Let Social Media Help Sell Your Jewelry Online

by Elizabeth.

Rena, you have done such amazing things for me. I continue directing people to your site, and consider your Social Networking e-book such a GREAT asset to jewelry designers.

I have been telling them about you!

To everyone reading this post, I have struggled with a debilitating chronic disease that has had me in and and out of the hospital. Even worse, I suffer daily from Chronic Computer Illiteracy!!!

If that’s not enough to throw a bash of a pity party then well, I finally started laughing at myself after crying so much!

Who was at the other end of my computer when I needed it most? Right, you guessed it – RENA’s website!

Only now, after reading this e-book over and over – initially not being able to make sense of anything – have things picked up for me in a very interesting way.

Thanks to RenaMeister, things started making sense, and they are starting to work!

What a lull it had been. I was ready to give up! As in “pack up the studio, lie in bed all day and give in to the chronic pain”. As in, hasta la vista, baby!

But that is not me. I do not give up.

Maybe all of you can relate to the fact that I just needed to stop thinking so hard!

Thanks to you, Rena – I made some nifty sales this week online AND used my ProPay Account (once again taking your advice about which Merchant Account Service to use – thanks!), and now my engine is fueled to shuttle off in a new direction!!!

Thanks to a great website, I was able to muster up the courage to get one of my jewelry designs on a movie star.

She was thrilled, and the person who referred me to her (Melinda Winner, author of “Cooking With Arthritis” – WHOM I MET ONLINE!) was thrilled too.

That was a win-win situation all around, I’d say! What does that say about the information in this e-book?

Seriously, this is not something that just happens to people. You have to work it, and work it hard, but guidance is where Rena takes over the Mother Ship.

It’s true what Rita Juhlin says about how it is best to start with one thing and then build, using Rena as a perfect example. What a beautiful gift it is to have such valuable information with which to build an important foundation.

Rena gives me reasons to always move forward, even if it is one step at a time.

Getting Rena’s e-book, Social Networking – Sell Your Jewelry Online was a good start.

Thank you, Rena and Rita!

Thank you, Elizabeth!
by: Rena

First, CONGRATULATIONS on your successes! Woo Hoo!

How thrilling to have your handmade jewelry worn by a celebrity.

Your success story is the perfect example of “don’t give up before you get there.” Suddenly all of your efforts start to pay off and things begin to fall into place. And what a thrill it is when that happens!

And second, thank you so much for all your kind praise. It’s thrilling for me to hear that my book and website helped you so much.

You have to give yourself the biggest part of the credit though, Elizabeth – because YOU are the one who took the information and applied it when you saw the opportunities!

And I echo your praise and thanks to our lovely friend Rita Juhlin – she is endlessly generous in helping and encouraging our fellow jewelry artists! I look on her as a true Wise Woman.

Congrats again on your successes, Elizabeth! I’m so happy for you.

Congrats!

Way to go! You must be thrilled pink to have gotten that sale.

I guess I will have to break down and buy the book too. Although I consider myself a learned man, I also know that you cannot know it all and I pride myself in (1) learning something new every day and (2) teaching something to someone else every day.

Be well!

Just When You Think It Is Hopeless
by: Suzan Evans

Dear Elizabeth
While reading your thoughts and comments on your personal experience I felt that huge part of me was really you.
While I do not suffer from chronic pain, I do suffer with other emotional issues.
I have purchased Rena’s other books but the social networking ones.
I struggle on a daily basis wondering how I am going to make this business work and feeling very alone as there is really no one I can talk to around here.
It is by artists like yourself, and Rena for having the skill, intelligence and wisdom to share with us, that we somehow find the courage to go on.
You need to be very proud of yourself and celebrate the successes you have worked so hard to achieve.
Your work is beautiful.
If there are any suggestions you can offer me, I would be most appreciative.

Keep up the great work

Best regards
Suzan Evans

You are not alone

Suzan,

First of all, you are NOT alone and I’d like to know how you determine success. I’d love to see your work. Can you share with us? Thanks.

Elizabeth

Congratulations!
by: Paula Huckabay

Congratulations Elizabeth! You should be extremely proud! You are so right about working, and working hard. I have always found that when things are slow the best way to leave the slump behind is to “make something happen”! Looks like you have done a great job of that. Best to you and much continued success. I am also grateful that we have Rena Klingenberg and Rita Juhlin both in our lives, thanks ladies for all you do!!!

Believe it is out there
by: April Schwaegerle

Elizabeth your jewelry is so well designed and beautiful.

Stay the course during the ebb and flow of your work. It is a challenge…like navigating in unchartered waters. Wasn’t this how America discovered? Believe it is out there for you…and it will be.

Beautiful
by: Ashley Boynes

Your jewelry is all just gorgeous!

It takes a person who is truly beautiful from within to create such masterpieces that are beautiful on the outside.

It must radiate from you!

Creative, pretty, priceless…..not everyone is so lucky as to find their calling in life, but you have surely found yours.

I hope that this jewelry making provides an outlet in which to forget the pain and reach for the stars!

Good job, I love it!

Heartwarming
by: Elizabeth

These posts are so heartwarming that I have to admit that a teardrop just went down the left hand corner of my right eye. This is humbling.

This is the support that everyone needs. It is the reason I love Rena’s site. I feel the love here! I’d still be honored if Susan Evans could show us her work. Susan, we have not forgotten you…

Rena – I hit up the plumber yesterday. Oops. that did not sound good. I meant that I wouldn’t let him leave my house without buying something for Mother’s Day. I held him hostage….it added to my (small, but they add up) in home repertoire of repair men for our outdated appliances: washing machine repair man, my boiler technician, air conditioning man, cable guy and dishwasher repair man, and as this house continues to fall apart, my home bound state from this illness is looking good!

Love and many thanks to all of you,

Elizabeth

I love it, Elizabeth!
by: Rena

For anyone who may not know, Elizabeth does indeed have a great track record of selling her lovely jewels from home.

Her repairmen are thrilled to do such wonderful gift shopping – so painlessly!

You can see her cute cable guy buying jewelry gifts for his loved ones.

Keep up the great work, Elizabeth! You’re filling a definite need with your lovely jewelry.

Your are right when you say we are like a family. Evey one is supporting and encouraging you and I would be more than happy for you to look at my website. I don’t know if I can give it to you here, if not I will contact you on your website.
