質問86「半年後に月商10万円目指すとしたら」ハンドメイド作家さんのお悩み相談：おはようminneLAB

This is a consultation from an artist who decided to "seriously commit to their work!" starting in November 2020. They mentioned a gap between the works they wanted to sell and those that actually sold, and that despite their efforts, their website traffic wasn't increasing. This video explains the areas where their lack of action is the problem. ▼Japan's largest handmade and handcrafted online marketplace "minne" by GMO Pepabo https://bit.ly/3wLIy9x ▼For those who want to sell handmade works online https://bit.ly/3wKTXX7 ▼Table of Contents 00:00 Introduction of the Question 02:24 Gallery Introduction and Impressions 06:36 ①Current Situation Analysis 11:18 ②Breaking Down Goals 18:56 ③Key Point: "Photography" 20:52 Summary ◆Please also check these out in conjunction with today's video◆ ▼Question 56: "20 images on minne!

[Feedback Box] https://bit.ly/2YRj8ph * * Question 86 Questioner: Yokineko-san https://minne.com/@nnnorjp Hello. I enjoy listening to Oha Lab. Thank you for always sharing such helpful information. I have a question. I think I've been registered with minne for about 1-2 years. I love handmade crafts and have occasionally listed my creations until now. However, I decided to commit to it seriously from November 7th, 2020, and that brings me to where I am today. The reason I committed to it seriously from November is because I became ill and was unable to work. Thanks to the kindness of an acquaintance, I was introduced to a work-from-home job, and I'm pursuing my artistic activities while doing that work. If I'm working from home, I want to seriously turn my beloved handmade crafts into a career. However, the number of views on my gallery remains in the single digits. While I have received purchases so far, they were all from followers of another Twitter account of mine (people I've actually met). But it seems that once someone buys something, they don't buy it again and never become repeat customers. I think they bought it out of kindness. It seems that strangers don't buy anything, and I'm at a loss. I've looked at OhaLab and made various improvements to my photos and writing, but the number of views remains low, and I'm not getting any likes. When I consulted an acquaintance, they told me to "set a six-month time limit for your handmade activities and focus more on your work-from-home job." Do I lack talent for handmade crafts? My resolve is wavering. Also, while earrings and accessories have sold, the animal-themed pieces I most want to create haven't sold. I'm stuck in a state of not knowing what to do. The thought of six months makes me anxious. If my inquiry is accepted, I would appreciate your honest and critical feedback. Thank you for reading this lengthy message. * * "Good Morning! minne LAB" is an official video streaming service from minne for creators working on their crafts.
