I've recently been trying to expand my mediums of craft (i'm also a knitter/seamstress) and considered putting all the items in one shop but I guess I should start a second one.<br /><br />Thanks again for stopping by my blog!

I have been making homemade cards for quite some time and have been thinking about starting my own etsy shop and selling my products. Recently, I finally came up with a name and created some marketing material for myself since I have been getting more recommedations from friends to create them cards for misc. occasions and I want to look "professional". <br /><br />Your recent article on your blog about your experience and it really hit home with your pricing recommendation. One of my recent jobs was to create 45 baby shower cards and I gave a really low quote because I wanted the business and thought this was a good way to go about it. But, in hind sight I should have at least charged double because I really didn't make any money off it. I think the hardest part was that this was for a friend and I felt wrong charging her so much. Perhaps it might be different when you are with selling items to strangers?<br /><br />Also, thank you for letting me know about focusing your business on one thing. I do some many different creative things besides cards (painting, little girl hair bows, photography...etc) that it's hard to narrow down what I want/should sell for my shop. This will still take some more time to figure out what sells and what is worth my time in order to make a profit, but thanks for your advice. It was very useful. <br /><br />If you are interested in checking out my blog (mainly my friends are the only ones that read it), but it has all sorts of fun items that I find that I think are cool and might inspire others to create. I am an avid Martha Stewart fan, lover of paper products (from Paper Source)and party planning blogs so most of my posts come from those. It's http://thecreativemindd.blogspot.com/# <br /><br />Best of luck to you and your business...and graduating school soon! That's a big accomplishment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355021776640493233.post-85004405582582523952010-05-16T20:21:11.290-05:002010-05-16T20:21:11.290-05:00mei! thanks for this article!

I guess it's more of a hobby for me.<br /><br />Recently, I started making felt dolls, and it's so therapeutic. :-)<br /><br />I took you up on your offer, and ordered the Scented Shortcake Heart Cookie through your website. Thanks for the free chain! <3Irithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738873257849630899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355021776640493233.post-81035896014356665142010-05-16T11:10:22.791-05:002010-05-16T11:10:22.791-05:00Irit!

No, thank YOU for taking the time to read through this :)<br /><br />While there are stores that sell their handmade goods at very low prices, I notice that there are still buyers for them. Who can resist a low price, right? I believe that people need to be educated to see the difference in quality when it comes to people's work - but at the same time I think it's a good thing that there is a demand for any handmade product. I will still support it! <br /><br />I'm glad we're on the same boat :) <br />Have you been crafting for a while now? <br /><br />I know what you mean about attempting to be perfect! My cupcake icing can sometimes take a life of its own - on better days I can get the icing to "swirl" nicely, but on other days it just won't let me manipulate it! I try and try until I finally get something that I like. Sometimes when I'm clumsy, I drop the whole cupcake on my way to the oven! :O LOL!<br /><br />If you're tempted by the Scented Shortcake Heart Cookie, you can get it at my Etsy store - it's there! <br />(If you buy it out of my own website at http://tinyhandsonline.com, I'll give you a free 18k white gold chain to go along with it :D )<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again for giving me your own input on these business aspects. It's nice to hear other people's opinions!Meihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12627605897748258021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355021776640493233.post-41885504510066683022010-05-16T05:05:41.483-05:002010-05-16T05:05:41.483-05:00Thank you so much for sharing this valuable inform...Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information!<br /><br />Regarding high vs. low prices, I couldn't agree with you more. I am also extremely wary of shops/sellers that offer items at rock bottom prices. I always wonder if maybe the items are not handmade or not original.<br /><br />I also greatly commend you for not willing to compromise on the quality of your items. I have seen too many handmade items that were far from perfectly crafted, and I always wonder how those sellers have the nerve to sell items that did not come out right. I make beaded jewelry, and would never sell an item that I didn't consider perfect.<br /><br />I have yet to make any purchases from your shop, but I must admit that I am tempted by the Scented Shortcake Heart Cookie Charm. Alas, it is no longer available in your Etsy shop... :-(Irithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738873257849630899noreply@blogger.com
