Long time no see strangers! Well I’m the only stranger here. Sorry guys. 😔 Well to somewhat get you up to speed, no, I am not a Thousandaire…yet. No where near in fact.
On the bright side, I do feel like I’m moving in a positive direction. I sold a few Teacher Appreciation Gift Cardholders. 😀 Jeez! It made me realize that was only a month ago but it feels like foreverrrrrr and a day. Anywho, I was happy for those sales because they we without ads. Last year I sold them quite a bit but with the help of ads, so in the grand scheme of things, I made nothing ‘cause every thing went toward fees.
I also busied myself most of April and May working on an Etsy course that did open my eyes on tons of things. It was very informative. For those looking for a course, Alissa‘s Marketing for Makers Academy is great. I had my eye on it before I quit my job and wanted to begin it after I finished learning about selling low content books. Which now looking back, I wish I went ahead and started my Etsy journey first. No matter, I can’t dwell on woulda, coulda and shoulda. I have to keep going. I just have to.
So since learning some beneficial info from her course, I am working hard to implement everything I’ve learned. In a way, I feel as if my journey into this has just begun. Which is both exciting and sickening because folks, I’m not making any money and my savings are dwindling. Not the sky is falling level, but if I don’t want it to get any lower, I gotta get it in gear! I’m working on it. Things however, are slightly looking up. I am gaining more traffic. And that means a lot. Even though my sales aren’t where I would like them so far I feel I’m making some positive traction. And with the right products, that’s gold! I am not defeated yet my friends.
