I Can't Even See My Comfort Zone Anymore

I'm so far out of my comfort zone, I can't even see it anymore. Good gracious!

A Griffin Pottery is now on Instagram!

You will find me at @agriffinpottery

I must warn you. I have no idea what I am doing. Maybe I shouldn't tell you that. But there. I did. It's out there. Some of my friends are trying to assist from afar by making suggestions and such. I really do appreciate the input from folks who have more experience.

I know I've got to start somewhere. Baby steps and all that, right? So far, I can kind of almost post a picture. Sometimes those pictures end up in my "story", but sometimes they don't. I haven't figured out what I do that makes that happen sometimes and sometimes not. And what the heck is my story anyway?

I think my main problem is between my ears. (Stop it. I know that is where most of my issues come from. You don't really need to tell me.) I feel pressure to get this up and running so that I can sell some pottery this month. I have friends and family who have busted their fannies shifting their small businesses online. Yoga studios and fitness centers are doing virtual classes online and I can't figure out how to get a stupid picture of a pot on Instagram.

Baby steps. Take some pictures. They don't have to be GREAT pictures, right? Post them with a short description and a price. Maybe some body will want to make a purchase. Then I can figure out how to take an online payment. Gah! Another thing to learn.
