coach7172 One of the things that I have learned from selling on Etsy is that you have to find your "niche." It is what separates your products from everyone elses of the same type. One idea would be to look at etsy and search for the type of products that you will be...

I just opened my shop there a couple weeks ago. You can list an item for 40 days and only pay .20$, plus you have a set price instead of auctions where you start cheap and hope for the best. Right now I only have 2 items up,...

coach7172 I just opened my etsy shop about a month ago (CoopsCraftyCorner.etsy.com). I have had only one sale so far on the site, but have sold some things off the site as well. So far I really like it, and like that the listing fee is only .20 per item. I really hope...

coach7172 I love to make cards and I just recently began selling them. I sometimes get ideas from looking at other cards, and then adapt them. Usually though I just tend to get an idea about something and then put it together. Sometimes, I get an idea, and try it out...

coach7172 Etsy seems to be the most popular suggestion! Thank you! Hopefully I have as much luck as your friends selling my handmade items on there as well! I may also check craigslist!

coach7172 If I do create a web page/blog for my business, how do I go about advertising it on facebook? I have a personal facebook page, am I allowed to try to advertise on there, or is that against the rules? Would it be an actual facebook account for my business? Just...

coach7172 Ha! Thank you, that is exactly what my husband keeps telling me! I know I am probably worried for nothing, but I would definitely like to do whatever I can to make sure that the transition is an easy one for us all! Or, as easy as possible anyway.

coach7172 Just out of curiosity, when doing local craft shows, how and where do you receive information about them and selling items there? For instance, would I contact the city recreation center or something like that? I really have no idea where to start! Thanks!!

coach7172 I looked at etsy a while ago, but was skeptical about it just because I had never heard of it before. Maybe it would be worth looking into again! And you are so right! I definitely don't want my hobby to become a job at the moment! Just something for a little...

coach7172 Thank you for the ideas, I will have to check in to doing some of those things. I am new to the area as we just recently moved here, but I could definitely do some research and see if they have local craft fairs or bazaars or something. I hadn't even thought...

coach7172 If you do a search on Paula Abdul, and find a bio on her, I think that you will find that she actually did have quite a musical background in both dance and singing. Are those not some of the attributes that they are looking for in the next American Idol?...

I have wondered for a very long time whether or not Tom Bombadil is stronger than Sauron. I have a few reasons to believe that Tom may be stronger... 1) The One Ring has no power over him: he can see Frodo when he wears the...

coach7172 There is much debate on whether Tom was/is stronger than Sauron. I would have to say that Tom is not a Maia at all, rather the Spirit of the Earth. At the Council of Elrond, they describe Tom's powers as powers of the Earth, such as control of nature and...

coach7172 I am not a huge fan of American Idol, and so I could be very wrong about this, but I thought Paula was on there because of her previous musical talent. Because of her musical background, that made her more qualified to be a judge on this show. I like Ellen and...

coach7172 I would definitely call, email, or go in and talk to the teacher personally about this. There is no reason to call complaining to the principal. Get with the teacher, find out his/her side of the story, and see what happened. As a former teacher myself, I...

coach7172 I always look at the price, but it doesn't usually stop me from ordering what I want. My husband and I rarely get to go out and enjoy a nice dinner together, so when we do, it really doesn't matter to us how much we spend. Of course, we don't go to very fancy...
