If taking photos isn’t your jam (don’t worry– it’s not mine either!), then chances are you’ve probably asked yourself the question, “Are there any other options out there?!?!”

Why yes, yes there are.

Today I’m happy to share with you 3 photography alternatives that will still give you beautiful, brilliant photos to use in your shop- no photography skills required 😉 …

Have you taken my free e-course yet? If you answered yes, then high-five! If you answered ‘no,” then why not? Hustle on over here and sign up— I promise it’s worth more than some paid courses out there 😉

If you’ve taken he course before then you’ve (hopefully!) gone through the target market exercises and hopefully discovered your ideal customer. I know it seems silly to be talking to an imaginary person, but trust me on this! It honestly is going to make marketing your Etsy shop so much easier….

Instagram + Etsy are like two peas in a pod for a variety of reasons, but my favorite is the fact that they both have such large audiences primed + ready to buy your stuff. Sometimes I feel like Instagram was MADE for Etsy– that’s how well these two platforms go hand in hand 🙂

When I first started out my Instagram, one of the things I used to struggle the most with on Instagram was the idea that if I wasn’t pushing my product in each post, then what was the point (maybe you can relate…)?

I would post pictures of #littlehighbury users on my Instagram, or perhaps an inspiring motherhood quote, but no matter how long and hard I worked to get that “perfect” caption or photo angle, those posts didn’t always equate to sales, and that was freakin’ discouraging. Especially when there are a gazillion other things that you could be doing instead of wasting your time on “fruitless” marketing…

“Do more social media.” <– Okay, pet peeve time. I hate it when I search for small business marketing help and every. single. article I click on just tells me to “do more social media.”

Seriously?!?!

You would seriously have to be living under a rock to not know about social media. Plus, if you’re taking the time to google it, it’s pretty obvious that you already know that social media is a big deal– what you don’t know is how to leverage the social media so that it is giving you results…

Fact: growing your Instagram following in those early start-up days of your business can be ridiculously tedious (at best)– and I don’t know about you, but a lot of the times I feel like I have about a million other things I need to be doing with my business as well, which doesn’t often leave me with a lot of time for growing my following.

Does gaining a couple hundred followers in a few hours sound like a dream? Then keep reading– I’ll be sharing my #1 secret weapon for growing your Instagram following FAST…
