I Started A Snail Mail Club!

I've recently been trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life and I landed the same place I always land: I want to make things. I want to create art and music and other beautiful things, and that is the only thing I can stomach doing for 40 hours a week for the rest of my life. I have spent my entire stint of adulthood hoping that a creative career will fall into my lap while not doing much creation, which is silly. They say you need to dress for the job you want, but what if I just start doing the job I want? What if I just start creating without being overly hung up on monetization and hope the rest works itself out?

My first step in this was coming up with an idea that I'm excited about that has a potential to supplement my income. I started an Etsy to sell beaded dragons, which I was very into making for like 2 and a half weeks, but I bore easily and most people don't want to spend $15 on a tiny trinket. Most people don't want to spend more than $10 on really anything these days.

On TikTok, I've learned a lot about artists starting snail mail clubs. A low-cost monthly subscription where they can send out prints and paper crafts. I really loved the idea, but I wanted it to tie into my music, and then it hit me: a song a month snail mail club, with art inspired by my songs.

I'm doing it! Each month, I'll be picking one of my songs (released or unreleased) and for $10 I'll be sending out a 5 x 7 hand-painted print, a sticker, a lyric collage postcard, a copy of the lyrics, and a link to an exclusive voice memo demo version of the song. The first month will be sent out in just a couple days and is inspired by my song Peaches!

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy and you have $10 to spare every month you can join below.

In my attempt to excise my creativity more, I'm very excited to have a project that requires me to make at least 4 pieces of art a month. Plus, I've been wanting an excuse to buy a wax seal press with a daffodil on it.
