I think this is agood one

Should sellers that are overworked tamp it down?

I don't think so. I mean, I am actually jealous. I'll admit that. But really, expressing my jealousy might hurt their feelings and really, did they do anything to me? Probably not. So I'll go and be jealous over here. I'm being honest about my jealousy, because people who never admit that they have any human emotions sort of scare me.

I also think problems are relative. Some folks may think that I'm silly to get jealous when I have nearly a hundred sales, but I want to sell several times per week, not just one! To me, a hundred sales is chump change, because I am playing business, not playing hobby. When you're playing hobby, any sale is good, when you're being a business, you want to be sustainable.

Now, I don't want to be so busy I get any sicker. But I'd like sales 5 days per week. But I'll probably never be able to, because I'm so unfocused. So I'll sit here, waiting for my sinus meds to work.

In treasury! Will screen shot later. Packing now

Note to etsy folks: nobody likes that guy. As folks say, be human! And nobody likes the click on my junk guy either.

Is social media borked?

Is social media borked because we game the system? On one hand, yes. Spam clogs the lanes, making it tougher to move towards stuff you like. On the other hand, not all people hoping to promote their business through social media are very good at it, so those clumsy attempts can be easily sidestepped. Another important thing is that people can connect and add value while promoting. The truth is that nobody wants to come back for 30 posts… Continue

about the experiment

I'm doing a no renewing for the month of April experiment on etsy. The rules are as follows: no renewals at either shop; whether it's my jewelry shop or my supply shop. Listing new items is OK. I'm hoping to see if I can reduce my etsy bill and if sales will stay the same or decline. I also am blogging extensively about the experiment.
