I spent today with a migraine, making jewelry. That’s my typical day lately. Today I made many pairs of chandelier earrings. I made a few pairs with Swarovski crystal – very pretty! Most are my typical gemstones, though… carnelian, garnet, peridot, etc.<\/p>\n
I’m having a hard time getting my sales started. I haven’t sold anything on Etsy<\/a> yet. I hope that once I have some positive feedback, sales will take off. Perhaps I should have a larger inventory on Etsy<\/a>? (If anyone from Etsy is reading this, I’d appreciate advice!) Etsy<\/a> has user forums, so I’ve been reading them to try to get more marketing ideas.<\/p>\n I created an eBay store<\/a> this morning. I only have a few items up now, but I’ll get more up soon. I have auctions starting a little bit below what I charge on my web site, so go ahead and put in a bid! eBay<\/a> is kind of expensive, so I’m not sure it’ll work out, but I’m giving it a try.<\/p>\n Question of the day: Has anyone been having trouble posting comments on my blog?
