Hello Beautiful Humans.
I know Tired Witch is mostly informational posting, but I want to start incorporating some more personal workings. Don’t worry, the information train is still coming. But hey, why can’t the witch behind the blog write a bit about herself? As you can see there’s been a bit of an overhaul here on Tired Witch. Improvements, and adjustments, overall something I am prouder of, and looks more intentional.
I want to talk about my business… as of today, I mark the first anniversary on social media. I still can’t believe that a year ago, when I humbly decided to expand myself to Instagram, that this is where I have landed. You’ll have to understand that I had almost no expectations. I hoped to, in a year, maybe hit 1k followers. And now look at this, 21k of you beautiful souls. I am humbly grateful and overwhelmed with the outpouring of love. Because of your support, I got brave enough to start Tired Witch. It’s a bit of a domino effect, but has given me so much confidence online that I never had before, or even imagined the ability to reach.
I get a lot of questions, asking me how I did this. And honestly, I have no idea. I just put my heart into it, my soul, and I post consistently. Which isn’t too hard for me, because this is genuinely my life. I don’t have to make things up when I’m just letting ya’ll into a window of my existence. I wish I had some hot tip. I don’t. I work hard, and I am proud of that. I am so grateful for the fact ya’ll have enjoyed what I have to share with you, and I am extra grateful for the small percentage of you, who buy from my shop. Honestly, I wish I could hug each of you individually. I feel like I’m never doing enough for ya’ll, to show how much this lil motley crew means to me.
I have some goals for the upcoming year, which I recognize it potentially detrimental to my success by posting them online. But you know what, I am going to trust, and hope that y’all are in my corner.
Maria (@mariathearcane) and I will be starting a mentorship Patreon in the upcoming month. Listen, I get it’s premature to post about it, but I trust her entirely, and we have been working our buns off to provide content for ya’ll. We get so many questions daily. I can’t speak for her, but I get upwards of 20-40 messages a day asking me about witchcraft, that frankly, I don’t have the time to answer them all. I wish I did. So this is a way to kind of sequester our time. I just want this to be something of value for you guys. That way I can isolate my time, to those of you who need it most.
I want to expand BCM this year too. I’d like to add candles, spell kits and incense. That’s something that I think I can manage happily, and I’m excited at the idea of being able to provide. I’ve started working out logistics, and I think I can get it up and running, in parts, within the next 4 months. Unlike my oils though, they will be stocked. I will only make batches at a time. So this will have to be something that, rolls out slowly. And I hope to be able to do this effectively. I have been meaning to do this for the last 6 months, so the idea of actually making a game plan excites me greatly.
I have a lot of changes planned in my personal life this year too, which I will open up about as and when they come. As I don’t want to jinx it. So I look forward to sharing it with you as and when the time comes.
Thank you all for making me feel so welcome in this weird online community. I was pretty anti-sharing for the longest time. And I am SO grateful to have been proven incorrect in all my fears.
Today I also shared a giveaway on my Instagram, as a means of a thank you. It features some of my favorite small businesses. All you have to do is, be following me, and like my post. That’s it. That’s the whole catch. So if you are only just finding me through my blog, here the link! Go follow me and get in on this!
Thank you, so much for everything.
I hope to continue to provide for you all, the best I can.
I am grateful.
