if what you are making isn't selling then try something different - and if it sells then make more of them!

Networking. A large portion of my business comes from people that have found out about me through various networks. Family, friends, Facebook, coworkers, neighbors...you name it. Let your network work for you.

As a relative newbie, I have found the forums VERY helpful. The more time I spend in the forums reading and talking, the more I learn and the more my network grows. I try to read and respond to threads in the Business section, but I also spend my fair share of time trying to give out critiques as I found them really helpful when I first started. Without the forums, I wouldn't know about the treasury, treasury clock!, craftomania tool bar (just found it today!), twitter, naming photos, google analytics, and the list goes on.

The short of this long post is THE FORUMS. Read, respond, and post. You will learn from there!

"I am always doing things I can't do and that's how I get to do them." Pablo Picasso. A magnet on my office/studio inspiration board...to that end I'd say, believe in yourself, and keep on pluggin'!
