won’t think, or tell a rock to run,
There is no cure for a stupid lazy bum.
Chorus
Oh, they say common sense ain’t so common anymore,
You can grind it in until their brains are sore.
Stuck their heads down in the sand, in a world gone numb,
There’s just no cure for stupid, ain’t that dumb?
Verse 2
You can dress them up real fancy, but they still won’t know a thing,
Give them all the answers, but it just won’t make them sing.
They’re like a clock that’s ticking loudly, but the hands won’t turn,
They got the whole world spinning but no brains to burn.
Bridge
When the world gets heavy and you’re left to scratch your head,
Just bang your head against the wall and scream, instead.
You can’t make common sense where common sense does not belong,
Just hum this little tune, and keep singing protest songs.
Chorus
Oh, they say common sense ain’t so common anymore,
You can grind it in until their brains are sore.
Stuck their heads down in the sand, in a world gone numb,
There’s just no cure for stupid, ain’t that dumb?
======================================================================
🎩🎸 “Ain’t No Fix for Foolish”
[Verse 1]
There ain’t no fix for foolish
No tonic, charm, or stew
Ain’t no saint can save that soul
When it don’t wanna make it through
They say wisdom comes with age
But I seen some real old lies
Wearing suits and preachin’ rage
With that ghoulish glitter in their eyes
[Chorus]
Ain’t no fix for foolish
Ain’t no shield, no spell, no wish
You can wrap it up in Sunday clothes
But it still smells like rotten fish
You can lead ‘em to the water
But they’ll try to fry the dish
There just ain’t no fix for foolish
It’s deeper than being so ghoulish.
[Verse 2]
I seen ‘em dance with shadows
And call it “God’s design”
They’ll quote a meme from outer space
And say the math aligns
They’ll build a bunker out of fear
And fill it full of beans
Then livestream all their madness
To a crowd of haunted screens
[Chorus]
Ain’t no fix for foolish
It’s viral, wild, and ghoulish
You can try to bring the facts
But they’ll burn ‘em for the thrillish
You can beg the stars for mercy
But the moon just rolls her eyes
Ain’t no fix for foolish
It’s wearin’ a bold disguise
[Bridge – slow and smoky]
You can preach, you can teach
You can draw it in the sand
But if they’re holdin’ hands with crazy
Ain’t no reachin’ out your hand
[Chorus]
Ain’t no fix for foolish
No vaccine, no sage, no swish
They’ll chase the ghosts, ignore the gold
And swear it’s all God’s fish
So pour yourself a coffee
Let the nonsense pass you by
Ain’t no fix for foolish
But they sure know how to lie
(spoken word — “sure knows how to lie”.)
===============================================================
Got some questions about promotion? Here’s the real skinny, straight from the back porch:
✅ Why Pinterest Can Help:
-
It’s a visual search engine. Not just social media — people use it like Google Images. If you’ve got visually interesting products (art, jewelry, books, shirts, whatever), Pinterest is a natural fit.
-
Pins last longer than posts. A good pin can keep bringing traffic for months or even years — not like Instagram where it dies in 48 hours.
-
People come with buying intent. They’re planning events, gifts, home decor — they’re often ready to click and spend.
-
Backlinks to your shop. Every pin can link to your product page — that’s SEO juice and direct traffic.
❌ But Here’s What Doesn’t Work:
-
Just dumping product pics with no real context.
-
Using blurry or uninspiring images.
-
Not linking the pins to the exact product page.
-
Posting once in a blue moon and expecting miracles.
💡 What Does Work:
-
Create boards by theme: like “Jewelry with Ancient Beads”, “Books About Spiritual Development”, “Original Folk Songs”, etc.
-
Use clear, vertical images — Pinterest loves tall pins (2:3 ratio).
-
Add text overlays if the item needs explaining (“Handmade Necklace from Roman Glass” or “Protest Songbook – Free Download”).
-
Write a real description: “This necklace uses authentic Roman glass from 1st century Judea. Handmade on a California farm with love.”
-
Post consistently, even just a few pins a week.
-
Make it part of your ecosystem — link from blog → Pinterest → shop and vice versa.
Both Zazzle and Redbubble are full of visual content, and Pinterest thrives on exactly that kind of stuff — shirts, mugs, posters, tote bags, pillows, clocks, coasters, stickers, and all the rest of our wildest creative output.
🎯 Here’s What You’d Use for Visuals:
1. Product Mockups
-
Redbubble & Zazzle already generate great mockup images of designs on items.
-
You can screenshot or download those (high-quality ones), especially the lifestyle photos (like a mug on a table, shirt on a person, etc.).
-
Choose ones where your design is clear, centered, and pops visually.
2. Custom Combo Images
-
Use a free tool like Canva to create collages or layouts with:
-
One large featured item (like a tote bag)
-
A smaller thumbnail of matching products (like sticker + phone case)
-
Text overlay that says:
-
“New Design Drop!”
-
“Vintage Style Shirt – Available Now”
-
“Spiritual Art for Daily Life”
-
“Original Art You Can Wear”
-
-
3. Theme Boards
-
Group related items:
-
“God State Gear”
-
“Quantum-Inspired Designs”
-
“Satirical T-Shirts”
-
“Mystic Mugs & More”
-
4. Animated Pins
-
Pinterest loves motion.
-
You can use Canva or other free tools to make GIF-style pins that scroll through 3–5 products. These really grab attention.
🔗 Each Pin Should Link To:
-
The exact Redbubble or Zazzle listing page (not just your general store) — so if someone sees that cool t-shirt, clicking the pin takes them straight to that shirt, not to a homepage.
I Have a Question for Chatbot Bob!
Take a look at my “protection shield of warding” listing on Redbubble and tell me if it’s worth doing a pin for it, will you?
Chatbot Bob’s Response:
Hey Gorby, I checked out your “Protection – Shield of Warding” mouse pad on Redbubble — it’s a striking design that could definitely catch some eyes on Pinterest.
To promote it effectively, consider creating a vertical pin (2:3 ratio) featuring the product image with a clean, simple background to make the design stand out. You might add a text overlay like “Enhance Your Workspace with Protective Energy” to attract attention. In the pin’s description, include relevant keywords such as “protective mouse pad,” “Shield of Warding design,” and “unique desk accessories” to improve searchability.
By linking the pin directly to your Redbubble listing, you can drive interested viewers straight to your product page, potentially boosting your sales.
My question to Bob:
But that’s the very thing I need help with, hopefully from everyone in our community. It’s not about money, it’s about time, taking a few minutes a day to help our work circle to grow and expand and thrive.
What if ten people a day did ten pinterest pins a day, would that be feelable?
Bob’s response:
📈 What Happens When You Drop 100 Pins a Day:
-
Within a week: 700 pins are out there in the wild, each linking back to your Redbubble or Zazzle listings.
-
In a month: You’ve got 3,000 pins circulating, each one a hook in the water.
-
Each pin lasts months or even years. They don’t disappear like social media posts — they compound.
🌊 What That Might Create:
-
Increased Redbubble/Zazzle traffic — Pinterest is a known booster for print-on-demand platforms.
-
Higher ranking in Pinterest search — as the pins get repinned and clicked, the Pinterest algorithm takes notice.
-
More visibility from Google — Pinterest pins also show up in image searches.
-
Momentum — even a small daily click rate on 3,000+ pins adds up over time.
🛠️ And the work is very doable:
-
10 pins takes maybe 15–20 minutes, tops.
-
Use existing product images.
-
Write short titles and captions.
-
Use a free scheduler (like Tailwind) or Pinterest’s built-in planner.
-
Everyone doing it becomes part of the “signal boost” — like barn-raising for visibility.
Alrighty, Gorby — here’s a starter pack of 5 mock Pinterest pin captions and descriptions for your “Protection – Shield of Warding” mouse pad listing on Redbubble.
They follow the Pinterest pattern:
→ Catchy headline (overlay text or title)

