              Hi Audrey, 

              Thanks for replying, Really great vision I must say. A few things I want to add is, since you don't have a brand-identity why not you create one? Even if it's your personal brand/sole proprietorship an identity will make you stand apart! And then about website, you should have one, it isn't that costly and you can put your works, your profile details, integrate social media timelines to it. Also, you can put blog posts, So you can measure your site traffic and identify what works and what not.

               

              Do you have any questions our doubts? I would be happy to answer.

               

              Best,

                I have a brand and currently I've been working on creating my own website using these tips 

                https://www.templatemonster.com/blog/create-website-2017-ultimate-guide/ . I opted for WordPress. Unlike others, this platform is oriented on the end user, not the developer.

                  Hi @ajay11!

                   

                  Would love to answer this and hear your thoughts!

                   

                  1. What's your business goal? To expand my brand into clothing and prescription eyewear and embrace positives vibes through this outlet. I'd also like to eventually help support a non-profit organization aligned with my goals and pay it forward

                  2. Do you think you are going on the right path? I'm in the early stages with developing the clothing aspect and building social media following so I believe I'm on the right path. There is much more work to do more to explore on this path as well

                  3. Do you own a brand or just a business? I own a brand/business

                  4. Show me your website: www.BrightFuturesEyewear.com

                  5. Are you getting enough traffic on your website? Not as much as I'd like

                  6. Where you want to see your business in next 2, 3, & 5 year time? 2 years: Launch clothing collection, expand wholesale accounts, attend more festivals for brand awareness 3 years: Sponsor a non-profit organization and donate portion of sales for each transaction 5 year: Maintain business full time, hire employees to help expand and launch seasonal collection on a more consistent basis

                    Hi @MariebethArca! It's awesome to have you here. :smileyhappy: Thanks for sharing your journey and goals! I love your plan to give back to a non-profit. I have always loved Dress for Success. Do you have a non-profit that you like/plan to give back to when you can?
