I too just jumped in and am backing up to regroup starting with researching my competition and networking. This is awesome site that I’ve listened to for over year. Now it’s time for action and look forward to reporting on my journey thanks in large part to you Rena and your great guest articles.

Thank you for writing this article. Your website is great! I hope you don’t mind if I ask you a question – have you ever sold your wonderful pieces on websites such as Etsy? If so, what prompted you to have your own website?

So that was two questions! 🙂

Thank you for your time!

Sylvia

Especially your info sections, and how your items are grouped by price.. I may copy a few of those ideas if you don’t mind. I’ve always been frustrated with my website..

Embrace all other artisans no matter what it is they create, you can learn and grow so much and always always help people when they need it. These things come back to you in the long run! I have made so many connections and befriended people I’ve never even met in person. Sharing information and knowledge is a wonderful thing, we are not here to compete with each other!

I’ve just started my business and still getting my feet wet selling at craft shows. Where I live there seem to be so many craft shows at schools and they are saturated with people selling jewelry. It’s so hard to compete with so many other jewelry artists. The last craft show I did was horrible. Practically no traffic and it wasn’t well advertised. My website is not complete because it takes so much time for me to take pictures when I need to be making jewelry to sell. At the last show I did one of the vendors said that they do better at Fairs and Festivals rather than local craft shows. Any advice would be appreciated.
