I always enjoy watching your broadcasts. It's been five years since I registered with minne and started my work as an artist. Until the year before last (2018), I mainly made baby and kids goods and was featured several times, but sales did not increase. Around that time, I started selling the toy pouches I made for my children in the adult category last year (2019). Little by little, my followers increased and my sales started to grow. I read know-how books for handmade artists, re-took photos every now and then, and tried various things one by one, such as the advice that Wada-san has given in his previous broadcasts. This year, I was featured in the "Freshly Picked! Strawberry Motif" special at the beginning of the new year. Since then, my followers have increased and many people have purchased various works. Since the beginning of this year, sales have increased rapidly, which makes me happy, but I have received more orders than I have ever experienced before. I hope to continue this work for as long as possible, and of course I want to do my best to keep up my sales, but I don't know how to take it, and I often think negatively, such as whether it's just now due to the influence of the coronavirus, or whether there will be a time when sales suddenly stop, and my anxiety is growing. The gallery has been untouched since the beginning of the year, and there are many photos and texts that I want to add, and I think there are still many things to improve, but this month we are receiving orders from many people at a pace that exceeds last month. I don't know where to start, and I'm a little panicked. I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Thank you. * * "Good morning! minne LAB" is always looking for artists to share their concerns.
