Am I Bothering People with My Emails?

You worry that if you send the email, you’ll bother people.

And maybe it’s true.

Maybe there are people who open their computers and phones, see your email, and feel bothered.

And that’s ok.

They can feel bothered and stay on your list.

Or they can feel bothered and unsubscribe.

Or they can feel bothered and realize that they are having a bad day, or that your email reminds them of something that is bothersome, or that they are hangry and everything is bothering them…iykyk.

It’s also true that not sending the email is bothering people.

They raised their hand to see more of your work, and get to know you better, and find out where you’ll be next…but nothing ever comes because you are so worried that you’ll be a bother.

You have a choice to believe that people want to hear from you and that you and your work matters to them.

Or, you can choose to believe that your work and words are a bother.

Either way…some people will be glad to see your email, and some people won’t.

But when you believe that people want to hear from you…

🫶 You open up.

🫶 You share.

🫶 You write.

🫶 You press send.

🫶 You sell art.

🫶  You don’t agonize over the stats and analytics.

🫶  You don’t second guess yourself…and feel all squirmy.

🫶  You don’t feel shame telling yourself you’re bothering people.

🫶 You send that email knowing that your people are going to be so happy to hear from you…regardless of what you share with them.

And then you get back to making and selling more art.

It’s 100% your choice.
