I only just recently moved to Ireland, and I was completely at a loss. Now I feel like I have options besides Etsy, which didn't work for me in the States, so I had little hope I would sell my items at the necessary price points here! I'm so glad I found this resource!

I did have a shop at Etsy for a little while. I found myself lowering my prices just to compete. I then decided I wasn't going to lower prices anymore. I deserve to make money and not give my stuff away. I have my own site now and very happy about it. Etsy works for some people just not for me. Stacy, thanks for the info!

I get very little business from "cold calls" I find I am most successful selling my product at open houses and wholesale at a boutique. I'm at a crossroad for my business. January is when I will make some tough decisions on how to move forward. Thanks for all the great information! Most of my Etsy sales are from people I know or from a referral.

I registered. I'm curious if its worth putting work into many places to make it accessible, or is it not worth all the work? Linda, I'm in the same boat as you I guess! I still have to figure out what to sell. I guess - it seems anyway- having a range of products with low to high prices is good. Even painters seem to offer prints. I guess you have that with your jewelry too.. hmm.. I can't wait to find out more, I suppose it will come with practice! Thanks Stacy for that link! I registered.

I'm going to check it out. I'm a newbie to Etsy and I feel kind of lost. My jewelry is kind of up scale and I hope I can compete. Like you, I can't really drop the prices without losing quality. I need to find my niche. I'm also older and I don't feel comfortable on the social networking sites like Myspace, etc. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I TOTALLY agree with you on the presentation of some of the sites. Very important to sellers and buyers especially. There is also http://www.myehive.com that I haven't had a chance to post about yet. It looks lovely but it's just for UK & Ireland sellers, you should def check it out. Cheers! Nice post, thanks for looking in more detail.
