Marketing?

Hi guys! I have a question. Do you have any ideas on how to market/advertise your patterns? I dont have a lot up rn, but i do really want to start doing more. The reason I chose Ribblr to sell patterns on is because they have no upfront fees, they just take a percentage. Other platforms are different, or are more confusing. I am not allowed any social media, and I would LOVE to start a yt channel, and my mom even said I could (as long as i didnt have my face on it) but i dont have the equipment or setup for it. Are there any wasy that you use to advertise and promote your patterns? thx so much!

You could try Pinterest or make more posts on Ribblr (like you said you could also use a yt channel)

Im interested in the answer. I don’t market mine, in etsy theres a search, in ribblr there’s a search, I’ve not really sold any elsewhere (lack of marketing probably contributes to that :thinking:)

Hmm… Its going to be tough to advertise your patterns if you are not allowed any social medias… One idea I have is Word Of Mouth (WOM) basically, if you have any friends on Ribblr that have other social medias you could ask them to help you out by posting about your patterns/shop on other platforms if that makes sense!

Ima ask my dad who is a Marketing professor later for more things that could help you!
