Hello again!
So when I started this idea of selling my crafts I thought I would come up with a brand name, set up an Etsy and some social media and hey presto it would do the work itself. But as I did some more research I realised that if you don’t actually work on it plug it etc no one will see it. I found a free course on how to sell yourself on social media, how to post when to post use of hashtags etc. It was a real eye opener.
As a result I feel as though all I’ve done throughout may is plan and schedule and list items using the best techniques I could to draw in some interest. This isn’t about money, but if I didn’t sell anything what’s the point? This has also played on my anxiety a bit, what if no one like it? What if people think this is a stupid idea? What if they think all I want or care about is money ? Even this blog, will everyone just think why does she think anyone will be interested in reading this?
I’m trying to think of it as this is good to challenge myself like this, because there will be people out there who think this is stupid or a waste of time. They may even tell me so. So what that is their opinion and they are entitled to it. I need to just keep moving forward as people set up these things all the time this is completely normal.
By the time you read this the Etsy and Facebook stores will be live and hopefully all functioning as they should. Why not check them out?
I’m excited for everyone to see the items I’ve made. I’m also excited to make more! I made a new trinket box tonight for the first time so can’t wait to unmould that and see how it came out! I forgot to video myself pouring it (a social media idea I had) it’s these little adjustments and things to think about so that I can create the content required. Just means I will have to pour something soon again ! Haha any excuse!
Hope you enjoyed my second blog (hopefully I’m getting better ! See you soon x
