Beadworking and finding time to promote your work is a challenge! With all the avenues that are existing pertaining to social media networking to make you visible on the internet can become really time consuming and make you lose track of your goal.
Recently, I came across the realisation that the proper ratio of beading/promoting should be something around 1/1. Simple? Maybe… What it says to me is that you must be wise and invest your time online properly. For me, the best results come when I focus my attention into a few specific places instead of a little here and there… Use your analytics to help you determine what works best for you and roll with it! Also, keep a little window to explore new areas and discover if it could be something good to add to your online routine.
When you start your work online, you might feel overwhelmed by the amount of possibilities that exist but take my word for it, the more you explore, the more possibilities you will find… Choose according to your needs and your online skills.
My advice is: do less but do it the best you can!
And remember…your work online is a work in progress and if you are curious like me, you will never be done!
