Started an Etsy account



I just finished creating my first Etsy account, and I am excited to be able to share my cards, on a website known for its crafts. I know very little about marketing this way, and see I have only minimal viewers, but it's a start. There are plenty of sales resources available, with information on how to market yourself. You can track everything from traffic, to sales, and location of your viewer. I think it's a pretty easy opportunity, to make money, doing what I love doing. I've only posted 2 cards so far, and will post more as I make them. What intrigues me, are the wedding packages people are selling. $80 for 50 cards that would take me one evening to mass produce with my digital cutting machine! There is a small commission of your sale that you pay to Etsy, but I am sure there are ways around the quantity issues for these packages. I will figure that out before I post anything like that. In the meantime, I have individual cards for purchase which you can check out here. I am taking a small reprieve card making, since the massive amount of Christmas cards I made, but I will get cracking very soon. Check back for updates, as I am sure to blog about my progress.
