This is part 1 of our series: 31 DAYS of Setting Up Shop! You can find the entire list of days, in order on our Setting Up Shop Index Page. I'll add each new entry to this list as it is published.
Welcome, friends!
This month I have decided to blog for 31 days about one of my favorite subjects:
Whether you have been considering opening an etsy shop, setting up a booth at a fair, or opening a real physical store, this series should be fun for you!
Or maybe you've always wondered what goes on behind the scenes...
Where do you start?
How do you decide what to sell?
Where do you advertise?
Where do you stash all your product while it's for sale? (This is a tricky one!)
How do you organize everything and balance it with family life? (This one is even trickier!)
We are going to cover all of this and so much more. I hope you'll come along with me as we delve into all of this.
So {why} did I chose this subject?
Well, I'm so glad you asked! On top of the fact that I LOVE making, selling, designing, brainstorming, packaging, customer service, and all of the details that go into Setting Up Shop, there is another reason.
I am Setting Up Shop for real. Not another etsy shop, not another flea market booth, but a real, come-and-visit-me-in-person-and-buy-some-cool-stuff-I-made brick and mortar shop here in the area where I live. I can't tell you much more at this very moment, but I will be able to very soon.
Which brings me to my next point: You don't want to miss any of the fun, excitement, announcements, or giveaways that are happening in this 31 DAYS of Setting Up Shop series. So I'm going to make it easy for you to follow along.
