I just opened my artfire shop.
Artfire is very similar to Etsy, so my shops will have the same creations.
I believe having a shop with may different sites will expand my exposure to different groups of people.
I am looking forward to finding more great handmade website shops to open and for you to find one that fits you best!
One thing I LOVE about Artfire is the kiosk they have for facebook. With adding this kiosk to my fan page you will be able to purchase my creations on Artfire via facebook. It is a wonderful idea and I am excited to see how it will work out.

so, my first PIF item sold in record breaking time. within hours, after i listed it, it was gone.
i am going to put up another mini 2010 calender for pif, coming up here in the next few weeks.
look out for it, because it might go just as fast.
thanks for all of the support.

i was not really sure what it was all about or if it would even benefit me. after some thinking and research, i decided that it would be a great way to get one of my creations into the hands of my adoring fans. 
i also wanted to be able to get some positive feedback to make people more trusting to purchase from me.
my success is all about exposure, getting my name out there and taking risks.
i really enjoy creating things, it helps me relax and take my mind off of other stresses in my life and i hope it does the same for you.
i am very excited to see how it works out. i’ll let you know!

i finally got my etsy shop up and running!
here is the link —-> www.josstudio.etsy.com
it took me some hard work and long hours but it happened.
i have only added about half of what i have created, so if you don’t see what you want just bear with me it will be there soon.
i am planning on updating it almost everyday with new things.
getting some advertising is my next step, just need to save up a little and create a fantastic ad!
your comments are always welcome and greatly appreciated.
on another note… i have 50 fans after one week on facebook. which is great but i need more to get a easy to remember URL.
please check out my fan page and let your family, friends and co-workers know! thanks.
