So after a year+ back on etsy I've decided it's cheaper to just run my own site and I'll probably still have the same amount of sales
Etsy is costing me about $150 a year and I'm selling about $30 more than that.... that's a lot of fees
Which if I have to pay retail or even wholesale for supplies, it's basically $0 profit and the only reason I had any profit this last year is because most of my sales were digital patterns
So now I'm creating yet another website and realizing I have so (1/?)
Much stock I never listed and why are there so many earrings? I have about half of them listed, & all the memory wire bracelets, but none of the regular ones or necklaces.
And I still have like 50 knitted beanies I need to photograph plus other things.
I'm tired just thinking about it too be honest.
I'm also kinda of dreading having to do more self-promotion but maybe that will get easier in time
Today's goal is to finish photographing & listing the earrings. (2/?)
