This will mark my 4th post of the month, and will also mark the 4th and final subject of this blog.In case you didn't catch on, we've got 4 main topics going on here:
+Food
+Fitness
+Books
+Self-Marketing
This hyphenated last topic is all about selling and marketing my own creative talent in a way that can hopefully make me some extra dough on the side.
So far, no physical progress, but plenty of mental progress! These things take time and patience. If you haven't already checked out etsy.com at some point in your web surfing, you should. I discovered it over a year ago, and have found tons of cool stuff on there that I'd buy if I had the money. Wonderful modern handmade gifts and vintage stuff too.
I've thought about putting my own stuff on there, but didn't really know if it would sell... So finally after many rave reviews of my work and encouragement from people over the holidays, I've decided an etsy store can't hurt, and could be a great first step in some sort of direction.
I've got a little more research to do to make sure I carve myself a unique niche, but as soon as I get the rest of the photos taken of my stuff, I'll at least get the store started.
I plan to make a trip very soon to Urban Arts and Crafts to generate more ideas and inspiration. Cheers! to the beginning of using a random talent -- Making adorable tiny things out of polymer clay. Who knew?
And yes, those owls are my design, fresh out of my brain for the 2008 Holiday. Copyright - Me.
Stay tuned for next month... I'll still be commentating on reading, eating, working out and hopefully have an etsy store up and running!
