Deactivated Twitter & Pinterest Accounts

Image
 Today I deactivated the Positive Awe twitter account.  I had only tweeted 49 times with this handle since I started the account in 2019, almost 4 years ago. The plans that I had to build this brand and leverage that platform did not materialize. I have since spent time focusing on what I want to do with Positive Awe. I still want to have a boutique shop focused on positivity, but I don't want to personally manage that shop. I need to bring on a team of people to do that. And that all requires capital. So, for now I am focusing on building capital, fleshing out what I truly want to do and then leveraging that. I know I don't want to be a mogul, but if that happens I am ok with it. I do know I enjoy being behind the scenes and make things work without having to be the face of success, primarily because I enjoy my privacy and solitude. And the one thing fame does not bring is privacy & solitude. There are other reasons why I left Twitter, the short of it is the platform doesn

New Website and Online Store Launching 1Q 2022

How it Started Positive Awe soft launched with handmade face masks April 2020 in response to the COVID-19, novel corona virus, global pandemic. Tanya Owens sewed cotton face masks with pockets for PM 2.5 filters, which is the closest you can get to a N95 filter mask. Wisely, Tanya Owens had ordered PM 2.5 filters from China. She had originally used face masks with PM 2.5 filters when she was in China in 2012. They effectively filter out small particulates from air pollution. These face mask filters also help to filter out bacteria and viruses. Sold on Online Stores Tanya Owens offers her products on a number of online stores: RedBubble , Fine Art America , Art of Where , Pixels , and Cafe Press . She also has plans to offer products on additional stores in 2022. Her goal is to offer her custom products wherever people shop online. Products Watch this space. Tanya is working on a host of new product offerings and building a new website and online store experienc

Timeline to Open

Stay Tuned  I conducted a soft test on Pinterest and this Blog to see which products people were interested in. The results are in, and the mixture of products I selected did not land with consumers. That is good news even though the outcome is not that great. It means that I need to continue to research before I open virtual doors online. Tanya Owens Contemplating Positive Awe My timeline for opening may be pushed back a little. I am tentatively still aiming for a late spring 2022 opening. But the opening date will be determined by product mix and what the market determines. Thanks for joining this aspiring entrepreneur. It is scary to launch a small business online. However, I am encouraged as the one positive outcome from the pandemic is that more people have adopted online shopping and view it more favorably than before the pandemic. Affiliate Marketing I am rethinking my position on launching Positive Awe through affiliate marketing. It is good in theory, but I want people to have
