That Hobby Looks Like a Lot of Work
Interesting article on the successes and pit-falls of turning your hobby into a business. The focus is on women who have quit their day jobs and used etsy to sell their art. This is something I have been considering for some time, I set up a new etsy account which you can see is completely bare and spoke to a number or artists/craftists who sell their wares by combining multiple online shopfronts and markets around the state. I think the best advice I received was to just put something out there, and then keep going.
For me, 2010 is the time to see what I can do :)









Oh… Mum says to tell you to remind her when your etsy shop is opened for business.
