Matilda Epstein (part 2) | Dog Name | Ep. 19

And then also, I'm still trying to figure out the ads.

Ads are really hard to do.

I've gone live on Instagram, and I'm going to do it again tonight after shows.

I think I'm just going to go live literally every single day.

I used to think that shit was so cringe, and I used to think it was so embarrassing.

But doing it, I didn't feel embarrassed, and I didn't feel cringeworthy because I'm not being corny or anything on it.

It has actively helped me sell tickets every day that I've done it.

That's interesting.

Yeah.

Also, I think it's only corny to people who are like – like we might think it's corny because we'll see a notification that's like so-and-so went live and it's someone that like we're not interested in tuning in for.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But you have people who are.

Yeah.

So they're like, oh, cool.

I'm going to join –

They want to see me and it's like – and I'm not bringing people on the live.

I'm literally just answering questions, doing stuff, trying to be funny.

But it was like on – sorry.

So Thursday when I first did it, I sold – I know for a fact there was at least two people that popped in like, hey, when are you coming to this city? And I'm like, oh, I'm going.

They're like, oh, tickets secured.

So I was like, damn, I sold – Like three tickets on Thursday.

Friday it was about seven or eight tickets to different – because it's different because what's happening is I'm getting on the lives and I think the algorithms for Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram are so bad now.

that they are not putting your shit in front of your actual followers really anymore and so if you're advertising anything like ticket sales or whatever they want you to spend money to boost the post or they want you to run ads whereas if you go a lot because like there's so many times where it's like i know for a fact that's going to happen i'm i'm going to post a clip in the next few days and someone's going to be like when are you coming to baltimore like it's literally i guess what it's happened for because so i was on the thing and there were like on Friday and yesterday, is people being like, I had people be like, when are you coming to Detroit? And I was like, I was just in Detroit.

And then I got them to join my email list so that it can happen, so that I can reach out to them again.

But it is really interesting to be like, have people, like I had people Instagram DM me the confirmation of them buying tickets.
