Brand New Store - Need tips for online marketing

[Mattmas]

Hi all,

My name is Matt, I'm a New Zealand based graphic designer and have been creating space-inspired digital art in my spare time since the 2020 lockdown. I've been encouraged by friends to try sell my designs online so decided to give it a go and for the last week have been setting up my store and social media accounts.

I really want to hit the ground running with social media promotion, particularly on Pinterest and Benable, but am quite unexperienced and find it all a tad overwhelming. I'm starting out by pinning/listing 5 store products per day but beyond that am not too sure what to do to grow an audience. Should I mix in other creators designs that match my vibe?

Any tips/trick for using these sites to grow would be absolutely amazing.

Thanks!

I have given up on Pinterest because Pinterest makes it so hard to use the site. I will be glad to follow you from my Benable at https://benable.com/Windy

I check in to Benable a few times a day and look at my notifications. This will show me all the activity initiated by the people I follow at Benable.

I look at each of the notifications from those people I follow, and then I click through to the item they have just posted or the list to which they have just added, and I make a point to like one or two of the items or to like the the entire list.

@MattmasI would suggest you educate yourself with what has already been written within these forums. You can do a search using keywords within each individual forum to find many answered posts.

What you are asking is a tall order. Everyone's experiences are different because we all use promotional platforms differently. For example while @Windy doesn't have much success on Pinterest, many of us do have success on that platform.

Use Z forums and the Help pages on any of those promotion / social media platforms to learn more.

Best of luck. 💐
