Today is a great day. Ashleybug Designs made its 100th sale today! Well, on Etsy anyway. I've actually made a few more sales than that, but they were offline.
As this week is my last week at my office job, I will be able to craft fulltime. Reaching the 100 sales mark really gives me the confidence to go for it. Granted, I am still in classes right now (I graduate with my B. Sc. at the end of June) and I will have my first baby in October, not having an office job really opens up my time to do what I truly love.
I am hoping that these sales will snowball into something much bigger in the future. Once we move out to Chicago I really plan to branch out into other venues and not just rely on Etsy. It seems that this is the way most fulltime crafters succeed.
If anyone out there is a fulltime crafter or knows someone who is, I would love to hear your/their story about how it was done!

Hey there congrats on your 100 sales!
ReplyDeleteI happened to stumble across your etsy store and I thought your stationary is lovely.
Your dream of crafting full-time is something I am wishing to do as well.
I'm sure everything will work out for you =)
