Yeah, I started advertising my crafts when I was in uni., too. One or two people have tried to throw it back in my face over the years (‘all that work for menial pay; why bother?’) but I was in it for the joy of it, not the money. I’m still happy to do it for people but I don’t advertise it anymore. I leave it in the hands of people to reach out individually if they want me to write/proof-read or cook something for them.
