Time (for a) change 🕑💇🏻♀️🪴🔃
With the move from Twitter over to Bluesky, my new social media account has been "discovered" and followed by 250+ people in less than a month! 🤯
Thanks to @sliverbaer.bsky.social and others on the platform for adding me to their starter packs! 💙
Starter packs are really cool and super powerful -- more on this later...
So far, I'm enjoying Bluesky and the general vibe there! Join us!
This week, I decided to try launching a new weekly form of recap/highlight on social media.
I didn't make individual posts throughout the week to share every time I published a model to MakerWorld, so to round up the week's uploads, I decided to simply take a screenshot of my latest model listings and share that as a post on Bluesky (and links/variations on Twitter, Threads, IG and YT).
Realizing the last five were from this week -- some fun, some functional -- and it was a Friday, I went into alliteration mode 😜
Wanting to invite others to join in to share their choice of five models, I started the hashtag #shareyourfive
So far, a few designers have joined in and highlighted their top 5 models. Pretty neat that I've been able to connect with some new-to-me designers!
This first #shareyourfive Friday, I shared my five latest uploads to MakerWorld while others shared their five models they wanted to showcase.
Maybe other times, I can share my five favorite models I designed or even share my five favorite models from other designers! 🤷🏻♀️
So many options!
How will this evolve? I don't know.
I think I just need to focus on making this a consistent Friday habit for now -- let's check back in after, say, five weeks? :) That'll be on Friday the 13th!
Back to starter packs...it's an awesome concept that is working very well on Bluesky to help connect people with others. It's an easy way for a new user to discover relevant accounts to follow.
Every user can curate starter packs of users for others to follow (Example: "3D Printing" starter pack)
There are so many good ones out there already. I still have to figure out what Bluesky starter packs would make sense for me to create...maybe super niche ones would be best?
I decided to take the starter pack concept to another platform -- it's a bit of a hack, but it can still work.
In efforts to help users on MakerWorld connect with others, I've started a collection called "3D Designers Starter Pack" -- it is open for any designer to have one of their models featured.
DESIGNERS: DM me on MakerWorld with a link to the model you would like featured in the starter pack.
💙
My hope for the "3D Designers Starter Pack" model collection on MakerWorld is to make it easy for users on the platform to find the accounts that make sense for them to follow.
I hope this helps all designers and their work be discovered on the platform by their current and future fans.
