The problem is that I'm horrible at self-promotion. I'm just not wired that way. I completely shy away from any talk of myself or my work. I can promote clients' work 24/7, but when it comes to putting my own name out there, I'm a disaster. Maybe this Etsy Shop is a good thing for me; a smaller audience to get my feet wet before I dive into the deep end. Let's see what February has to offer.
I'm trying something new this week...as part of my 2016 business plan, I've decided to launch an Etsy Shop to sell a selection of my stock photos. The decision was based on a conversation my husband and I had last week. I've been looking for a platform to sell photos, but nothing seems to be a good fit. He suggested Etsy. Knowing only that Etsy is primarily for selling artsy/crafty, handmade items, I was hesitant, but curious. I did a little research and found that several photographers display and sell their work here. So I signed up. And so far I've had 12 views...half of which were of my own doing. But I'll let it ride.
