My first week I had three sales and I have only listed a few items while I figure it all out, but it's definitely worth it I think. Those are sales I might have had to pay a booth fee to get or commission to a gallery...Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399924376677082295.post-83934028962588206102010-12-17T07:08:23.141-05:002010-12-17T07:08:23.141-05:00Like you say you get back what you put in- but I a...Like you say you get back what you put in- but I am wondering who is going to make the work while I am here....<br />Happy Holidays and I'll see your few grays and raise you by a head full!cookingwithgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456258592273328486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399924376677082295.post-48638736132375893252010-12-17T00:32:46.703-05:002010-12-17T00:32:46.703-05:00yeah, etsy is a ton of work but the online thing s...yeah, etsy is a ton of work but the online thing seems to be the way things are going nowadays so i guess it's something we'd better get used to. <br /><br />it is nice to have one more source of sales to add to the mix. on their own my etsy sales are not that impressive but add that to the showroom, art fairs, wholesale, orders, etc. it all adds up. i think to be a successful artist/craftperson you have to have your hands in a few different pots, so to speak.brandon phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410108166763940251noreply@blogger.com
