Hello, again... My blogging efforts are really in sad shape. I'm not sure what will happen with them, but we can find out together. :-)
I have been working on how to get everything done, what to focus on first, and the path to the future. It is an ongoing battle in my life. I decided to try PROJECT WEEKS and see if that gets my listings up and sales going.
The plan is to focus on one crafting project a week... like one week of art, one week of resins, one week of polymer clays, etc. Then I can list what looks like it is worth buying! :-)
In the listing process, I am still trying to make PATREON my first priority. My Patrons the special people in my life. They will have access to Patreon-only options and products. So I will have to work out how to achieve that.
My ETSY shop will be for other items.
My EBAY shop will be focused on AUCTION items and some BUY IT NOW options... I think finding my ART pricing there will be a starter action. How does anyone know what their work is worth?!? I have no idea! I think it's a hit-or-miss target.
PAYPAL has an option to list things on social media and other spaces, so that will be a new option to try out. I think that will be great. I assume the fees will be PayPal only, but who knows... I will try to remember to let you know.
BLOGGING is finding its place. This will be my JOURNAL spot, maybe... maybe for spiritual issues, maybe just my walk with GOD and life. I am debating what to do with the PUBLIC posting option at Patreon until I get my Patron spots filled... it may become my first place journal.
All this matters because my income seems to be having problems getting bigger. :-) I have PRAYED about it! A long time. A long, long, long, long time. I don't see any reason it should have these problems for such a long time, so maybe GOD needs to step in. I hope He does -- and soon!
July starts my Christmas season... prepping and giving.
Spreading my Christmas giving over six months has made it a lot easier on my budget. I tend to give to the same groups each year, so some just get their (small) donation from me a bit early. Their computers don't know I only give once a year, so I get barraged with more requests the rest of the year. I'm working on that problem, too. :-)
Filling up my Christmas inventory started the Project Weeks effort. I keep getting sidetracked with all the day-to-day battles and never get to making the things I want to sell for income. I hope my Project Weeks will change that issue.
Keep watching my online spaces. I am working on a LOT of new designs and ideas. It will be great to share them with you later.
In Christ, Deborah Martin
