Sometimes it's good to sit down make goals and go for it again! I to have two tubs full of finished items that didn't sell before but I've not tried to re-sell or re-list on other platforms! It's go to go or just donate it. With the changes in facebook I just say keep on posting. Someone sees it and it may not be everyone but in the end it's still worth it. What's great about the internet is there is always other platforms to try so just keep trying! Change isn't always easy but sometimes it's good. I've learned that a lot in my personal life the past few months and now need to apply that to my business! *hugs* Elisabeth Spiveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986112160868132930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298251344886236979.post-3945390926946682122013-07-05T14:17:38.064-04:002013-07-05T14:17:38.064-04:00Susan - I will definitely post my items on my blog...Susan - I will definitely post my items on my blog. Posting ready-to-ship items on Facebook has never worked for me.<br /><br />On the other hand, Facebook has been a great platform to show what I have made and it has led to many customers requesting specific items after seeing other things I have made.niccupphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13322523455532059814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298251344886236979.post-9738945435307137012013-07-05T14:15:15.812-04:002013-07-05T14:15:15.812-04:00I think I can agree with you on taking on too much...I think I can agree with you on taking on too much at once. I work full-time, have a family and my husband is a full-time pastor. And, I've chosen to run a crochet business, too? I must be crazy. ;)<br /><br />I think this wake-up call or desire to refocus had to come sooner or later. I am going to jump back in with both feet and try to focus on the things that make me successful as a business and do more than just have lots of friends who love my work.<br /><br />I am so happy for your new venture! Having a dream come true is definitely motivation to keep doing what you do. <3niccupphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13322523455532059814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298251344886236979.post-16950924941763671692013-07-05T14:11:21.339-04:002013-07-05T14:11:21.339-04:00I have fallen prey to all of these pitfalls myself...I have fallen prey to all of these pitfalls myself. I have just gotten back into my business with gusto . Having an exciting new venture has helped me tremendously but it has also be a drive from within to relaunch my business with a bang. <br /><br />My biggest pitfall is one you don't have listed here. I take on TOO much. I have a million things going on, besides the ones that my fellow hookers and/or fans even know about.<br /><br />I haven't posted a single item on my Etsy page in MONTHS. I also haven't made any items for the local boutiques I typically sell through. I've been doing a little of this and a little of that and not been focusing on one or two key things. I am in the process of changing that now! <br /><br />I am narrowing down my focus to a couple things and I am going to work hard at doing my best at those things. I will eventually get to the other stuff... who am I kidding... I'll probably still be all over the place but I am going to try to get the must do's done first.

It isn't costing you anything and anyone that does want to buy them has made the effort. If they've made the effort then they are worth selling to. Just an idea.
