I was about to say that is why I came back is because I got an email from you guys and I was like oh hey :D

[littl3chocobo]

yeah XD glad you returned though

[Raizu]

Me too everyone is so nice here and I'm drawing again so it's all good for me :3 Hopefully this site doesn't close though. Gonna budget $10 every month to give to this site to try and help a little.

[littl3chocobo]

yeah, my donating is equivocal to my selling stuff out of my etsy shop

[Raizu]

O: what do you sell on etsy? I used to sell soap and what not when I was 17/18

[littl3chocobo]

not much; https://www.etsy.com/shop/sweetcoconutpie hopefully things will pick up, i am a couple hundred in right now

[Raizu]

You have very cute stuff I love cake items! I wish you luck <3 I was also in about $150 - $200 and never sold anything on etsy but I did manage to spread the word through friends and local businesses and got around $80 in sales through that :D

[littl3chocobo]

oh my XD but it is nice you got a little back at least, did you have fun with it?

[Raizu]

I loved what I did I'm just sad I don't do it anymore. I can't really do it now because I gotta pay for school/gas/adult responsibilities. Really wish I could though it was so fun mixing oils and creating new things.

[littl3chocobo]

i am not really fit to do anything else so i am doing what i wanted to do which is create, i just wish people liked my stuff a little more X''D not quite good enough, open a week and only one item sold even with lots of promotion

[Raizu]

Thats still really good :3 with a lot of promotion I never sold anything for the 5 weeks I was on etsy. It wasn't until like 6 weeks after I sold my first thing. You're doing great so far keep your head up and stay positive :3

[littl3chocobo]

haha, i keep being told if i am not selling anything make more to sell

[littl3chocobo]

on a related note, do you have any pictures of what you used to sell?

[Raizu]

Mmm that wouldn't hurt as long as you don't make too much and put yourself in too much more debt, but its true what they say "gotta spend money to make money." Maybe make like one or two more items? Might spark some more interest?

EDIT: hold on lemme see if I have anything on this computer from my store

[littl3chocobo]

well other than the cost of putting it in shop it costs nothing, i have plenty of materials it is just that if you over-produce you cause the value of your work to fall out vxv

[Here was a citrus soap I made, art was by my friend who I'm gonna try and get to sign up here] I really do miss doing this though.
