TT or Tedious Tasks: Internet cleanup

One of the tasks I set myself to do was to do a swipe over the internet. I searched my name and shop's name on Google, Bing and social media sites -including YouTube - and found old accounts I wasn't aware were still there.🙈

So now, in order to make them look more as a part of a whole, I am :
  • Deleting the ones I won't use (Flickr ,anyone?)
  • Updating profile photos/cover photos  of the ones I don't use but could potentially do in the future.
  • Deleting tweets ,followers that are no relevant and likes from both my personal and shop Twitter accounts  ( I am so grateful I have never been too active on Twitter! Even though that needs to change...)
  • Look/delete into saved links or posts on Instagram and Facebook accounts.
  • Check pins on my Pinterest boards and delete the ones that are not appropriate.
  • Delete the majority the photos and posts on my  Facebook like Page.
It might look easy but it's tedious and time consuming. Many of these tasks are. That is why I alternate them with drawing, or watching some YouTube videos, or procrastination in general.This is all maintenance and clean up stuff. I haven't gone into content strategy, design of banners or images, programming posts -yet!

Just to let you know how many accounts I need to review:
  • YouTube: personal & Tisetas
  • Instagram: personal & Tisetas.
  • Facebook: personal & Tisetas.
  • Pinterest: personal & Tisetas.
  • Twitter: personal & Tisetas.
  • Blog in BlogSpot. (this one that you are reading!) 
  • TOTAL: 11 accounts.
Easy peasy, right? Or in Spanish: moco de pavo ( peacock mucus)😅

Breaking a big goal into smaller ones

Once I have decided my main goal , I need little stepping stones to reach it. There are many things who have to be done in order to have a shop or live from my work. Specially when I have a regular payed job, no savings , I live in one of the most expensive cities in the world and I like to go to concerts, musicals, eating out or short trips every now and then. Since I don't think I will get a big lump sum so I can leave my job for some time and have a go at it, these are the steps I have in mind : Renew designs. Create new products with its packaging.  Increase online presence . Produce a catalogue and send to shops. Look up about trade shows or events. See if I can go to bigger markets. See if I can rent a space in a shop for some time or a pop up shop for 2 weeks. I would need some steady income from my online shop, equal to at least over £500 a month in order to continue from here to: Drop days at my current job. Rent office space so I can store my things be...

How am I going to renew my shop? Steps I am planning to take.

How  to start?It is easy to access to information these days. Lots of tricks, tips, advices, free and payed for. Ideas, stories...It can be overwhelming -it is for me!. I get easily distracted, I can find that I want to do everything at once and have no patience for the process. Last  year I was using DPD (Dream Plan Do) and doing lists to try to organize myself. And sort out my priorities. It helped me but also I think I overdid it , so in the end I didn't cross many items of those lists, I forgot to look at them, I got stressed because I seemed to be stuck... I am still terrible at it at having a full time job is quite limiting. This time I will keep on working with DPD and lists but I am also trying to take one thing at a time and create solid foundations for what I want to do. I won't be rushing myself, as long as I keep on working on it with some kind of regularity. Here's my list: Basic foundations : values, mission, colors, look and feel, objective...

Searching and finding my USP : Unique selling point.

In order to find your own space in a very busy market place such as the internet, or a saturated market like stationery, you need to make yourself stand out in some way so people buy your products. That's what's called the USP, or unique selling point. It seems pretty obvious but thinking about  it has been giving me headaches for a while. Having a "unique style" is great, however I wouldn't really advertise my creations with that tagline since there are thousands of unique styles from different artists. "Positive quotes" is again another popular and oversaturated tag. I was pondering about " self care " and working around my journey discovering and growing my awareness regarding mental health. Still, I can't see myself confident enough to use my basic knowledge since the USP should be something I have an expertise on . Why an expertise? Because only when the maker is confident about what they do and how they do it is when we ...
