Ep 20: How to create demand and desire for your patterns
Manage episode 455138652 series 3579628
Are you a designer who creates beautiful patterns but feels weird about telling people about them. You know what I mean... that icky feeling when you have to "sell" your work?
I get it. I used to be exactly the same way. But here's the thing - I discovered something that completely changed how I think about pattern promotion, and I HAD to share it with you in this new podcast episode.
This episode is perfect for you if:
- You feel guilty or "sleazy" when promoting your designs
- You're tired of posting your work and hearing crickets
- You worry about annoying your followers
- You're starting from zero and feeling overwhelmed
- You give away all your behind-the-scenes content too early
- You've ever felt like you're "pushing" your patterns on people
In this episode, I reveal:
- The biggest mistake most designers make when promoting their work (I was shocked when I realized I was doing this!)
- A completely different way to think about promotion that actually feels good
- My six-step method for sharing your work authentically
- The secret to making people naturally curious about your designs
Plus, I share a story about how changing one simple thing in my promotion strategy led to a complete mindset shift (and better sales!)
Wanna know more about the toolkit that will make it fun to actually get your designs seen?
