Quit Your Day Job Nugget of Wisdom


Do you keep your eye on Etsy's blog, The Storque? I'm always finding the best tips in the Quit Your Day Job series. For example:
"I believe that the most critical thing for people making a craft is to realize that you have to have something special people want. Photos, a business plan, and marketing skills are all important, but without that special something, it won't fly. I spend a lot of time on Etsy and working in my studio. When I don't, it shows. And, don't underestimate the power of just showing up and putting in the time to improve what you make. My things have changed and been refined lots over the past year." Quote from Enhabiten's Quit Your Day Job feature.
