Hi everyone, I’ve recently been given the option to sign up for Meta Verified through Meta Business Suite. I’m seriously considering it but wanted to hear from those of you who might already have it. Earlier this year, my Facebook page was cloned five times, and spammers even contacted my customers pretending to be me. It was a nightmare! 😟 Even though the copy pages were reported it took many months for them to be taken down. I’m thinking Meta Verified might be a good way to protect both my page and my customers, but I’ve also heard mixed reviews from other artists. If you’re Meta Verified: - Have you noticed any positive difference? - Has it helped with security or customer trust? I’d love to hear your experiences before I take the plunge. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts! 😊

My husband Drew recently did a post showing videos of him in the hospital when he nearly died ☠️…and it got tons of views and hundreds of comments! https://www.instagram.com/p/DC7Djz4v1DM/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== And then, he did a post on an art 🖼️ sale and got hardly any views or comments. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DC-Zjqvynrt/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== And it goes to show, Instagram hides posts that are trying to sell something. You have to outsmart the algorithm and not let it know you’re selling something 😀 Anyone here have success with reels or posts? And if so, what’s your advice? Drop it below 👇🏽

For Drew and I, we were told many years ago, "Never work with your spouse..." and then another time, "Don't ever license your art..." and then another time, "Don't make prints of your art." All of these things are what helped us create success in the business of art. I'm so glad we didn't listen to this advice! How About You? Share below!

Can you believe this year is nearly over?! Drop a comment below 👇🏽 What is ONE THING you will complete before Jan 1 to move forward on your path?

My current opencart website is fully GDPR compliant. I'm creating a new store in shopify and I'm trying to find out if it's already a feature in shopify or do I need to purchase another app to make it compliant. Does anyone know?
