I will try to keep this brief because I really should get back to my knitting, not to mention away from my computer for a bit. Well friends and neighbors I did it! I opened my Etsy store!
You can find me now – with my whopping two items on sale – at AllNightKnits on Etsy.
Also, I made a Facebook Fan Page. It felt…odd. Blatant self-promotion makes me slightly uncomfortable but if this is what I have to do to make a my dream come true, so let it be! Not everything is done, there are still so many kinks still in dire need of being worked out, but it is a start.
I had a good plan in the works that wouldn’t have me diving into this for another two and a half months, but with a dear friend recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer I thought “What am I waiting for?”. Life is short, and if you have a dream just…jump.
So there you have it friends and neighbors. If it isn’t too much of a bother, like the Facebook Fan Page – I think I got the button on my sidebar up and running- or check out the store that is sure to have more than two things in it by the end of the week.
I hope there is goodness to come from this, as horrifically nervous as I am of falling flat on my face, I am still hopeful!
Good luck! As soon as I’m home, I’ll make sure I’ll click on that page! It used to be so much simpler to run a business before FB, Twitter, blogging etc. etc. I get lost.
Well done for taking the leap.
Thank you so much!
Good luck! I’ve been on there for nearly 2 years now, and it can get VERY frustrating sometimes. Some people are an instant success, selling out their shops in a few days, and I’m just like…..”Did you make a deal with the Etsy devil?”
I will try to keep patience in mind, it is nerve wracking though isn’t it? It’s like putting a piece of yourself online! I will go look at your store!
Congratulations!!!! I hope you have a fulfilling career, what you have done it takes guts but you will do well 🙂
Thank you so much for saying so!
Best of luck with your Etsy shop!
Thank you! Worst case scenario I will have presents made for the next year…or two! 🙂
