I don’t think I can be the type of person that Instagram needs you to be.
I don’t like reels. I honestly do not enjoy videos and would rather read, or look at static images.
I don’t make any stories.
I have no schtick.
It’s just me. Take it or leave it.
It’s why, though I made up a handle for this blog because, you know, marketing and all that jazz, I have yet to post. I don’t want to taint who I am, what this blog is all about. I don’t want to stress over the perfect photo for Instagram (even though it seems very rare that people actually post real photos anymore…the whole thing I absolutely loved about Instagram) and what great marketing campaign I should use.
I don’t want to end up worrying about posting the right stuff and falling down the rabbit hole of listicles and the like. There’s nothing wrong with listicles; I actually enjoyed writing a few of them. You’ll find some type of listicle-styled posts here every so often because easily broken down information is fun, and at times, feels right. But, I don’t want it to be the only thing this blog is about. Social media and click-bait titles.
Perhaps it’s not the best way of thinking when you want to make money from your craft, and who doesn’t want to make a little something something from what they love to do? But, when you need to be true to yourself, to your vision, it makes it a little harder.
I’ll end up posting on Instagram soon, I know. As soon as my flowers start blooming and the world looks shiny and new, again, I’ll get excited and feel the need to share what I see with the world. Who knows what that will look like, but I’m trying my bestest not to worry about it. Everything about this blog is focused on intuition. I may not have posts about it now, but intuition is my favourite piece of advice for everyone. Go with your gut and all that.
Besides, you can always, like Ross says, pivot.
