Q: In your opinion, how has self-promotion impacted your sales on the TeePublic marketplace?
A: Self promotion resulted in more sales made since I started to be part of the platform. It is common to receive reactions from my followers asking how they can get the products!
Q: What avenues do you use for promotion? i.e. IG, IG stories, Link in bio, Facebook etc.
A: Most IG stories, IG posts, Facebook and my website. Sometimes I also do IG lives and advise on Twitter... and lately, Linkedin. All of them I think everything helps.
