Promoting your store can be very costly and frustrating. You create something that is a part of you. You put in so much time and effort into your product. You're proud of what you created and then you ask people to share it... No one does. You ask people to follow you, no one does. It can be discouraging and you end up doubting your talent. I've been in world wide contests and have begged, bartered and gave away things simply because I needed help getting my name out there. It can be very discouraging when you ask 100 people for help and only 1 does. You believe in the product you create and are passionate about it. You simply want to have people who believe in you. Small businesses starting out are still trying to learn the ins and outs of things. I've learned a lot from those who have started their journey before I started mine. I believe in helping people because I don't want to see anyone struggle. I don't only care about my personal gain. Art for me is a piece of me and I like to think others feel the same about their work. You can't let all of the nos get to you... I know they will but you will rise above it as long as you believe you will rise above it and plus you have me. I will believe in you and help you grow because I feel that's what people should do. Keep your head up and don't ever be afraid to ask someone to help you. Most will say no but it's when you get discouraged that someone says yes and lifts your spirits. IM HERE TO SAY YES! Post your link to your store and I will follow it then share it. I'll post my store if you want to do the same for me but you don't have to. I'm only helping because I know what it's like to need help.
I hope you all are having a super blessed day and I hope this gave some of you a little more faith in humanity!
