Have you ever tried recording your dreams as soon as you wake up? I tried this last week and after reading the things I wrote in my journal, I’m convinced without a shadow of a doubt that I am an alien. Yap, absolutely, 100%, no doubt in my mind. I mean who dreams about those kinda things? I’m honestly “shook”. I should be dreaming of normal things like getting an A on a math test or acing a chemistry quiz. What’s that? Normal people don’t dream those either? Okay, I guess it’s just me then.
Anywho, I hope you had a great week, if you didn’t and you’re reading this, then you have another chance this week. Just take it a step at a time, it’s okay to have bad days or even weeks, what’s not okay is sitting and nursing our failures. I read somewhere that people who succeed and worked hard (I prefer working smart) to get where they are now don’t even celebrate because they know the real success was overcoming those bad days and keeping the momentum going even though it seemed like they would fail.
So, I finally opened a youtube channel, something I have been putting off for a while now. Granted, I haven’t uploaded any video yet as I’m still stuck in analysis paralysis and wanting everything to be perfect, it’s still a move in the right direction. Also, my camera shyness might be a major factor in my stalling tactics. The link will be at the end of this post, follow the channel if you wanna encourage me to go ahead and do it.
Now let’s summarize last week’s events and see what went down and what I’ve done so far. So I started tracking the email contacts of prospective clients and I’ve sent like 18 contacts, gotten 3 replies, and lost 3 (mainly because their emails aren’t working anymore). Of the 3 who replied only one asked for my proposal while the others haven’t gotten back to me yet. So fingers crossed on those. Of the 12 none of them have even sent a message acknowledging the receipt of my email. So that’s a bummer! I will still be contacting others this week so hopefully, some will turn up.
Fiverr is still slow, with no order despite a 15% increase in impressions. I’m still not sure how to go about it. I might try researching a bit to see how others got their first orders. Or maybe I should change the gigs altogether. I don’t know. We’ll see.
Last week I didn’t get any favorites on Redbubble (sad face emoji) but I uploaded about 15 more designs, so that’s something. I also got on Twitter and Instagram to open accounts for my Redbubble shop. So far I have about 13 followers on Instagram and almost 11 or 10 on Twitter, and I’m hoping to grow to 50 this week.
Other than that, still, no sales as the balance above is still intact. I have a really good feeling about the Twitter and Instagram thing though, I think we might see our first sales coming from there.
As always smash the like button below. I see we are steadily growing almost at 220, nice! Much love and appreciation to all of you. You always make my day even though we don’t see or speak to each other on a one-on-one basis. Subscribe to our youtube channel to push us to our first video. Thanks!!
