Now begins the job of getting readers

I now have 2 shops for my jewelry and this blog as well as I Twitter. Then would follow that new people would find these sites and enjoy them as much as I. So the question is---how do I do that? There are many suggestions on the Etsy and Artfire sites and I need to look over all of them to see what needs to be done. Self promotion is not my strong suit but I need to get out of my comfort zone and see what I can do about it, soon.

I am thinking of ways to specialize my jewelry to set mine apart from all of the others. To that end I received 2 books today from Amazon.com. You Made It....Now Sell It!!! The Ultimate Guide To Selling Your "Handmade Jewelry" by Susie Bradford Edwards and Marketing and selling your handmade jewelry by Viki Lareau. I will be reading these from cover to cover while I am at dialysis for 5 hours at a time.

I will share tid bits from them later.

  1. You are well on your way to getting things going. Just start writing interesting articles about what you are doing and what is going on in your shops.