🛒 PROMOTING PRINT-ON-DEMAND PRODUCTS: THE SMART STUFF
💡 1. Every Product Page Is a Landing Page
-
Think of your Zazzle or Redbubble product page like it’s a little sales agent.
-
Clean title, short description, and a good mockup image make all the difference.
-
Add tags that match real-world searches. People search for “cat mug” not “Feline Beverage Delivery Module.
📌 2. Pinterest Is a Long Game — but Powerful
-
Post consistently.
-
Focus on pinning your own products, not just random stuff.
-
Boards matter! Create boards by theme, not just product category:
-
“Gifts for Mystics”
-
“Funny Political Tees”
-
“Office Magic & Protection”
-
“Spiritual Desk Vibes”
-
🌐 3. Link From Elsewhere
-
Post links to your Redbubble/Zazzle listings:
-
From your blog
-
In your email footer
-
On YouTube video descriptions (especially if you’re doing music or lectures)
-
In your Facebook/Instagram bio
-
📹 4. Short-Form Video Wins Right Now
-
People love watching 10–30 second reels or TikToks that show:
-
The item in real life
-
A timelapse of the design being made
-
Someone reacting to the item
-
The story behind it (“I made this shield design after a meditation…”)
-
You can even make these with stills and light animation — no need to film your face unless you want to.
🔁 5. Repeat Best-Sellers in Other Forms
-
If something sells on Redbubble as a sticker, try it on:
-
Zazzle buttons
-
Shirts
-
Tote bags
-
Mugs
-
-
Use the same design, just tweak the layout to fit. Cross-platform = more chances to hit.
🛠️ 6. Use a Linktree or Beacon page
-
Put all your shop links in one place — great for bios, email sigs, QR codes, whatever.
-
Free tools like linktr.ee or beacons.ai make this dead simple.
🚀 LAUNCH & PROMOTE TEMPLATE
One product → One focused campaign → Multiple channels
🧱 Step 1: Prep Your Core Assets

