bookmark_borderSome Old Animated Gif Graphics for Social Media Promotions

Posted on by savethesavages

This is from 2016 when I was attempting to put myself out there as a graphic designer / social media marketer on Twitter and Instagram. Below is the pitch that I wrote to go along with it. Feel free to steal my idea and see if it will work for you in 2026.

Why am I even sharing this? I noticed people are reading my old posts on marketing. So I figured I’d share more of my marketing fails and share the PSD.

Good luck.

Need Help with Your Promotions?

I had designed this initially to post on Instagram, but I know there were some other things I had to flesh out before I actually posted it. So here are some details about my offerings:

+ Please leave a note when checking out on Paypal as to what it is you’d like for me to promote – you, your website, your band, your services, etc? You can also send me an email at: shermgrafik at gmail dot com

+ I have a fulltime job so please allow for some time for me to promote you, as I won’t be able to do it right away. If you have suggestions or specific needs as to what time I should post or tweet, please let me know.

+ If you are paying for more than 1 Insta Post & Tweet, rest assured that I will space out the posts so they won’t be consecutive. I will also do my best to hashtag the posts & tweets properly in order for more people to find it.

+ I’m sure there are more things to be added here. But for now, I am keeping it simple.

Thank you!

Part of my marketing strategy for Metaphysical Vibes was to do giveaways by giving crystals & stones on occasion; it was a way to gain new followers and potential buyers to become more aware of your business, maybe motivating them to buy something later on. Most of the time though, the people who wanted something for free never really had any money and didn’t have any intention to buy later on.

Just another learning experience.

My work comes out the best when I’m doing it for something or someone…in this case one of my best friends gifted me a sketchbook to fill up and mail out by a certain time. Of course whenever I have deadlines, it motivates me to create.

Elle Stanger has been educating people while actively in the sex work industry for years. If you want to learn how to act around sex workers (online and irl), you should follow her. Because damn, a lot of you act like this EVEN around non sex workers…like idk, when a woman is just simply existing online, speaking up for herself or has an opinion you disagree with? It gets so exhausting which is why I disappear for weeks just to get people’s shitty energy off of me…

bookmark_borderVideo: Don’t Be A Content Creator in 2026

Posted on by savethesavages

Not that I have any time to do this (unless I get let go from my job like she did) but this sums up perfectly why I don’t want to be a content creator. Besides, my Midheaven in Scorpio prefers not to be seen too much while my Sagittarius sun keeps me creative but inconsistent and my Libra moon makes me indecisive about what kind of content to make and post. Sigh…seriously, it’s a neverending cycle.

I really admire Cities By Diana‘s (I’m sorry babygirl – I wish I could describe your style better) dark humor, satire and commentary on trying to survive in California and her cute-brainrot style of video graphics & editing skills very much and so I had to post this.

Dec 28, 2025: I’m going to ghost even harder for 2026…or maybe do the opposite? Anything goes at this point, amirite? If you are reading this — may you have love, money, magick, health, wealth and success on your own terms. May you be free from suffering. And so it is. Blessed be.

July 18, 2025: I have shapeshifted into another NSFW online persona. IYKYK. Stay occult, stay mysterious. Not everyone is meant to be seen or known right away. I know now that this is how I prefer to exist online. Fire and Air.

Sept 18, 2024: Still living by these words. Playing another character in this game called Life so we can continue to live where we live.

It’s February 2023 and I’m getting closer to living by these words. I pretty much can’t stand Instagram anymore. I feel like, if I’m going to waste that many hours online I might as well get paid for it.

July 2021: I posted this last year; except for the hustle part, this quote is still true for me so I’m bumping it up. I really don’t have a whole lot to say these days. The internet is weird so it’s better to move in silence…

I will say this though – it’s Leo season and I miss my favorite Leo: Roxy.

December 7, 2020: Even though social media is a big part of my day job (used to be), I’m not a fan of it as much these days. If you follow me on ANY of my Instagrams then you know I’m also not very consistent with any of them anymore. My internet life has gotten a lot quieter and I actually don’t mind. I think when I got suspended on Twitter in August 2020 (and it was for good btw, even though Twitter said in an email that I didn’t actually commit any violations ((ok, then wtf))), it gave me time to really think about what it is I enjoy doing.

And right now, social media annoys tf outta me, I find that I need more frequent breaks from it. I don’t have the same attention span. Which is why I haven’t been posting as much. It’s not directed towards anyone in particular either, I still scroll daily but not as much.

Also, since the top social media platforms have been heavy handed with the censorship, it’s pointless for me to promote anything adult. So in some ways, it’s pointless to post on social media.

I really like writing and meditation. And yes, even blogging (I still hate that word). It gives me time to hear myself instead of hearing everyone on Instagram or Twitter.

So yeah, I found this on Ice-T’s Instagram. It says:

Become a ghost.

Fuck attention. Just hustle.

p.s. I miss my ghost friend, Roxy???? – she loved to blog.
