Why I decided to Launch an Etsy Store

 

The reason is simply because I felt that I want to let other people enjoy my calligraphy work. Therefore I felt let me just give it a try with my work and see how it will go. Also with pricing I felt the pricing of the work matched the quality. In all honesty I wanted to let others enjoy my work as much as I did making it.

The first concept of posters is selling a 8.5 x 11 on french duro-tone butcher extra white 80# paper. The price of the posters are $15 dollars with 5 dollar shipping worldwide to anywhere.

And one more thing is as a freebie I give away a free wallpaper for your cellphone. I am still adding more posters daily so go check out my Etsy shop and pick up some work for yourself.

Believe that you can do it

 

As humans no matter what profession we tend to lack belief and many other things. When I first had the idea of launching an Etsy store I got scared. By me having the feelings of oh my goodness what if I do not sell anything. Then I said to myself at least I tried. Because I would rather try then just sit and wonder. In other words saying what if I tried?

This should be the mentality that you have in life. Not just going to work and doing the best job you can to maintain your position. When your on break thinking about what you could be doing or what you really want to be doing instead of this job that just pays the bills make a plan.

But before even thinking of making a plan you have to believe. Because at times you’ll feel like giving up and when you feel pain you have to embrace it. The reason is that pain does not last forever. Pain is just a part of the process. Also you cannot be ignorant and not educate yourself. If you are not reading and learning daily this is the time to start. You may be reading this on your phone, email account or wherever you may be you start today.

Start learning today about the profession you want to go into. Then after you start learning remember the harder you work the luckier you will get. A very simple way to put it is you get out of it what you put in it. If you are working hard then you will get results that you could only dream of before.

The official launch date for my Etsy store is March 25th so make sure to stay tuned for that.
