I haven't really promoted this much, but I do have several of my favorite photographs I've done for sale on Etsy... I really have not done much marketing, which is strange as that's what I went to school for. After 4 months and no sales, I figured it was going to be a wash being on Etsy. It's a great place to go to find homemade stuff, but it's pretty hard to be a seller on Etsy. It's an over-exuberant amount of people out there trying their hand at selling what they're good at.
Well, tonight I logged on to my email to see an email titled "Etsy Order Confirmation." That's right, ladies and gentleman of the jury, I sold my very first photograph! This makes me stop and think, maybe I could make this successful! Maybe I really could sell copies of the photographs I have so lovingly decorated my house with. Maybe I am not the only one who finds these pieces interesting and beautiful in their own way... we shall have to wait and see.

Which picture did you sell? I love all of them! I just need them in sepia color instead of b&w. If I tell you which one(s), can you do that?
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO! Congrats Sara they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI sold the tree with the yellow leaves. I have it blown up to 20 x 30 size on my wall of my loft. And Alayna, just let me know which ones and sizes you want. :)
