Very helpful. Thanks so much! Especially the part about it's more important to share the journey than be perfect.

Thank you so much for this video! I needed to hear this because i have definitely been in a negative cycle of doubt and comparison. The name has never been an issue to me as i always like keywords; but as far as the niche aspect, i got lost in myself comparing myself to others and theyre standard. It’s important to trust yourself and i appreciate these messages you listed

Thank you so much! I’m having a hard time settling with one style and subject matter

Thank you so much,

This is an amazing video. Thank you so much. I get stuck in the paralysis of niche and name as well. This def makes me feel like I could chill a little.

"Hi Andrea" I'm am older guy, painting my whole life with a Master Degree in Painting. I've won many awards & do Library displays. I get tons of compliments, but little sales. Most of the sales to friends. I have all my work is on Facebook, You Tube, & Instagram, but only people I know see it. I've been told I have to pick a site to refer people to those sites. I know, use key works & #s But what site should I use as the directory? I recently made 3 library videos with me explaining each painting, 33 different works at each location. That's over 100 frames art pieces.

I really like your channel and I have learned so much. However, I am about to just give up. While I was a full time teacher I worked with my shop part time and made about 3 sales a year doing nothing. When I retired December of 2021, I went to work feverishly, full time, taking free marketing classes, and using Instagram. Pinterest and Facebook to gain followers and lead them to my store. I also took and Etsy marketing Master Class and I'm just making the point that I have been working and posting almost every day in the beginning. Now it's dwindled to 1 time a week. I see other artists doing very well with different styles of work, and I have come to conclusion that what I am doing is just not marketable. Folks don't see to want my art . . .? July 26th was my last sale, and nothing since then. A good day for me is around 30 views, which is not enough. So I started a printables boutique, and that is not selling either. I think my fine art boutique, artbycarolcross, has good products, professional art, but maybemy work is too unusual? The other shop, Paisley Park Printables, I have not been working on too much or promoting because I am so stymied by the other store. At some point, you need to realize your work is not gonna sell and just move on. I don't think the boutique will be successful no matter how hard I market it, if it's not what people are looking for. I would love some feedback from you or others if they have experienced this situation. Do I keep plugging, or just try something else? Anyone? Thanks so much for all you do Kate, you are amazing, and all my best. Carol
