This is so well said!!
Hello everyone! In case you are new here, I wanted to share that I am a small business owner not a content creator.
A content creator’s goal is often to create posts for views, trends, and engagement. To hype the account itself, sometimes there is a goal behind it, sometimes not. No shame to content creators, I see you and appreciate what many of you do and I learn a lot from content creators.
But as a small business owner I use posting content as a tool to build trust, attract aligned customers, grow my business and create something sustainable beyond social media. It means the value I find here isn’t measured by likes but by the real world impact my work has on relationships, awareness, community, longevity & sales. I share a lot of the things I like to do and care about because I believe it’s important to spread information and use this platform for good. Of course I am not impervious to the harms & struggles of social media but I believe with balance it can be a great tool. As tough as posting online can be as a small business owner, already wearing so many hats, it has played an essential role in the growth of my business, my shop and connecting with my community.
🧡 Thank you all for being here and following along, it means so much more to me than just likes and views. If you are down for all things relating to the desert, Arizona, Tucson, herbalism & more then keep following along!
P.S. no wildflowers were harmed when taking this photo. Please always stay on the trail if there is one or stay on the dirt/ rocky areas as to not trample wildflowers.
