 Ok so let's be real.

How cringe is it to post this? To be honest I like it and had fun making it and choosing a color palette.

But I can't convince myself to post it on Twitter. It's like I'm a try hard. It would make sense if I had 100k followers but with 1000 it's just cringe.

I need some honest feedback. This type of selling might not have it's place in a small community.

 I think it looks very classy/professional. 👍I don’t understand what would be cringe about it: you’re a small biz, you sell stuff. This kind of thing is right up the Black Friday/Small Business Saturday alley. 
 It's not the allure of the info graphics  that make me feel this but the intent behind it.

"Please buy my stuff"

It's tough to sell and promote. It's not the part that I like. But glad that wasn't your feeling seeing this. 
 I completely understand that feeling from trying to promote my own stuff. 🫂 It’s difficult to be the Marketing Department. 

Try and think of it as if you were advising someone else: if you saw this from someone else, how would you feel about it? 

It’s not begging or asking; putting stuff like this out there is how you inform folks that it exists, because if you don’t, no one else will. 
 How would I know that you have a sale if you don’t tell us? 
 I could just say

"Hey guys I have put the belts on sale" and add a picture.

It's the way I say it. The tone. Should it be professional or casual.

Maybe both. Maybe that's the solution. I both post this professional looking graphic and write "hey guys, I've put the belts up for sale." 
 I think you got it man 
throw out the casual post first and then the infographic. or the other way around. maybe just not at the same time 
 Don’t think it’s cringe lol keep going dawg
