I looked at your listings when you first posted this thread and thought “gosh, that's a lot of words. I'll come back to it a little later.” And I am coming back to it later, but I also thought it would be good to point out that other people–potential buyers–might have that same thought (“that's a lot of words, I'll come back to it later”) but…[Read more]

Jess – that's a huge help! Thanks!

I do have a bit of a list going for both ideas and requirements for submission. I'm going to add some things after reading your suggestions!

Hey Katie!

If it helps, we pay people $40-$50/post for the PLY Magazine blog, so your price range in trade sounds like a good one! I think a lot of people will be excited to see their name on your blog, and they'll want to tell all their friends, etc. so I think that in and of itself is a bonus to the actual payment.

You might want to think…[Read more]

Hi Sasha,

I immediately clicked over to read this when I logged into the starship just now. I actually just made the decision this weekend to take a week off and will do so starting Wednesday. I'll be putting my etsy shop on vacation mode for the first time since I opened it in 2013.

I'm also going to remove all work-related notifications from…[Read more]

@sasha-torres. So many hugs. I'm really sorry and I know the past year has just been filled with “things” for you.

Look at this thread, it might give you some comfort.

Answers to your ask: Oh man. How about two years or more of feeling completely inadequate, hating myself, not being able to make anything happen, and not selling anything, so…[Read more]

PS: I've already decided to close the shop for the first two weeks in May and get off the content-creation merry-go-round for that time. I'll do some traveling and rest and try to find my mojo again.

Thanks! I used to think I was good about giving myself time off – but it is so easy to fall into that trap again…

@tanja-osswald That's awesome! One of the struggles of being self employed is how difficult it is to take time off…

Thank you!

@tanja-osswald Wow. That is great!!

Kathi

thanks for the EO info – great stuff

another one I always have around is Thieves Blend (YLO) to fight of sickness – can't remember the name of Eden's Garden same thing though

my DH has had a terrible virus for a month and I haven't gotten it – I put it on the soles of my feet, my neck and I sniff it to get it in my brain!!

well I don't spin or knit and I want them!!

only thing from a total novice is that I would like the testimonials in a different font

I should add –

My book listings are getting a handy 3% conversation rate across the board.

My recipe are getting like 0% conversation rate. Haha! But I know that without them I sell many less books, so I think despite needing their rates improved they are pulling weight for the books.

My overall conversation rate is about 1.5-1.75 though.…[Read more]

Good luck, @susan-heyn!

Sorry about my lack of checking in! I've been going through the material, though, so I'll try to catch up here now. 🙂 I realized a couple of things while going through chapters 3/4: that I'm not completely sure “what else (my) people are talking about” (pg. 47) and that I need a better follow up plan with past customers. I set up an email that…[Read more]
