OK, I'm not going to lie - I woke up Monday morning and said "What did I get myself into - opening an Etsy shop?" I've had my two older kids at home these past two days (the oldest one is sick, and the second one would not go to school by herself). I've been a little bit drained trying to keep up with the social media aspects of this. These kids are going back to school tomorrow (yes, I love them, but I need my space) - being full time mom and playing puzzles and rescue bots all day makes my mind go a little crazy. Despite waking up Monday feeling a bit like giving up, later in the day my Instagram account surpassed 100 followers - what a milestone.... It's been about three weeks now since I've opened my Etsy Shop for greeting cards and digital downloads for party invitations and room decor. Recap (in case you're new here to my blog) Surpassing 100 Followers on Instagram For the past three weeks, I've been non-stop trying to promote my content in posts and stories across four different social media channels (Facebook / Meta, Instagram, Pinterest, and Wix). I've been joining various Facebook groups for Etsy shop owners, Women Entrepreneurs, and Small Businesses sharing my site. I've also started physically advertising my shop more with some of my coworkers and neighbors. Hoping that will also help increase visibility into my work. I'm tired - haha! However the work is not going waste! Small Wins:
I've partnered with a church friend to help make his branding materials for communications What's Next? I've launched the Twin Dumplings Greeting Cards series with four different themes
I have a new series of greeting cards ready for release but I'm waiting for my Twin Dumplings Greeting Cards give away to end on Thursday of this week before do more. I'm waiting for my sister to finish a drawing so I can create another digital party invitation soon.
Stay tuned and plugged in on Instagram for the next following events:
Thank you all! -K
