I do not know how to sell myself or my product other than in an art fair scenario.
I have attempted the Etsy thing and I have realized I am going to have to connect all my different facets of internet to be more successful. Facebook, Pinterest, Etsy and my Blog need to get together and be friends. I realize this will take much more effort from me and a bit more work to keep it all up, but perhaps, just perhaps I can start to sell myself enough to quit my day job......
Oh did I mention what my day job now is? Yes I am working at an after-school daycare, a job I did not need an undergraduate degree to get. I am not complaining or anything, but it does seem that more and more of my very educated wonderful friends are working one to three part time jobs to cover bills/live. I mean at least they have jobs, but it seems silly we wasted all that time in college to work entry level jobs.
Anyway the job is challenging, I love kids, but I sometimes wish I didn't know what they were saying- like it was in Korea. Kids are MEAN. I forgot about that. I also forgot how ridiculous their fights are, I mean, I knew in Korea they fought over stupid things, but here I understand just how stupid.
When is it that we learn to use a little logic? When do we learn to stop hitting or calling each other mean names? Or do we not learn? Some people just hit in a different way, or behind the back so as not to get in trouble. Are we taught to be good in school or just to hide the evil in our hearts?
Woah it just got spiritual. I guess working with kids you can easily see the absence of peace, or the presence of a darkness very easily. I know children are children and are still learning and very much a reflection of the environment they are raised in; in need of grace, but somewhere along the line we are faced with the question of will you serve Him or not. Will you reject your selfish human nature and cling to something outside you, or continue in 'your' path.
