My cat's watching a squirrel outside the window right now, & if I'm really lucky, he will jump over here, knock all the candles off the window sill, and spill my coffee!!!
ANYWHO... Sometimes I feel slightly overwhelmed by all of the Facebooking, & Twittering, & Blogging, & Posting, & Listing, & Chatting, & Texting, & etc. It was worse when I first started, but now that I have the basics under control, I find myself overextended in all of the "promoting" that I try and pull off. I've weeded out alot of the extra Networking sites and mainly focus on:
Facebook
Twitter
Blog
Flickr

Hi Chrissy, I like http://craftgossip.com/ just for fun. I twitter and Flickr I don't have time to spend on facebook because it makes me feel like a moron. I like the felting forum http://feltingforum.com/phpbb/index.php?c=6 because I can always learn something new or find new places to get wool. I had a shop at artfire and a shop at 1000markets but no business I think you have to take to much time promoting them. I have listed a couple of things on ebay with no luck but I think some of your high end stuff may do well there.
ReplyDeleteThanx for the suggestions! Ebay is such a BEAST!! I used to love the FeltingForum, but they always seem to freeze my account because of inactivity. I've gotten it reopened once already, and just need to write Kay & get it up and going again.
