The confusion about sales and marketing online and inside cosplay can lead to More followers – more justification – more arguing – more deciding who is right and who is wrong.  It can get really political and have nothing to do with Cosplay at all - it can have a lot more to do with gaining ground on a free to use platform (mostly...free to use).  Today let's think about the real reasons why you came to build this photo and video sharing page for Cosplay.

Cosplayers get on soapboxes. It happens. Cancel culture – you’re against it…so why are you on a soapbox? In this episode, we're going to talk about Cosplayers getting outside of cosplay and using their platform to discuss topics for which they may or may not have much information and facts to discuss, but form an opinion and use their following to change belief and values.

There's a method and a formula to making your budget work for Cosplay.  There is a definite discipline when looking to invest into yourself and into Cosplay. It's an expense. It's not always necessary to gain something or break even on a Cosplay hobby, but one thing you do not want to do is go into debt just to try and compete with the mainstream cosplayers out there.

Anyone? Anyone?  Cosplay Economics.

The rising costs of well...everything...have made it more difficult than ever to break in and create anything in the maker space.  Our hobbies are usually the first thing to go. Let's break from that mindset and see exactly what you need to do to scale, maintain, and work towards the most important return there is in cosplay - being happy with what you're doing.

Cosplay is expensive in every way – it takes its toll on YOU, not just your finances! We spend on so much just to learn how to do something that makes our need to dress up like our favorite fandom come true.  Of course we don't stop there - it's a whole platform and feels a lot like a business, being in the public eye, an influencer, a creator, and a Cosplayer.

Let's talk about the Cost of doing Cosplay this week.

AI has a chance to take over the online space, and render all of us creators obsolete. We can use tools to enhance our platform, and there are some really awesome solutions coming our way. The trouble is, being stubborn, and rejecting the changes could lead to becoming irrelevant in a space that wants to jump to the cutting edge to get more and more content to larger and larger audiences.  You want your creations - digital or made - to be seen.

If you're a maker - be a maker.  You can leverage the tools to bring more people to your craft and art.

Has ChatGPT taken over for Cosplay? It can certainly be helpful. It can do a lot of the thinking for you.  Many say it is dangerous and progressing at a pace we can't comprehend. 

AI is here to stay, Cosplay. This week we're exploring the benefits of using AI as a cosplayer and what you may still want to avoid or think about in the future as tools like ChatGPT begin to take over many of the tasks involved with creating an online cosplay platform.
