Living in another country where you are not familiar with the language has it's ups and downs. Unfortunately, I was a bit down, BUT, yesterday I spent time with an amazing person and actually got inspired and fired up to update my blog, my inventory and start working on more of my jewelry.
For those of you that don't know, I make my own jewelry and have an Etsy shop of my own. The Etsy store is RememberLove.etsy.com .
Here is a sample of one of my pieces. I call it "Smokey Chocolate".
Since starting this blog I had my first sale and I am up to sale number 4. I am very excited about this since I felt a bit of validation. Starting an Etsy shop (as many of you know), is no easy task. With so many wonderful shops and talented artists, it's hard to stand out amongst the masses. My advice: HANG IN THERE! You will sell your first piece, and once you do, you won't be able to get the ball to STOP rolling. I heard somewhere that it takes about up to 2 to 3 months to get your first sale...YIKES! But don't worry, keep up your marketing and continue posting those pieces, you'll get there.
Once (and when) I reach my 1000 sale, I'm having a big party <---that's my goal for this year, call it a "mid -year new year resolution" if you will.
Now, in honor of our new Etsians and those still needed their first sale, I'm going to dedicate this post to our "POUNCE'" feature on Etsy, "UNDISCOVERED" and see what we can find. Shall we...
