Hi all,
I've posted about Etsy a few times before, quite honestly - I was beginning to lose the will to live , continually feeding stuff into there, like wot your s'posed to do and getting no sales - OK, it's only 8/9 weeks - but a sniff of something ?...nahhh.
And as for joining forums and groups and doing self - promotion, that really isn't my thing, it should be, but it isn't....
Anyway, last Friday brought an enquiry as to shipping to US for a cheeseboard - about the same as the cost of the cheeseboard, madam - and that was that.
Then yesterday a custom sale for a couple of Picture frames (UK) and this morning a very, very, very nice lady from Seattle wants to buy almost 1/3rd of the shop, and is that alright? - you bet it is !
The moral of this story, if you've got something worth selling....keep on banging your head against that wall, you may get something back in return for all the headaches.
Chris.
