Rambling

I think I've given myself nerve damage. I've been sitting for long hours on this hard computer chair that we have, trying to find places to effectively promote LP by rJax. It's frustrating. I'm on other blog/profile sites like Deviant Art and I've handed out tons of business cards, but I still haven't been able to get a steady sales run. By steady, at this point, I'd take one a month.

Anyway my new toy is Stylefeeder. I'd heard about it before but I just signed up today. For some reason my computer doesn't generally like social bookmarking sites, so I'd left it alone. But it works nicely on my PC.

I think I should start setting weekly goals instead of this huge goals like getting 100 sales. Smaller bits are easier to chew and they'll let me feel like I'm accomplishing something.

Another of my goals is to blog regularly. Still workin' on that.

So for this week: Finish a pair of earrings and list them, retake pics of the potholders. I have other things I'd like to do...but small bits. When I get better at this accomplishing things thing, I'll put more on my plate. Currently, I've been struggling with this one earring design for about a week and a half.

I think this the longest entry to date. So I'll quit now. If you read this, congratulations!

Today I am 1 on Etsy. I was feeling pretty bad as evidenced on my Livejournal blog entry from today. I feel better now. Gosh, emotions are ridiculous. I have some new earrings in the works, new designs and old with a different color. So it goes on.

I'm not sure who if anyone reads this blog, but if you mention 'blogger' at checkout on Etsy this month (February) I'll give you free shipping.

I'm still not sure how to spend the $50 I have that I found at work all those months ago. So many ideas but no decision yet.
