Shifting focus. . .somewhat
So after last weeks somewhat whiny post I actually got a sale for a piece of chainmaille. LOL Wish that worked every time, I'd whine more often. 😏
I have noticed I sell more of the wire trees than actual jewelry so I think I'm going to back off making more chainmaille and make more art instead.
I think I'm going to set up the easel and try painting again. Not sure what I'm going to paint, I like the space-scape I did last time but I'm considering a simple wild flower meadow so I can ribbon embroider over some of the flowers and add that 3-D effect. Although, my husband has some really cool glow in the dark powder paint stuff so if I do another space scene I think I'll try out some of it to make glowing stars. 😍
I'm not giving up on RainbowMaille and I'm not changing the name I'm just shifting my crafting focus a bit. 😉 It's not the chainmaille is going anywhere, I have a ton of it already made and all the rings and supplies to make just about anything anyone could ask for. I'm just not going to spend my time making more, more patterns, more styles, more colors, I have a million ideas but limited storage. LOL
Of course, if I paint a bunch of canvases and they don't sell then I'll have a whole other storage problem. 😛

up hill battle. . .
I'm so sick of fighting the up hill Etsy battle and getting no where.
I have redone photos, I've tweaked listings to all grade A SEO, I've added listings regularly, I've done everything they say you should do and it still gets me basically no where. 😟 I've got this blog but no one reads it, I've got an instagram but it's hard to get followers and even harder to keep them and no one clicks through to the Etsy, I've got the Facebook page I even pay for ads but zero results zero sales. 😩
I am actually depressed and I am seriously considering just giving up, not that anyone cares. 😑 It's really frustrating, I don't know what else to do, considering making everything $5 just to try to get rid of it. 😖 What else am I supposed to do with hundreds of pieces of jewelry?
