Oh my gosh…this may have been the most pivotal week yet in my journey towards being a lifestyle blogger, non-service based person.
Just so you know, I have been trying to figure out how to print out copies of my handy-dandy forms. Or the workbook. Or even just a notebook with a cool cover. I REALLY wanted a physical product to sell but the numbers never worked. Either there weren't enough margins to make it make sense or there were enough margins but making the item took TIME that was not going to be repaid with sales.
But then, I went to a regional craft event and found, wah wah, the way to do this without breaking the bank or using up time I don't have! I found the components to make WorkNecklaces and have been loading up products ever since!
It is a little different now that I am selling a little higher priced physical items than my forms on Paperly People.
The neat thing is now I can totally talk about both sides of the aisle, digital products and physical products!

Day 92 10/7/2015
- I ordered extra supplies for my worknecklaces store…I sort of wanted to wait and make sure they were going to sell, but it was a catch 22. If I waited I could be popular and then miss out on sales. The bonus was that I got a good enough price that I could sell the pieces on Etsy for a little more than what I paid if it was a complete dud.
- Got a GREAT review of the Etsy SEO Product!!! I went from #96 to #4 for iPhone 6 Monogram (which is not easy). I'm so grateful you have this little golden tool!!!! I've literally spent hours looking for something like it lol! Thanks again!!
