And I didn't sell one thing. Not one thing! It was kind of depressing. And surprising. And then I felt conceited for feeling surprised that people wouldn't want to buy my stuff. I put so much effort into making sure everything looked good and the best pictures were up, etc. And individual cards got more hits/views/hearts. But no money in my pocket. I've been in kind of a funk since then. I haven't had any real interest in posting to Etsy all the adorable Valentine's mini-cards I've made. And now it's almost February and I'm running out of time for Valentine's day. *sigh* I think tomorrow I'll make myself pull it together and start again. But seriously--these set backs really take a tole on my excitement and energy and enthusiasm for my card business sometimes.
I know exactly how you feel! I kind of went through the same thing around November. Of course, a lot of my "lost interest" was due to outside pressures (job, etc) but I really almost completely gave up on my blog. Then I realized that I missed creating pieces, just for myself, and even though by giving up on it for over a month I lost most of my "readers" that I had made connections with by then, now I am much happier to be "re-inspired" and I am so glad I got back into it again....My point is: Don't give up! Your cards are amazing and if I wasn't unemployed right now, I would totally want to purchase these V-day cards...they are absolutely adorable!!! :)
