Sharing my journey as I explore various side-hustles around POD, exploring my creative side and hopefully learning new skills.
Overdue Update
I have been busy trying to learn all about designing, including drawing my own images and of course the skill of driving traffic to my portals.
I have slowly increased my reach without spending out on adverts. There is still lots of work to do but most of my channels are now bringing visitors to my marketplace.
I have sold a product, it didn't get returned, so I'm over the moon.
I will be interested to see where things are when I have active for the year.
Why no sale
Firstly it's important to stress I'm enjoying the creating, and not really pushing the sales. I have to say though the biggest disappointment is that people I know have said they won't buy any of my designs.
I looked into this a little and it seems to be a common issue with influencers getting the support despite the fact that there is such distance between them. What is the reason behind this? I wish I knew the answer to that, and wonder why anyone would buy products from me when friends won't!
Regardless my plan is to keep designing and stacking my stores. I believe I missed the festive season this year and expect more from next year.
If you took the time to read this post, thank you for sparing the time, and if you have any insights to share, drop me a message.
Being creative.
I am well through my journey of life, hopefully with plenty of more years to come. I always thought I was logical and considered, which I was, but it made me miserable, overthinking all the time.
Not anymore, I have found joy in creating, albeit mostly using tools like Canva. I never felt artist, but it is so rewarding seeing designs come together.
