For over a year after I created my Instagram account to share my projects, I built things, took photos, but rarely hit "share".

Since starting to post projects online, I've learned more, made friends with other Makers, and been incredibly inspired by this amazing community.

If you've thought about posting your projects online and feel like you can't, see if any of these reasons are holding you back (and why they are faulty beliefs).

There are 3 topics I am actively thinking about a lot these days:

• Effective Email Marketing

• Creator Small Business Growth

• AI

Everywhere online, you see people who took their hobbies and turned them into profitable businesses and you want it too.

Whether it’s to leave your full-time job or just bring in some side-hustle money, bridging the gap between hobby and business is no small feat. Social media makes it look effortless and like you can’t avoid winning big. Unfortunately, the reality can be much more difficult if you aren’t honest with yourself about what you’re getting into.
