This is just what I needed to read today! I have been using IG since 2021. When I started I was posting very close to daily and seeing moderate growth. Four months ago, I took a step back. I felt the need to post was driving my painting practice in an unhealthy way. I started posting only when I felt like it which is more like once or twice a week. Since stepping back, my followers actually dropped but I have felt much more in balance.
"I gave myself permission to market my business in a way that feels really good to me. When I did, everything changed. I now do the things I deeply enjoy and see these things as part of my business." I loved this part!
Love this! I felt sooooo much better after quitting IG and moving to a platform which I like (slightly) better. I'd love to hear more about your podcast pitching, how you do it, ideas on it, etc. It's something floating in my mind but I have no idea how to start!
I listened to your post today, Astrid! Thank you for another great read. Lots for me to mull over. Those questions are really helpful. I think this is a great approach and mindset to take with marketing. And I think as an audience member you can feel the difference between someone who is making themselves 'sell' and someone who is being generous and easeful with sharing their offers. Interesting to hear about moving away from Insta as well. I really don't like it there atm and I'm trying to limit my time in that space.

Just what I need to read this morning. Thinking about revisiting Pinterest next.

Thank you Astrid, this is so interesting and definitely something I will ponder in the weeks ahead!
Thank you so much for the shout out Astrid!

I really enjoyed your article Astrid and have come to some similar conclusion for myself recently. Perhaps that’s why your words resonated so much.
