Instagram puzzle

Today I’m back at reel making again. Hows it going?

Well, hmmm. Has anyone said this to you? : “You need to find your niche and connect with them.” Uh yeah. I always agree whole heartedly. Yes, of course my niche…

It sounds so easy. You find your niche and create content for the people in it. Brand yourself and then everyone knows what you are. Sounds simple enough.

Who am I? What is my brand? What’s my niche? Who am I creating all these reels for? Oh man.

I do love how easy this is for some people. It’s how I know it’s possible. I just haven’t figured it out. It continues to puzzle me pretty much every day.

Here’s my story. I make a lot of art. In between everything else in life, I paint or draw or or or…

I do get that that is not, in itself very interesting. It certainly isn’t unique. I created some books, also done by millions of people before me. My feelings aren’t hurt over the non interest, but I am sooo curious. It’s like a puzzle that others have solved, which completely alludes me. And it’s driving me crazy! I wonder what I’m missing. I wonder this often.

My motivation? I want to be a good bet for a publisher. I want my Instagram account to be a decent reference and record of what art I’ve done and am doing. Likes and followers add weight and legitimacy. I think they do anyway. Meanwhile, I’m getting a little better at making these reels. I’m keeping that part light and fun. A learning by doing sort of thing.
