I love etsy. I truly, truly do. I just can't seem to sell much lately and it is getting me down. People seem to love my work in person where they can touch it, turn it over, get a good idea of size and scale, etc., but it doesn't translate to online sales. Sigh.So what to do?
I have posted an item to eBay to see what happens. Unfortunately, I had to put a starting bid price of $35, which I am told,by those in the know, will prevent it from moving at all. Que sera sera, I guess. I can't afford to have a piece that took several hours go for $2!
So, what is an artist to do? Do I start looking for local shops to sell my items? Does that require a contract? Yikes!
I am going to try 3 series of postings on eBay. If none of them bear fruit, I will have my answer. At that point, I will have to reconsider how I am going about things.
This one is listed as a pixie, though I usually have called these guys brownies. I was told by a wee folks buff that they couldn't possibly be brownies as they aren't wearing brown.
Until next time, happy crafting!
Theresa
