My Etsy Shop

A long time ago when my shop was open I opened an Etsy shop. I never sold anything from it.  But, I never maintained it either!

So,  I thought I would give it a another go!

Now that I'm working on my blog and videos, I thought I'd try to sell my crafts.  I love making things,  and they accumulate in my house.  Free Art Friday is my saving grace,  I put my crafts out for that,  and that gives me pleasure.  But many people tell me how much they like things I make,  so why not try to introduce them to a new audience?

I'm never sure what I'm doing when I start something. I love to Google my questions,  to learn what others are doing,  but usually that just leads to more questions! I'm learning patience,  which is the best way to learn!

Taking a jump,  learning from others, observing others and being patient.  I'm not looking for success,  not in a 'I can retire' kind of way,  just successful enough where I can continue doing what I'm doing and getting the positive response to keep me motivated!

So. . Blog,  videos,  Facebook page, Etsy, Free Art Friday, I'm lovin it!

  1. I'm sure you'll find that success, whatever scale or modulation you want. The key here is to keep on producing work, as well as to vary the presentation and the packaging of this work, so that it will reach out to as many people as possible. Etsy helps in bringing your stuff to their attention instantaneously, so that is something you must maintain. You just have to find ways to launch it well, and keep it that way. Good luck!

  2. Thanks Jennefer! I really appreciate your advice. I've actually just started considering packaging. I'm working on my "brand". I really want to capture my customer's attention. So, work, explore and work some more!
