I think you do absorb a lot when you look at others webshops, you can certainly see what you like and don’t like, and probably get ideas of what might work for your own. I’d like to say to Tracey who commented in the past, I absolutely hate photographs of myself, so avoid having one on my blog etc.! I’m not hiding anything – honest – I just do not want anyone to take photos of me! My jewellery is what matters, not how I look, well, it is in my view!

Like you, I am still researching to start my businesses. So many information to start a business! I look on Etsy since I thought I was going to start from them. I learned from here, from the amazing author, subscribers, and jewelry makers, that I could start on my own through other resources. Thank you! I research Etsy because 1. wanted to know if anyone came up with the same name or names that I have thought up for my own jewelry business. Guess what? There were. You don’t know how many times I had to change or come up with new names. I do believe I am going to register my business name. I don’t know if some of them are still active or not but I was not going to use the same name. Their works are great and they came up with the name first… it’s not “Losers Weepers, Finders Keepers.”… unless they give up the name. 2. I wanted to know “my competitors” others jewelry makers who are making similar or very similar jewelry like my jewelry. I gotta say, some are VERY nice. That’s their skill. God bless. I have my skill, too. I learn from them especially if they were there and making jewelry longer than I have. I also noticed about jewelry makers I look into was that most of them come from Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, and Israel and when I do a search they were on top. I also learned that even though they or any foreign country priced their jewelry at a lower price in USD like $12, does not mean they get $12. The money has to be converted once it’s in their country and they receive a higher income. They might be more expensive in their own country unless they change their price in their country but I don’t think Etsy allows that – well, with the exception of the EU, of course. I might price my jewelry that similar to theirs at $30. Expensive here in the states compare to theirs but I doubt its expensive in their country. 3. Through many jewelry makers profiles, payment methods, return, and exchange, payment, shipping, I am learning what to do and how to do it.
By the way, I have a grammarly.com app on my laptop and browser and it follows me in every site that I type words on. Great feature!
