i've no friends...

Over the last week or two I have done few experiments on Social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram promoting my post and buying followers.

This bloody social media is so huge part of everyday life these days that if I want to get what I do with my Craft out there I have to participate and mingle in Facebook, Insta, Pinterest and many more which I don't know and don't think have any time for more than I am on already.

Picture
You see, I'm not that outgoing talking to everyone on the bus person and I don't owe many friends on Facebook. Well, I decided to pay some money to boost my unpopularity.​

If you read feedback or reviews about getting follows and engagements, and they say they are not real people that engage then I say it is true.
Going back to my boosted post from my business page which is my platform for sharing decors and artistic endaviours I wanted to go further and seen more. 

People who liked my post cannot be invited to like my page and no one actually checked out anything else on the page. Maybe two people... and whats interesting! Engagements by women costed twice as much that mens! That's how you do business DCA!

At the moment I'm testing Insta thing. Will see how it goes. At the moment, zilch. I think they have missed my order so I will probably will have to contact them mysterious people in Canada to get some job done for my dollar. Hopefully I wont get into much trouble from admins indasky who can put cross over to my fruits in WWW.  
And then I promise I will rest my curiosity and just keep crafting!

P.S. I hate to repeat but all photos are taken by me and all those sweet artistic little pieces I made, you can buy!
Don't be shy like me and put your fingers on texting machine and let me know  if you want them.

i was hoovering over my google drive which i use for storing pictures i take with my precious Nikon realizing that i don't showcase so many of my makes. 
well, i should decide where to put my time and attention as now when i'm on instagram, facebook, etsy, photo camera, phone and my dear website i'm loosing my ends and feeling very frustrated that I can't focus on making things instead of running after "likes". 
i believe, no news there! sadly it's just struggle of modern life !
all right i meant to talk about my forgotten sections of website - gallery.

link to selection of my Christmas works 2017 will be available here.

holly molly, the long one indeed! I have a suspicion that I'm not the only person wishing life away this january.. I see that often expressed on instagram, so it must be widespread!
So to catch up a little bit, there is my post on the last day of january 2018

If you can dream it you can do it!

​not available

not morning person

not talking in the mornings

is it any crime to be an owl? possibly not!

but you all know that life trows all kinds of time schedules at you during your life time.

On a large scale I don't mind early mornings or late nights when there is a routine and consistency. Lately there is not and I'm adapting or if I'm honest ignoring. I bought this book by Sarah Knight "The life changing magic of not giving a f**k"

It is an amazing book! I would f****ng recommend to anyone who sometimes at least once feels like burning out.
Picture
When I feel like giving a f**k away for nothing .... I tell to myself - Will this matter tomorrow if I will be dead?!

I guess you know the answer!

Thanks Sarah Knight!

Chat to you soon

am i under-pricing my products?!

Some times ... or rather often I think if I have priced my makes right, too low or maybe too high?!

This one is eternal question for crafts people. Especially for newbies :) particularly for newbies and those who doesn't depend on income from craft business... like me thankfully. 

Because if I would be dependent of it then I would be bankrupt very soon. Like many artistic people are poor in finance side of business, forgive me my assumptions. I am perfect example.
I spend a lot of time on my makes but almost newer count it in the price of the final product. I find excuse that this is only hobby for me and indeed it is. It is very therapeutic and relaxing for me. 
The tend to tell myself it's not that difficult to make. I know! But it takes a lot of time and attention to detail. It is easy for me because I know what I want to achieve with numerous layers of paint and sanding it off and off again.

Customer might not look for cheap product but for quality piece. And real proper quality item might not just come across like one if it is priced wrong.

​So what we have learned?
​
Do not under price yourself and your talents, and your time.
​
So do not to be afraid to put a price on your stuff, Dace! :))))

p.s. don't forget to visit my Etsy shop and scroll true my makes :)
