My Fifteenth and Sixteenth Weeks As A Lifestyle Blogger

This second half of October I have been working on my Work Necklaces items (and ignoring my Paperly People entirely). Because I want to have sales of my necklaces over the Christmas season, it was imperative to focus exclusively on doing work for these products.

November and early December are going to be for selling necklaces and then it will switch over and I will be selling my planners! Doing marketing for these two items means that I need to make sure to promote them at the right time.

Week 15

Week Sixteen

Okay, this week was the last of my big “list my work necklaces” push. I figured that I needed to have a good number of work necklaces available on my Etsy store by November 1st so I can start concentrating on selling them and worrying less about producing them!

  • Listed Firefighting necklace https://www.etsy.com/listing/253247678/firefighter-necklace-gifts-for?ref=shop_home_active_1
  • Made a custom necklace for a friend to give as a gift and she loves it! That makes me happy!
