Apparently I need to know more than just canva to be able to design. I have to admit I never wanted to learn photoshop and every chance I got to not learn it, you bet I took it. But somehow, here I am in a dilemma. Well really it’s not a dilemma as such since obviously I have to learn photoshop in order to create designs. I’m just trying to find an excuse to convince myself to once again skip it, but we both know I can’t. Such is the cycle of life.
So I finally uploaded my first 5 designs after a day or two of fumbling with photoshop. I’m still learning a few tricks and I’ve started getting alittle more comfortable with it hopefully I’ll be a pro soon. I will most definately be uploading more in the coming weeks. Okay, so far so good, everything looks good as far as I know and we are ready to make some ”dallaz”.
Now something’s bothering me about this redbubble site. There isn’t any way to know how your products are performing. I don’t even know whether my products got impressions or not. There’s really no way of telling how your products are doing except from the number of sales you make. I find this quite inadequate and a tad bit annoying. Like what can I do without metrics, when I’m kind of a math nerd? There’s no way to measure my progress and that’s just something my OCD can’t get over.
I might just be missing something since I only joined the platform like yesterday. If there is, then I’m doing a very bad job of navigating the site and it shows. It might also come from my urge for validation or even lack of patience. Let me just give it a bit of time to see how it goes.
In other news, I’ve been flirting with the idea of starting a YouTube channel for some time now. I’m still not sure, what with my anxiety and the gift of being too self-aware, and being uncomfortable infront of a camera. I just don’t know. I’ll give it a bit more thought albeit reluctantly. Also, I’m looking at starting a blog to promote the t-shirts using content creation. This way I can also capitalize on adsense and later affiliate marketing. I like this idea since it’s kinda like a long-term strategy. It will definately take more work in the begining but once the foundation is built, its a little easier from there.
By the way, I hope you are taking some of these actions with me, don’t just be a passive reader (I should put that on a t-shirt). This is a long-term thing and I’m really not looking to make much in the beginning, but it will definately pay off in a year or so. Honestly this is how business works, it takes time. Although, not necessarily when you have a comfortable marketing budget.
As always destroy the like button below and comment “not a passive reader” in the sections beneath this post. Cheerio!!
