Less than two hours after I wrote my last blog post, I sold my first item on Etsy! It was such an exciting moment in my small business career! Even though it was my sister that bought something, it felt great to have the opportunity to send someone something I made from scratch. I could definitely get used to this.
When they say that it's hard to sell on the saturated market of Etsy, they mean it! I opened my shop on July 9, 2013 and it took almost four months to get to this point of having just one sale. By some standards, I'm par for course, even though it may not feel like it, but I have to continue telling myself that things will eventually pick up. How long is it going to take to get at least one sale every day OR even better, multiple sales every day?
I guess I should stay in more often to work on my craft. It'll be worth it in no time.
Behind the scene view of the ups and downs of starting a new business, new crochet & knit projects, and life.
