Creative Quest #20: 1 Year Anniversary Celebration With Our BIGGEST NEWS YET!

Episode 20! ONE YEAR PODCASTAVERSARY! How has it already been a whole year since we started this?! We started this podcast with three main objectives in mind: to journal our creative quest, to keep ourselves accountable and to share all the helpful tips we learn along the way, and so far, it's worked out pretty damn well for us! Thankfully, by sheer coincidence, we arrive at this one year milestone with our biggest cause for celebration so far by smashing one of our major goals! So hit Play and find out what's happened! We also discuss:

• How amazing Disneyland Paris is
• How wonderful French baguettes are (Can you guess where we've just been?)
• How well the house is coming along
• The insane amount of hard work we have laid out over the next month

If you're new here; we're Raven and Faranir and we are on a quest to break free from the 9-5 grind and live a more fulfilling life. This podcast is basically our progress journal. We can't give you all the answers on how to achieve your creative goals, as we haven't done it yet ourselves! We're still finding our feet, starting from the beginning and working our way up. Let us break down what kind of things we cover:

- Creating YouTube videos: how we record our streams and create videos from them - editing in Premiere Pro, creating thumbnails, monitoring analytics, etc.

- Streaming on Twitch: What kind of gear do you need to get started? How have we improved our streams over time? Monitoring growth through analytics, How to become a Twitch Affiliate and start making money and even better, how to become a Twitch Partner and make even more money! We're still working on that last one...

- Building a social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok: comparing results across each platform to see which ones can yield the best results as well as what impact paid advertising has through each one.

- Art and design: Raven creates all of our art assets herself; all the logos, title cards, intros, outros, thumbnails, etc. so we often dive into how important this is and what tools are available to help.

- Motivation and Encouragement: We often dig into motivational rants and encourage our listeners to pursue their passions in life and to not let anything hold them back.

- We also dive into topics such as Photography, Audio Engineering, and general tech talk for platforms like OBS, Canva, Lightroom, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro.

Making this podcast keeps us on track and holds us to account: it pushes us to keep doing better and improving ourselves and our results, and our hope is that it will also help you in your own creative endeavours. We can show you what's working for us, and what absolutely does NOT work for us; so that you can spend your time and money on the things that will give you the most benefits.

If you have any questions about our work or processes, any requests for topics to cover in future episodes, or any feedback at all (good or bad! It all helps!), please don't hesitate to reach out! Email us at [e-mail] and we'll get back to you. We'd love to hear from you! If you want to follow us on any other channels or socials, you'll find them all at the link below!
