I came up with the idea for this children’s picture book after finding an old panda plushie and clown wig from my childhood. It was so funny to see the wig on my old panda bear that I had to make a story about it.

There are several important themes within Peter Panda, themes that affected my childhood. Accepting your appearance. Belonging with others. Fitting in. Exploration. Anti-bullying. Even within 28 pages, there is so much to show. So much to tell.

For those who have seen my previous works, the simplicity in my storytelling carries on here, giving readers only the absolute essentials in visual form.

What’s really exciting is this book can serve as an early education tool to teach numbers and colours to kids, along with the mentioned life themes.

Fun fact: 99% of a panda’s diet consists of bamboo!

I do one set of strength exercises in the following order:

Yoga stretches
Bicep curls
Squats
Shoulder presses
Deadlifts
Dips
Bent-over row
Pushups
Side + front raises

Then I do one set of abdominal exercises:

Flutter kicks (close to floor)
Plank
Crunches
In-and-outs
Bicycle kicks
Overhead ball situp
Russian twist
Leg lower + raise
Mountain climbers
Woodchoppers
Side + star plank

Making an automated email campaign that lives on forever is easy. All you need is MailChimp to set up the email format and a blog that you update regularly.

You will take the RSS feed from your blog and have it map into the email.

I run a monthly newsletter using this method, and I don’t have to manage a thing. If you have more content on your blog, you could run a more frequent campaign, i.e., weekly. Just be careful not to send too many emails, as you might lose subscribers.

Here is the template I use for email automation (feel free to use this for your campaign):

Simple Text template
Subject example: 5-Minute Fix
From: Person/Business Name
From (email): Business email
Preview text: The latest this month
Logo
Headline: 5-Minute Fix
*|RSSITEMS:|*
*|RSSITEM:TITLE|*
*|END:RSSITEMS|*

Footer:
Business name | Unsubscribe
Business mailing address (no hyperlink)
*|REWARDS|*

You may change the subject line and other variables to suit your needs. A plain-text email is all you need to get started with your first campaign. Email marketing research has shown that the simplest email tends to convert the best.
