The Road to Etsy

I make and sell jewelry. I make rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets and talismans in bronze, silver and gold. I sell the jewelry both on (http://www.loismartens.com) and off line. Seeing as how I make considerably more jewelry than I sell, I am constantly looking for new venues.

Etsy is the big one. Over the past five years I have gone to the Etsy site and printed out the many pages of information for sellers only to trash them a few days later. Why? Probably because I felt that my production did not fit in for design or prices with the jewelry that is offered in many of the shops.

I think that it is time for me to stop being a snob and verify if my jewelry is marketable in a popular venue.

This blog will be my journal recording my progress in becoming a seller on Etsy.
