It's just such a strange phenomena -- to work incredibly hard throughout a few years to really build it from scratch -- then to have it explode into something wonderful. Something where you can almost see the light of "why yes, I can make this work." Then -- something changes. Something you really can't figure out what -- like you have worked on SEO for the shop, worked on photography, perfected your product and descriptions, and still you are often dead in the water.
It's a time to just maybe thing about having other venues. I have played with the idea of my own shop / storefront website, but to be honest I am not very good at coding. (Don't worry, I still try, lol). So, instead, I keep plugging away on Etsy -- feeling like a "new" or "undiscovered" shop this holiday season.
So -- I played around with Artfire -- another handmade venue -- which has a nifty Etsy import thing to make integration pretty easy. However, what Artfire doesn't have for me is an app that goes "cha-ching" whenever someone purchases an item. Also, not as easy to integrate into my Facebook platform -- also I am not familiar with how guilds work as opposed to teams, and since its the holidays, I really can't spend time I should be creating / listing / mailing on reading up on how to rebuild a shop again.
But -- I did figure out how to do this little thingy :)
