What a day, take a step forward get shoved back 3. Internet problems, so I loaded AOL free 3 month trial, Dial up..sucks but I am back on Internet. I was composing a thank you E-mail for a possible customer and sent it by accident before I got it right, customer not to happy, so I probably lost my first sale,that sucks. Keeping my fingers crost. Being flat broke and trying to start a business is not easy, but I am not giving up. I see I have 1 follower,yeah, hoping for more. Get a lot of followers and get them to click on my blog ads will help out I hope. Google adsense pays for each click,shame you can not click your own ads,lol. I will be checking my followers and clicking thier ads,too. For some reason I can not get to Twitter from AOL....Already put my blog and shop http://woodnamesandmore.etsy.com in my favorites,now I need to get to Twitter and Flickr. I just joined flickr so I can post pictures of my work and fellow Etsy shops. Back to work, need to promote and sell my work, which is all custom made. Look forward to hearing from you.

The cookout is over, I can back to promoting me Esty shop. woodnamesandmore.esty.com That was a lot of people at the cookout, hit them all up to link my sites to thiers and thier friends.Still nothing from my first order...but if they order it won't take long to finish and send,preped everything,high hopes. Still need to check on tweetpics, suppose to be able to load pics on twitter. Heard someone in the etsy chat room talkijg about flickr being a good site to promote. The little break from the internet did me some good,I have been at this for almost a week nonstop. I hope they all come thru with linking my shop to thier spaces. More exposure is better and helps promote. I am hoping that if they share with thier friends they will be more likely to buy. Between my shop,Twitter, checking E-mail and my blogspot I am staying very busy, and I need to join some more sites that are free and keep them updated.I need to get hold of esty support and find out if I can use Esty.com on fliers I plan to make. Here is where the kids come in,I will make the fliers and get them to pass them out. I know I do not have time to pass them out.Time to go to tritter and then tweetpics. When I succeed at making my shop work you will be able to read my blog and follow what I did and have a successful business. Till next time, good luck in your ventures.

last minute family cookout,love the 1 hr. notice. I might have messed up my first sale. I was trying to compose a really good thank you reply and sent it by accident before it was ready. The reply back was not good,but it was my fault. I can only pray, they still order.Now Iam nervous.....Live and learn, do not compose thank you till the deal is done. Good tip for all who are following. I still think this etsy store is the most legitamet online business I have found. On with the journy to success with no investment. Wish me luck and thank you to who ever is following.

Good morning evryone. It's a wonderful morning, I recieved my first inquiry for 2 custom names. Responded quickly with the info requested and gave a little nudge to buy them,not too pushy,just alittle discount. It came from a person in the Esty community,it's basically a chat room for people who are signed up for Esty.com.You can join different chats and show off your store,get ideas to promote your shop, Other people will critic you sop page and give ideas to improve,help you if you are having a problem or not knowing how to do something. The Esty is chat rooms are very helpful and it's all free. From talking to other sellers it usually takes a while (about a month) before making your first sale, I have only been at etst.com for a week. My adsense has been approved and up and running. Now I need some followers and for them to click on an ad. Clicking on an ad on my blog is free for you and I get a little money from google. If you have or start a blog let me know, I will follow you and you can follow me. Then we can click on each others ads, you can't click on your own add. As normal don't forget to check my shop woodnamesandmore.esty.com if you have time leave me alittle comment, I would like to add comments about my shop in my blog so everyone can see how this journey to success is going. back to Twitter then the etsy chat and then thinking about sing up for Flicr.
