For those who are new here* Hi - I'm Amanda, a signwriter and sign geek working in Dunedin, New Zealand. Juggling owning a small business in a s**t economy while drinking too much coffee, being a Mum and trying to get my steps in.
Once upon a time I would share posts with the items Positive Signs had for sale, these would reach 32 people. So I began sharing snippets of what I was doing behind the scenes and a bit of my weird sense of humour! And it turns out that's way more interesting and in the last month I cracked 330,000 views which is more than double the number of people who even live in Dunedin!
Sharing my work and challenges has allowed me to connect with other signees and small business owners throughout NZ & beyond (Hi my Swiss Alps & Belarus friend from the DMs xx). It lets me learn from other people's experiences and perspectives plus its all entirely selfish as I can socialise from the comfort of my couch!
Having the confidence to be myself and share what I do, is only because of the lovely feedback I get. Not just online but in the real world with phone calls and emails! It makes a huge difference and gives me a boost, usually right when I'm questioning my sanity after staying late to edit together the day's thoughts š¤£
Love you guys x
*A few posts of mine decided to blow up over the weekend, and I've now got a few hundred more followers! Not life changing numbers but if you made 250+ new friends you'd be pretty excited too
