chew on this

I've been fusing the last couple of days about the lack of sales in my Etsy store

it's discouraging to put in the work, try to do what everyone tells you you're supposed to do and have none of it work

this morning someone on one of my mailing lists was talking about waking up and finding that she had 9 sales out of her shop -- wow!

of course I went right away to see what she was doing -- heh, well -- price things at under $100 then offer a 25% off sale with free shipping

right

nuts

do you ever wonder if you're just not ever going to figure it out?

on the other hand, this morning I heard that something I had sent to someone as a gift has been the source of encouragement in a difficult time

now that's a good thing
