So, I know I have four sales, but I'm feeling particularly downtrodden at this point...I feel like I'm really busting my ass here, and not seeing the results. I've read a lot of posts about waiting games and such, but I guess I'm not used to waiting for things when I feel like I'm putting a lot of hard work in. I guess I'd feel less bad about the situation if I was creating at an equal clip. At the moment, I'm spending about eighty percent of my time promoting, and probably less that that actually making products. I ordered a bunch of ring bases and cabochons for setting, but as I haven't gotten any of that stuff in the mail yet, I can't create. So, its me, being stuck here not doing very much aside from posting, posting, posting and reading about what more I can do.
I guess the problem is, I like to be totally swamped with work. Not in that messy, really frazzled way, but I like to be waist deep in activity. And as it is, I'm so not. Without things flying out of my shop, I don't feel immense pressure to create constantly and list new items like crazy. In spite of this, I'm listing all the supplies that I have, and I had one new item to list that I actually made myself, black crown earrings. I think they're pretty adorable.

There is so much jewelry on here, it takes time to get noticed. Your is unique, though!
Thanks very much. I'm trying my best to put out good products, take my time and have great photos up. I wonder a lot if people who join etsy jump right into promoting right away or sort of wait around for stuff to take off on its own. I jumped right in, so I feel like I'm really working my butt off and I want to see results. Hmmm...I might blog about that right now, actually.
