Changes and Sales?
I apologize for not doing this update at the end of the first quarter but something interesting did happen that I thought would be worth sharing.
I did get furloughed, like many others, so income was bad recently. But with the spare time I did begin a few things: getting a website and starting a YouTube channel. Now only being a month into both of them I did not expect anything to happen. After all I am just learning how to use both platforms and market myself. Now the interesting thing I mentioned earlier; one of my previous sites that I linked in both the YouTube and website began seeing more traffic. This is my RedBubble site. I worked on updating RedBubble before the lockdown but still saw no sales. But in the last few weeks I have gotten my first two sales. (Not enough to met the requirement for first payment but all favorite and sales have increased.)
The point that is interesting to me is this: my traffic has dropped but my sales have increased. You might also notice that the red traffic source (on the bottom) has dropped dramatically, the light purple (one above the red) increased, and so have the top two metrics. To me this means my traffic in general is indeed dropping but I am starting to finally sniff out something people might like in my work.
Also I got a rare sale on my Society6 page before a little activity there. It is interesting to see how the traffic is changing and what is actually being liked.
