A day before yesterday I received my first "Etsy" conversation with a costumer. In one second, even before I finished reading it I got drunk (not liquor drunk) and jumped into a wild dance. Well I started the dialog and got everything clear and instead of waiting for the approval of the order by the PAYMENT I stormed into the studio and made the candles. I am checking my e- mail every five minutes and making rounds around my tail and I don't have nails anymore. Why am I so worried? Ever since I opened my shop I kept telling myself: It takes time, even if you have the most beautiful, unique, cheapest, most eco friendly products, the "market" needs time to get to know you, you need to go out there and very loudly present yourself. Get as many circles as possible, contribute to threads get active, and…the season is slow and Rome wasn't built in on day…Still I ran to the studio and made those candles! So …
I have decided to stop beating myself. I have the candles and they are nice, and most important I have learnt my lesson (I hope) the sells will come, surely, because according to all the blogs and advice and threads that I have read, and common sense, I need to stick to my belief in me and my creations, I need to keep doing what I did in the last two weeks and more and it will work! It has too.
