Venting 🥲

I LOVE my dog. I’ve had her almost five years now, got her when she was three from a friend who rescued her from a breeder who was done using her as a mama. When I tell you I love my dog I mean I just drive 14 hours for a buisness trip so she could come to because she doesn’t behave for anyone when I’m not around. And I’m tired because I just got to my hotel where they informed me she could not stay alone in the room while I work. Even though I was told on the phone when I booked that she could. She’s amazing doesn’t bark doesn’t do anything just sits in her crate until I get back. I’ve done this on multiple business trips already. I’m just venting. I love my dog but it’s fking hard and stressful owning and aggressive dog. And it’s more so when people lack compassion for us when I’m doing everything I can to properly care for my dog. I know it’s dumb to plan my life around this dog. I don’t care. I love her so much and I don’t mind. It just sucks, why is a hotel pet friendly but you can’t leave your pet in the room for a few hours. What is the point

Hi everyone, I have a machine embroidery business selling my own designs as clothing and patches. I’m trying to build an audience for my non book related products, my real art.

Questions

  1. I used Etsy plus to research tag words but I’m having trouble finding ones that fit my niche. Machine embroidery tags seem to pull mostly people putting names on stuff. Witchy/mystic tags have way too many hits for me to compete with. What would you use?

  2. Etsy ads are bringing my views but not clicks or orders. I suck at taking pictures of my products, is that why I’m not getting clicks or is it another reason?

  3. Is it smart to lower my prices for the first year until I get a larger following and more orders? To bring people in?

I guess to combine 2 and 3 is it my photos, products, or pricing not drawing peoples attention? I don’t think it’s my product because offline I’ve made a handful of sales and gotten lots of compliments. 🥺

-I created this shop to make wearable art for creative empaths like me who like to make a statement. Enough of our money goes to big corporations. I wanted to perpetuate the value of learning a craft and providing small batch handmade products that don’t look cookie cutter identical to what everyone is wearing in a crowd.

-I think my products are worth buying to the right person because there’s a certain whimsy to owning a piece of art that an artist poured their heart and soul into bringing to life just for you, something that may be reproduced but never replicated. They are truly a labor of love.

-My biggest competitors are the pod shops and people making screen printed t shirts. I think my biggest advantage over pod shops is that to the right person I’m hoping the fact that start to finish my product comes from me will make a difference. Compared to screen printers, embroidery won’t fade away after years of washing and wearing.

Thank you guys for reading, any help is much appreciated ❤️
