Bet you wonder what my day is like..

 

My days are really a bit structured.. it is the only way I can accomplish things to be honest.. I start off with a To Do List daily..  First I feed the cats and get my coffee.. then I play games online (both for pleasure as well as making $$ and gift cards).. usually until 11:30 to 12 Noon.. then if I dont have anything scheduled like Dr appts or going to crochet group or going to the Y, I sit down and first check and see if anything sold.. if so, I pack orders.. then I send ads out for my various sales sites.. 

Currently I am selling on eBay (in two sites, one for someone else), Facebook Marketplace, Vinted, TraderKat and Listia.. I send ads for sales in each site on Facebook groups plus Bluesky... 

Then I try to add a few new items to each store if possible.. After I get done with that.. then I work on either scanning items for sale or taking photos of items for sale.. downloading the pictures and cropping as needed.. so they are ready for the next day.. that is until dinner time.. after dinner, that is my crocheting time (unless I am too pooped.. lol).. I crochet for a couple of hours.. hit the sack and play a few more games.. and read a book and to sleep I go.. just to start it all over again.. once in a while I literally crash.. then I dont get anything done.. lol.. 

Now after reading the Handmade Marketplace.. I am going to TRY to add a blog entry twice a week.. hopefully I will be able to..

Fall Towels - Group 2

 Most these ones are NOT on Bonanza yet.. and they wont be.. if they sell at the craft fair.. it doesnt make sense for me to add them there.. if there isnt a link.. that means it is a new item.. Each towel is $4 and it doesnt include postage if you wish to have these mailed..

Reading an interesting book..

The Handmade Marketplace - 2nd Edition by Kari Chapin #karichapin

I ordered this from the library just for some ideas on how to improve my store.. both ideas on how to improve items as well as ideas on how to improve contacting people.. This book has lots of ideas.. many that I dont really need as I dont want to have a major business, but just one to sell items as I make them.. I have so many ideas of items to make.. I just dont want to spend the time and money if they dont work out.. a few already havent.. worked out.. 

One of the major sections I found helpful is blogging.. I find this hard to do.. I dont know why.. I shouldnt... but I do.. I need to put this on my To Do List at least once a week just so I have contact with people.. 

I am wondering.. is there any thing in particular you would like me to talk more about.. I will make a list of ideas and see what flows from there..
