Working it

Now that the new year is officially begun, (The girls are back to school!) I need to get serious about getting this business idea off the ground.

One small thing that helps me out a lot is talking with my sister. She and I are both trying to do very similar things but are approaching it from different directions. We decided last summer to try to talk once a week or so about different ideas and to give each other encouragement and motivation. Today she called me for our post-holiday wrap up and so we could get each other going again for the new year. I really needed it because I totally lost focus this past month.

One small step I've been taking just to try to raise some funds and get my name out there is to work on my etsy shops a bit more. This month I've been focusing on my photography shop. I've been adding new images and trying to list and re-list regularly to keep my items at the top of the category.

Soon I will spend some time rephotographing some items for my other shop and updating my listings there and see if that helps at all.

I'm also going to look into buying some online advertising somewhere but I haven't done enough research in that direction yet.

In the mean time, to keep things cohesive, I've added two pages to this site featuring my etsy items and direct clickable image links to etsy. Look in the column on the right under 'Pages' for links to those pages. Feel free to browse, no pressure.
