I just had an email through my contact me section of this blog. Promising thousands of engagements and interest for a small monthly fee.
The answer is, no thank you. I’m a single person business. My painting is labour intensive. I don’t employ an admin worker and I couldn’t trwal through lots of vague contacts in the hope someone might want a painting.
I am happy for people to contact me directly, I can then come to arrangements with people who want to commission me. It takes time to complete paintings. If I were to start doing prints of them I might need to advertise. I guess I’m afraid of letting people down and getting overwhelmed.
Does anyone else advertise? I don’t even have ads on my blog posts. I don’t like them and I don’t want to endorse products I don’t know and would never use myself.

I let WordPress run ads on my blog, but I don’t do much other paid ads. They have to be for a product or service I really support and like.

I received an email from WordPress yesterday – 4 ways to monetize your site. I did look at the link but as yet I have not made any decision as to whether to try it or ignore it. I always worry about negative consequences, I don’t need stress.
