How Much Do I Love Artfire?

It seems quite a bit, they ran my 'featured artisan' article. (To read the whole thing, just click on the article.) It surely feels good to be a part of a community that feels like a community and not a bunch of cut throat hooligans. To top it off, the price is definitely right! $7 a month, unlimited listings! Want to join up? Give it a try! I really think that artfire is going places!

So, I know I've mentioned Artfire before, and I've been trying to keep you updated on my little 'branching out' project. It has been a great Friday, because today, I got my FIRST SALE on Artfire!! WOOHOO! I've had presence there for about a week. I've spent a little time listing some more items there tonight, and I'll definitely be giving it a bit of time to see how it does.

Another great tool is Own The Hour. I've been purchasing several slots a day (at .50 each, how can you go wrong?) and it seems to be working. Slots go on sale at midnight for the next day. (For example, at midnight on Friday night, slots go on sale for Sunday.) It's definitely another tool that I will keep utilizing.

Have no fear, I'm not giving up on Etsy, nor do I think I ever will. I've been there 3 years, and I have built up a lovely clientele there, and I do feel a bit of loyalty to Etsy. You know how it goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" :)

So tonight I joined Artfire and listed my first few items. For a long time I've been looking to spread out my eggs instead of keeping them all in one basket. Tonight I took one of the first steps to doing that. For those of you that haven't heard about Artfire, it's only $7 a month, no matter how many items you list. I've just started building up my store, but you should definitely get over there and check it out! It never hurts to view your options. I'm hoping with Artfire, Own The Hour and Etsy, I will broaden my business horizons.
