Same Day Scribbles now available every Saturday [& mooooore]

General
I enjoyed those quick, cheap, 24-hour turnaround doodles! I enjoyed them so much that I'd like to challenge myself to opening 5 slots for them every Saturday for the foreseeable future. More affordable art for you guys, more practice and intrigue for me. If this changes I'll let ya know, and doubtlessly I'll miss some weeks just because life will demand it sometimes, but for now let's see how it goes!
Also, my typical slot types will be reopening within a few hours of my posting this. Those are harder to schedule regularly given I like to have each slot filled and each order completed before reopening them, but I'll be considering how to go about that in a more structured, predictable way so it's easy on me as well as convenient for you folks. Any suggestions, especially from other artists who do freelance like this, would be deeply appreciated.
BTW, I'd like a bit of advice on a related matter: anyone got any good ideas on how to keep my clients and potential clients aware of when regular slots are opened? I really don't just wanna spam you all with adverts and reminders... kinda feels like I'm cramming my stuff down peoples' throats when I do that. :/ I still have a lot to learn about how Ko-Fi works so I'm assuming my followers over there are alerted? Again, just any suggestions or ideas would be useful. I'll keep brainstorming myself.
Business shit aside, all in all I'm rather content to be getting back into regular art work again, even if it's "just" these lowkey commissions for individual clients. I feel like I always learn a lot and get the chance to work with a lot of interesting designs when I do it, and I'm grateful to have the privilege of both making $$$ from my craft and to have cultivated a small following of people who enable me to do that. For real, I dunno what I did to deserve you people. Thank you.
alright reel it in lmao kay thats it buhbye

Hopefully I can get one next Saturday! :D also I don't feel like you're spamming any of your watchers/clients, at least not from my perspective. People genuinely do want to be made aware when slots and the like are opened! So long as it's in moderation, I think it's all grand ^_^ And yes, I do think Ko-fi followers are alerted! I usually get notifications when someone on Ko-fi that I follow has a new item up for sale or new commission slots available, but it's specifically through email I believe

OP
thanks so much for the comment! it's very useful to have this kinda feedback. going forward i think i'll use reminders, just keep 'em few and far between. i'd be very pleased to work with you in future if you can snag a slot ;]
