I also responded to every single comment that anyone left on my
page. It just seemed like the polite thing to do. Many companies were
spending millions of dollars trying to nail social media, but I just went with
my instincts and treated my customers like they were my friends. Even
with no manager watching to give me a gold star, it was important to do
my best. Who cares if a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it? The
tree still falls. If you believe that what you’re doing will have positive
results, it will—even if it’s not immediately obvious. When you hold
yourself to the same standard in your work that you do as a friend,
girlfriend, student, or otherwise, it pays off.
Every week, one full day was spent shooting in the driveway, with the
garage’s blue door as my backdrop. The night before was spent selecting
an interesting mix of vintage, ensuring that no two similar items were
listed at the same time. This way, my items weren’t competing against
one another, and I was able to maximize the potential of each. The
models were cast via MySpace, and I paid them with a post-shoot trip to
Burger Road. As I was not only the stylist, but the photographer as well, I
developed a special talent for buttoning garments with one hand while
holding my camera in the other.
When paying models with hamburgers didn’t work, I’d get in front of the
camera myself.
