It’s so helpful (and inspiring!) to hear about how it’s going early in the journey, instead of only looking back on the early journey down the line. Thanks so much for sharing this!
I really enjoyed watching your video because I've just launched my jewellery business and it feels really nice to get realistic perspective from someone else with a budding creative business. It can definitely feel like you should have everything figured out on day one, that you need to go from 0 to tens of thousands of followers and be selling out. Those are of course ridiculously impossible standards to set for yourself. So I'm also trying to take it easy, be mindful and enjoy each step of the process - while also taking time to rest and reflect when I need to. (Which I have done for several weeks now after launching lol).
Thank you for posting this video, it was really well-thought-out and succinct. I have started many businesses or creative adventures like yourself, usually, I keep the same Etsy shop and just change the name though 🤣 But it was really good to see what your biz made in the first month and to hear your strategy for the up-coming months, will be subscribing to see future updates!
That was a detailed and very fascinating insight you presented regarding your Art business venture. It is almost bewildering at how many threads need to be held regarding the reaching of the right contacts/audience/market, the time spent on these matters - and all this above the actual creating of the artworks in question itself! Truly a balancing act. I am greatly looking forward to the video regarding the completed artwork Fox and Crow. A possible reason as to why your long YT video was a success is (from my viewpoint) that actual artists themselves were watching it in order to better understand your art. I know I did. I wanted to understand the concept, technique, colour harmony, theme, ideas etc. Always one wishes to learn about other's approaches to their art - and this CANNOT be attained with shorter videos. Thank you for uploading this one, I learnt a LOT from it - and wish you success in achieving your set goals. Remember: it is always the ART that counts, and that it give one an inner satisfaction. The rest must be separated from this and placed under the 'business as usual' compartment! 🙂🖌🎨
Thank you so much for your kind words! Very good to know that my longer videos were helpful as tutorials, maybe I'll make more instructional guided tutorials in the future!
I originally clicked on this video with the thought in the back of my mind "I really hope this doesn't make me feel bad about my own art sales." And you opened by telling me exactly what I needed to hear. So thank you for being real and honest ❤
And I wholeheartedly agree with your perspective on social media. I just made a whole youtube video about it. (: it sounds like you have a really healthy relationship with your business and I wish you so much success!
This makes me so happy to hear!! I love your channel, it's always so nice to find other artists who want to see a slower, more intentional creative industry
I'll be waiting for your progress. This is a great video. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely, being patient with yourself is soooo much easier said than done. Good luck with your new business!
