@@WatercolorKari 😭 well, you know the feeling is mutual! I think mentioning that is part of what had me nervous. I didn't want to seem too braggy, especially if my channel engagement slows down a lot or something. 🤷♀️ But this is the type of stuff that's on my mind when it comes to art, and I appreciate when others share their behind-the-scenes struggles and what works for them.
Girrrrrl, you are motivating me! I've been listening to the book, "The Creative Business Handbook" over and over and haven't taken any action. (Granted, I do fall asleep most times I'm listening because I listen at bedtime, but surely by now I've heard the whole book at least once.😅) They also encourage us to write things down just like you are doing. I think that's my next step. Not sure that will happen before Thanksgiving, but you're making me think here! Thank you! ❤ ❤
@@WatercolorKari awww, you are a big help for me to keep going with this channel. For some reason I really panicked internally after posting this one. 😅 I don't know if I felt like it's too personal or too clickbait-y or like people would attack me for it. It really don't have a clear reason why I got so nervous about it suddenly. I refused to check my analytics to see if people were watching. And I don't even know why. 😅 But having a positive comment that it helped YOU makes all the rest not matter so much. So thank you! And I can't wait to see how it goes for you. I might have to check out the book you mentioned! Haven't heard of that one. 😃
@@WatercolorwithMegan Also, I have a video that will be going up on Saturday that I'm nervous about. It feels very self-serving. Ack! Hahaaaaa, I need to realize I'm trying to make my creations into a business and get over the fear of self-promoting, as long as I'm not overdoing it. Gosh, how weird. 😂
@WatercolorKari 😂 yes! I guess I could understand if the video wasn't what they expected from the title/thumbnail, but yours are so clear. 🤷♀️ Or maybe it's because some people prefer music instead of commentary. But don't stop your commentary! I love it! 😂I mean, of course take a break from it if you need to. 🤣 Mine get thumbs down sometimes, too, but I have learned from Amazon reviews that people have different ways of rating things or reasons for doing what they do. 🤷♀️
@WatercolorKari oh, for sure! I know that feeling. I hate promoting my book...even though it has helped so many people! Also, not fair that you're telling me about a video that I have to wait almost a week to see! 🤣 Just kidding. But I do feel like I'm begging when I promote stuff. 😅 That's part of why I'm not ready for it with my art yet. But I'm impressed with other artists who do it. And not annoyed by it. I want them and their art to succeed and continue to be shared!
@@WatercolorwithMegan I know what you're sayin'. I'd just neverrrrr put a thumbs down on someone's creation. If I didn't like it, I'd just move on. Haha, laughing at myself because I knooow this isn't a big deal. I mean, if I had a political channel or something controversial, thumbs downs are understandable. Hahaaaaa, okay, I'll stop now. 😂
❤
I'm so glad you restarted your watercolor channel. I'm loving your content! 🥰
