Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum, hello & nice to meet you. I sell things on a couple different platforms, nothing like this though. I've been wanting to get into trying to do something w/my art & creative background on shirts & other items for awhile now but feel like I still have much to learn -or is it fairly easy? I can't tell if I'm looking into this too much & worrying about things I don't need to worry about in the beginning. I've been reading thru this thread & have really appreciated what I've picked up from all of you so far.
So here's my questions;
- I became disabled a couple yrs ago which is what started my venture into selling online full time, or trying to anyways. It's something I've always wanted to do, just was going thru too much for so long. When I was able to work I was always self Employed in 2 different creative type backgrounds that I did very well in, so being an entrepreneur is something I very much love. Unfortunately a major hit & run car accident that tore my spine, severed part of it & resulted in many major reconstructive surgeries put an immediate halt to those careers. I then went thru more unfortunate events, injuries, more surgeries, theft, you name it.
My financial situation currently is not good due to all that's happened to me as well as great loss & theft by people I trusted. I lost everything I worked my whole life for, things I will never be able to get back again as I no longer have the physical capabilities. It's been very hard to bounce back due to this, so I've been digging into this as much as I can, so I can feel like I'm self supportive again. Plus I truly love all things creative, being self employed & have backgrounds in just about all creative arenas along w/various other backgrounds, things I've been doing my entire life or most of it both professionally & as a hobbiest.
- In addition to what I've read here & other places does anyone have any info on good reading or watching material? I've been constantly reading, searching online, watching YouTube vids for a long time however there's a lot of crap & scammers thrown in w/genuinely good people w/good advice. Oh & anyone I definitely should not watch, listen to or follow would also be greatly appreciated as I just do not have the time to waste.
Any notable people I should reasearch, read/watch or follow to keep up on the latest & greatest info in this ever changing climate? There are some people I would l love to learn from but at present cannot afford them. I've had other people tell me I don't need them however being away from this whole arena for so long plus losing everything makes me feel like I need to learn or relearn certain areas of this business that have drastically changed & are continually changing from where they were all the yrs ago when I 1st started getting into all this, prior to all I've gone thru.
Anyhow, I'm hoping I can start doing this w/o investing a ton of $$ I don't have then when I get going I can build up from there. Sorry for the long post guys, I'm just trying to figure out so many things at once.
Thank you so much for reading thru this & any info you're able to provide. I truly appreciate it! Have a great day!
