Tention Free: Can you please let us know a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, your passion etc. ??
“I had a dream, to open an independent business and sell my creations. I wanted to get great feedback, and mainly to be my own boss. I work for a very sweet company and I enjoy every moment. In addition to my business, I’m also a mom and a wife.”
“I decided to learn jewelry making as a hobby. While I was taking classes, I met independent Etsy shop owners who were selling jewelry abroad, and that’s where the magic began. For those who aren’t familiar with the site, it specializes in selling handmade goods of artisans, vintage goods, and creative materials, as opposed to the site that everyone orders from – eBay. It didn’t take long to decide that I, too, could open a shop! I imagined everything I’d have to do: take pictures, upload items, translate it all in Google and presto! Advertise and wait for the money to start flowing in…”
I don’t know if I’d describe myself as a success story – I’m just somebody who didn’t give up, who smashed down a wall with the Congo … I love the work I do, and I really enjoy the great feedback I get. I feel wonderful when I meet the same customers again and again. And my husband doesn’t complain anymore about the fact that I’m ‘wasting’ my time. Also, I decided that I should help other shop owners to promote their items. Because they don’t have time, they usually prefer just to create and not everybody has the time, the know-how, or the connection to computerized systems in order to promote their shop. Some people try to go it alone, and some prefer to transfer the ‘dirty work’ of promoting and marketing to someone else. I raised my wand and today I promote some of the top stores (mostly abroad) on sites like Etsy, eBay, Amazon, and private sites (for English speakers) on social networks at reasonable prices for every single person.
Tention Free: Tell our readers about your new shop?
As one who knows the Etsy world so well and promotes many stores around the world, I decided to open another store! I have one vintage store (thevintagecinderella), but I wanted so much to make art myself so I decided to open a store with a brand that I love and enjoy making handmade pieces from. All the products in the store are recycled, and I love collecting garbage and producing new stuff from it! Because the world needs to be maintained
