Hi, I have been out of the mainsteam of selling since the beginning of 2005. I had been selling online at Justbeads.com
I have just got back into my studio to begin creating and I noticed that Justbeads.com is practicley a ghost town. I have been trying to figure out where everyone has gone to. I have been thinking about Etsy, so when reading reading your blog I was happy to find that it sounds like alot of others have turned to Etsy. I am also intrigued by “Dewanda”
Its hard to get started again, exspecially when you get out of touch like I have. Your blog has been helpful and I have also enjoyed it.

It’s funny – I hear a lot about the economic downturn but I think it has made people pickier more than anything. The bulk of my clients are in the US and my sales have only increased in the last year.

But I am a numbers person, and its free to try… so venues galore, here I come!

I am very curious too Elaine… I agree a little diversification can only be good. Just because the economy is down in the States doesn’t mean its down in Europe and vice versa. Also I could see different products working better in different areas. I’d love to hear how it works out for you!

Will do!

I don’t know if it’ll be more successful than Etsy has been for me but a little diversification is good. And it wasn’t too bad setting up and listing.
