I had to share this.
I know people with 100k plus following and can’t even make a simple fondant teddy bear.
I have a friend that makes cookies and she’s obsessed with getting followers. I tell her ALL THE TIME “that doesn’t mean anything” I have a small following but people come to me for EDIBLE art because the people with a million followers simply can’t do it.
My cakes are NOT CHEAP. I can promise you people are not booking with me because of a low price. They are booking because I’m a REAL EDIBLE ARTIST.
Never and I mean never look at someone’s followers. Look at their actual work. And ALWAYS ask what’s edible and what’s not.
If it’s cheap it’s for a reason. Maybe it came from Amazon. I offer Amazon kit cakes for budget purposes only and honestly I have only had maybe 3 clients ask me for them.
The best way to grow your REAL BUSINESS is to have a relationship with your clients. When I’m out of someone’s budget I refer them out. I don’t leave my clients hanging. I always let them know AHEAD OF TIME what’s not edible. If I purchased something from Amazon, that’s not edible I would never in 1 million years posted and not tell the public that it’s not edible. When people post their work with non edible items like if they made them it blows my mind. Your lying to the client. That’s not a way to run a business. You should 100% tell your clients what’s edible and what’s not.
