For example, I'd happily swap one of my printed tram cushions for a set of drawings I could frame for my kids' room. If you didn't want a cushion for yourself you could use it as a Christmas present for someone, saving yourself money. You could build up a huge stockpile of presents to give to people you'd otherwise spend money on. A penny saved is a penny earned!Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257294267302489273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-64580920677236402932011-10-21T11:23:14.620+11:002011-10-21T11:23:14.620+11:00**shaking you gentle by the shoulder** just start....**shaking you gentle by the shoulder** just start. now. get a big glass of water and sit down and start.Cath @ chunkychookyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926661077860579075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-27900274400967560442011-10-21T10:02:14.288+11:002011-10-21T10:02:14.288+11:00Its fabulous Take the plunge and do it your work i...Its fabulous Take the plunge and do it your work is fabulous!JulieThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284419743769712682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-34270534680154736232011-10-21T10:00:45.371+11:002011-10-21T10:00:45.371+11:00I love your picture - your princess has fabulous h...I love your picture - your princess has fabulous hair!<br />I think it is hard to put yourself out there, but it can be quite rewarding as well.

When I started my shop a few months ago I had no connections to the handmade/craft industry...and had never even read a blog let alone written one! But even so, customers have found me and slowly but surely things have sold. And if you love making things, having an online shop gives you more excuses to do exactly that, but all at your own pace. You should go for it!CottonAndCardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110544754718215534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-8942645911600595822011-10-20T20:57:55.929+11:002011-10-20T20:57:55.929+11:00Oh yes and I would looooooooove a photoshop lesson...Oh yes and I would looooooooove a photoshop lesson!CurlyPopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073292585833387749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-4144638816777504672011-10-20T20:57:17.073+11:002011-10-20T20:57:17.073+11:00Amazeballs!

I am terrified of opening up an etsy shop after my madeit one only sold a few things - but it was only open for a few months, so I am (probably) being very hard on myself. I did sell lots and lots of things to friends and family, I need to remind myself that. It just takes time.<br />Vic, your gorgeous prints would SO sell - they are so lovely and fun and would be loved by children and adults alike.<br />Go for it girl - when you are ready though and on your terms.Cat from Raspberry Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600066841446342922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055537238073126977.post-583722858127301812011-10-20T16:16:13.169+11:002011-10-20T16:16:13.169+11:00Wow great art work

She too is fearful - the thought (of an online business) makes her feel quite vulnerable.<br />One of the things that I said to her was that I always felt that it was such a shame that more people did not have access to her work - that the few of us that are so fortunate to receive her gifts or stumble upon her stall - gain so much.<br />Put yourself out there so others too can gain pleasure in your creations - and in that - the rewards will be so much for you too!!!

I don't sell much at all in my online stores, but people see the stuff there and ask for their own custom things after seeing stuff there. You can experiment with different things and see what people think and take it from there. <br />The main piece of advice (given to my by the excellent mentor Cath)is to relist one item a day on etsy. It will get you to the top of the list/page and get lots of traffic to your store!XXXJenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216064393228303942noreply@blogger.com
