| Me, desperately applying myself to side-hustles |
So.
Before I launch into the changes that you will see around this Words Have Power, I just want to remind everyone that I am not a fast bloomer or an early adapter. To me, it feels very much like I'm reinventing this blog when, in fact, I'm just going to start using it for its intended purpose. I'm so far behind in this concept, I'm practically vintage.What can I say, self-promotion and public vulnerability are NOT my wheelhouse. I'm much better at self-deprecation, deflection, perhaps even... stalling?
Surely not...
Anyway - here's the general idea: I will post far more often. I will post things like book reviews, songs that move me, my latest artwork or craft project, and writing from prompts. I will post pieces of my work that are for sale and pieces of my work that are so comically horrible, they will likely become memes. I might even post videos of the work in progress; those are super-fun to watch. I will let you know what I struggle with and when I succeed. I will try to be vulnerable in a way that is true and not sugar-coated. I will integrate my Facebook shop and my Pinterest boards for more of a well-rounded presence. I will, as I said, use the blog for its intended purpose.
Right now, I'm struggling to move my handmade jewelry from my personal Facebook page to the business one. The system is clunky and slow and has repeatedly sited me for items that are against Facebook Marketplace policies when they are actually just pearl or crystal earrings. Also, I think it's easier to add items from your phone to Facebook than it is to do so from a laptop - is this on purpose? Are most people not using their laptop to handle business stuff? Typing out descriptions is so annoying on my phone.
Should be fun. Hope you come along.
I had a super long comment, but it began to feel extremely personal, so I decided not to put it here!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I wish you much success on this particular journey, and know that you are loved and supported!
It's crazy how your words feel like my thoughts. I know exactly how you feel!
In my life, I choose to hold back, but I strongly encourage you to adhere to your ambitions. At the very least, you'll come to understand yourself better and become more confident in yourself. I believe said confidence will consequently bring you great opportunities!
Oh my goodness, I just saw your comment and it means the world to me! Thank you so much, Liz! You are also loved and supported and the world needs more of YOU!
