ETSY: To Quit or Not to Quit

Cute CONFUSED Dog Tag...Made by Raynae

Etsy is great place to sell handmade items and to start a home business. I love all the art and creativity in one place. Ever since I first heard of Etsy I always heard the saying "Quit you Day Job!" cause Etsy made so many families become independant. All the Sucesses stories really make me believe and espscially since one of my own friends made it big on Etsy, so big she even opened a second shop!..and it's doing pretty well.

Now here's the problem, lately I've been seeing in the forum that people's sales have drop and some are warning to "Don't Quit Your Day Job!". I'm not saying I'm going to quit my job or anything, I just wanted to express my worry for the economy right now. It's suppose to be getting better, but with the CPSIA in Feb. and people pinching their dollars, I hope Etsy shops can survive.

Handmade items are always so nice and Etsy opened my eyes to so much talent in the world. I wouldn't want talented people to be unable to sell because of all the crazy new laws out there and the downfall of the economy. I guess this is just my two-cents. I hope everything will be well for everyone.

Always Take Care,

PIF = Pay It Forward

Bracelet made by NannetteBernard...Visit her shop for more great Karma bracelets.

One of my favorite finds on ETSY is PIFs. For those who haven't heard, PIF means Pay-It-Forward. On ETSY, seller's would list great items for a near-nothing price, usually 20 cents. They are doing this as a random act of kindness and hopes that the person who purchases their PIF listing will also perform some random act of kindness whether it's listing a PIF too or being nice to someone you know. It's all about spreading Good Karma and spreading more kindness around.

Well last night, I was thinking to myself that I have alot of great items, but not enough room or time to wait for them to sell. So that's why I will start listing more PIFs the whole month of January, and my readers will be the first to know when I list them. I think this is great for the people who love giveaways, but don't want to wait to know if they won, they can just buy it for almost nothing.

On the left side under my profile will be the latest PIF available in my shop, and when it sells I will list another the next day. All I ask is the buyer to pay the listing and shipping cost. This is fair because all my PIFs will be really cool items so don't miss out, check in often ^_^.

*P.S. Don't forget to ENTER MY GIVEAWAY!*
