I have had my Etsy shop up since April 2008. One thing that i had known, is that you have to get your product out there. That's "Selling 101". In my research, i came across many other sellers who listed on several sites besides Etsy.....ArtFire, Zibbet, Ebay, Facebook etc. And that's awesome if it works for you. I think for products that are replenishable, such as candles, lotions, food products, makeup, etc. But for me, listing & keeping track on 3 different selling venues, has become, not only tedious, but totally unprofitable, & just a royal pain in the tush.=) So, that's why i have decided to focus totally on Etsy. The time it took me to try to keep things organized on 3 venues, i could have spent creating in the studio & that's the BEST part of my job.
I also found a post from Entrepreneur Chic today that i think can help all of us to stay a bit more organized.
I do hope you will read the entire post. She shares excellent advice in "Top 10 Ways to Boost Your Work-at-Home Productivity".
I have recently discovered her blog & felt that this blog hit home to me in what i'm trying to achieve. I'm still digging into her different posts, but already, i feel renewed inspiration. (And have my "to do lists" ready for the week. =)
On my Etsy shop, i am also having a Blow Out Clearance Sale on some discontinued items.
Feel free to stop by & do a little shopping. =) Until next week remember, God loves you & so do i. <><
Thanks so much for this post. I struggle at staying on task at times. I have printed this out and will post in my work area.
