Sometimes I get these super ridiculous messages on instagram, they are just spammy sales pitches, sometimes in comments, sometimes via actual private messages.

While I kind of appreciate the # suggestions I probably won't use any of them because I prefer to use things art related or chainmaille related. I do not want to make my business ALL about me being a "woman business" I feel like there is some inherently sexist basis for that, like it's extra impressive if I'm successful because I'm just a silly little woman. Or worse I should push that I'm a woman and people can buy stuff out of pity to support the little woman who tries so hard. 😞
Maybe it's just me but it doesn't feel right, it feels disingenuous and almost like mockery. Perhaps it's left-over annoyance from my teen years in archery where misogyny was a huge problem and I regularly had to prove that I was just as good a bow-tech as the "guys" (and I made better arrows). I fought that for years and it pissed me off nearly every day. 😕😣
So let's set aside the "bossbabe" and "girlboss" BS which just rankles and to me is demeaning because the only one who should call me Babe is my husband and I have not been a "girl" in decades. 😐
I love emojis, I really do but that message is barely legible for pity sake, between the excessive emojis, the incomplete incoherent sentences, random capitalizations, multiple P.s.'s which by the way proper would be P.S. (as it stands for Post Script). That paragraph of mumbo-jumbo is basically everything I hate about "modern communication". 😕
However, the biggest issue I have with things like this is they are total BS, there is no way I can sell a Million dollars worth of handmade stuff in a year. Mathematically it is not possible, most of what I sell has a price point between $20-$50 so I would have to sell some 30-50 Thousand items, which is impossible because there is absolutely no way I could even make that many handmade pieces in a year. Seriously, I've been making wire trees for over 3 years and I've made about 200 of them, I've been painting for a couple years off and on and I've painted about 120 canvases I think. My business model of actual handmade 100% by me simply does not allow for mass-production or reprints of my art, so I will never make a million dollars in 12 months unless I hit the lotto, which I do not play. 😏
