What are some of your current goals/dreams?
Hey girly,
I’m so pleased I’m getting to know you through blogging. What a doll you are! I really liked this list. A lot. I especially liked the purple tights one. Now you are talking! I set up an Etsy shop and had 500 views to my shop and no sales. It made me a bit sad. I came up with this idea and I think you would like it. Instead of opening an etsy shop, you could take pix of what you have for sale, and intermittently add them to your right side bar as an image, and link them to a paypal buy button, less clicks. It’s what I’m going to do {or} I could add it to my list I haven’t made yet. ha ha ha.
Happy blogging!
Julie
Thanks for sharing about your art and Etsy experience, Julie! It takes a lot of bravery to put what we create out into the world, doesn’t it? Your artwork is beautiful, and I think you should definitely pursue a Pay Pay button. :) I might have to explore that, as well! I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend!
i sooooooo love this….
i am planning to start blogging. You really inspired me. i haven’t read all your entry but would love to do it… if you don’t mind asking are you a Born-Again Christian?
Hi, Varna, thanks so much for visiting! I’m happy you’ve found some inspiration at A Place to Dwell. :)
My faith in Christ is a central part of my life, and it’s an area I’m always learning and growing in.
Thanks again for reading!
