This is a little background about my Etsy store. I started trying to sell things on Etsy on September 8, 2011. By the end of 2011, I made one sell. A little disappointing but I kept at it. So far this year in 2012 I've had 8 sells, which is better then last year. In 2013, I'm hoping to continue to market myself and spread the word of what I do. I hope to sell more ready made stuff than custom orders. (I do custom orders which have contributed to about 75% or so of my orders from my facebook page.)
Getting a business started isn't easy but having a husband whose supportive is a great bonus. He has come with me to vender/craft fairs and he makes helpful suggestions and he supports me in just about every way a husband can. Having him be in the military has helped too. We aren't rolling in dough or anything but it has allowed me to focus my time on spreading the word as far as I can.
I hope to gather as many followers on my Facebook page (
http://www.facebook.com/#!/KalisKreations), my Twitter (@kalijames13), my Instagram (kaliskreations), my etsy (

http://kaliskreations.storenvy.com/) and now this blog, as possible before my baby comes in May so I can take a few weeks off away from the computer and the crochet hook without people forgetting about me! When I'm not using my hands to make something, I'm online trying to gather followers and share my photos.