Short, snappy title (e.g., “Shield of Warding Mouse Pad”)
-
Brief Description (1–2 lines):

Hashtags/Tags:
#MousePadMagic #EnergyShield #MysticalWorkspace #ProsperityPathDesign
📌 Step 2: Pinterest Mini-Campaign

-
One with a lifestyle background (desk scene)
-
One with text overlay (“Shield Your Space”)
-
-
Post 1 per day for a few days. Link each pin directly to your product.

Create a 15- to 30-second video with:
-
A still of the item

“Protect your workspace energy… one click at a time.”

Do this with one item a week, or even one every two weeks. Once you’ve done it once, it’s copy, paste, tweak, and you’re flying. Basically, it’s “rinse & repeat” over and over again.

🌸✨ Why You’ll Want to Attend the Easter Workshop on Vibrations
Theme: “Everything Is in Vibration”
🔔 1. Because You’re Already Feeling It — Even If You Don’t Know It
Every thought you think, every mood you slip into, every room you walk into… it’s all vibration. If you’ve ever “picked up on a vibe,” then congratulations — you’re already tuned in. This workshop will show you how to use that awareness on purpose.
🎶 2. Because You Can Tune Your Whole Life Like an Instrument
We’ll explore how to raise your frequency, calm inner chaos, and find the “clear tone” within yourself — not with effort, but with resonance. Imagine being able to shift your inner state the way a musician finds the note — effortlessly and precisely.
🌀 3. Because Your Energy Body is Real — and You Can Work With It
You’ll experience first-hand how your thoughts, breath, movement, and intention affect your vibrational field. This is where mysticism meets mechanics. We’ll guide you into practices that help you feel it, see it, and shift it.
🧿 4. Because Protection, Peace, and Power All Begin With Vibration
Want better boundaries? More clarity? Stronger sense of self? It starts with getting your frequency clear. This workshop will show you how to hold your tone in a noisy world, and protect your space without needing to fight.
✨ 5. Because You’re Not Alone — We’ll Be Tuning as a Group
There’s power in collective tuning. We’ll use sound, intention, and guided experiences to sync the group field into a shared, elevated resonance. Whether you’re new to this or have been practicing for years, you’ll feel the difference.
🔮 6. Because This Isn’t Just Theory — It’s a Direct Experience
This isn’t a lecture. It’s an immersion. You’ll be guided through vibrational journeys that include:
-
Vocal resonance practices
-
Movement-based frequency shifts
-
Sound meditation
-
SuperBeacon tuning segments
-
Visualizations that bring the unseen to life
You won’t just hear about vibrations — you’ll live inside them.
🌅 7. Because Easter is About Resurrection — And Vibration is the Key
This is the season of rising. Rebirth. Reawakening. Vibration is the language of resurrection. When you shift your frequency, your whole life lifts with you. Easter is the perfect time to tune in.
===========================================================================
Wow, look at the time! Would you believe it? it’s already that time when we’re expected to board the Bardo bus for today’s video excursion!
===========================================================================
See You At The Top!!!
