Handmade Results Updates – Where We Are Going
Another quick update, some housekeeping, and some information on where we are going and getting started…
By the way, I’m a little out of breath for this so please don’t be annoyed – I just came home from walking my kids to school. It is blow-y (is that a word?) out there today!
Once again, just click on the triangle to start playing. Remember to turn the sound down a bit first if you’re in an office or you have a little one napping

you may want to write down what you are going to say before making audios. I am very interested in what you have to offer and say, but you said “um” so many times before you got to the point that I almost turned you off.
I am having trouble with the log in process. I have already signed up for the lessons, and am on the mailing list, but when I go through the log in process, it runs me through the sign up for the newsletter, which I already recieve.
Sorry for the confusion, but what do I need to do to get started? How do I go about selecting a log in name and password? I know this should be simple, but it’s just not working for me and I am not sure why this is.
Thanks
The voice messages are great. Can’t wait to hear more. I’m going to order your wire book. Will let you know how I like it. Thanks
Sorry I took so long to reply Vickie – I’m still working on this myself. If you’re on the mailing list, that’s all you need for now. Once I’m sure this website is setup and working the way I want it, I’ll make a little video walking you through it. But til then, you’re good as you are. As always, I’ll let everyone know by email
Hey Sue, yes the uhmms are a nervous habit – still not used to talking to the air yet. To be honest I’m not sure writing anything down will help – and I’m sure not going to script everything! This is supposed to be saving time not making more work! I’ll try to be more cognizant of the uhms though. After I get more used to it they’ll go away I’m sure.
Just letting you know that the log in problem I had is no longer an issue. I received an e-mail confirmation in my spam box that had the log in name and password that I had originally selected……..so, no worries!! Yah whooo!!!
Also………
I am getting rather excited for the lessons………..I think this was the best idea ever!! I have learned so much more since I found your site!! Thank you so much for all the hard work you have put into this, I realize it must be quite the challenge being a mother of two young children……….Great Job!!!!
As for the audio, I think that is a great idea, only one problem, I am one of those visual learners………will there be something for us visual learners too?
Have a super weekend!!
I liked the part where you mentioned that it is not good idea to sell jewelry in Etsy.com. Your opinion was honest, and sincere, and I liked your point of view. The jewelry marketing strategy you give us is unique, and it makes a lot of sense, thanks for sharing.
Hi Vickie,
Glad you like the audio updates.
As for visual learning, yes I’ll be making videos when we get into the meat of it. I’ll be showing you exactly how I do this computer stuff so you can do it too. The audios are just for the updates.
Hi Christine,
I like your audios. it makes it more personal for me and makes me feel like YOU are more accessible to ask questions. I am a brand new seller and have no clue what to do for marketing so this is great!
Thank you so much for all you are doing!
I sell (try to sell) on Etsy. Of course not much happening right now. I was shocked when I read the first newsletter about selling on Etsy. I too have been thinking the very same thing. They pust renewing and listing as advertising. I am just not sure where to go from here if I were to stop trying to sell on Etsy. I have a shop on 1KMarkets and of course not much happening there either. May be I can soon pick up some new avenues. Thanks for all your information.
I know… I think Etsy is great for some things but not for jewelry… I think you’ll love the lessons – I’m racking my brain to figure out how to teach you all this stuff without it getting boring
Hi Christine,
I am a new seller too, and also thankful that I saw your e mail back along about Etsy before I wasted any time there! Up to now I have only sold to a few friends and family.
I inherited some money from an Aunt a while ago and it was the perfect opportunity to turn my more or less full time pastime into a business. I really need to make this work, out of respect for my Aunt, and my Mum, who allowed me to have the money early ( It was her inheritance really, but she shared with me and my brother so we could enjoy it together) so any help and advice to help to make it work is gratefully received!
I bought your book Wire Working Secrets, and also the dvd, which I haven’t watched properly yet because my dvd player on my laptop is on the blink and it kept freezing and I can never get the lounge one to myself for any length of time!
This is really exciting and I’m sure we’re going to get lots out of it. I think you’re doing great and who cares about a few ums! Its a really good idea and thanks for all your time and input. Can’t wait to hear more!
Good luck to all of us, innit!
I really prefer to read so the transcripts are definitely better for me – i can also print them out and make notes on them if i want to.
Thanks for all this,

Interesting and you have helped me to think about heading down a different direction. My partner and I have been getting ready for a Christmas show (our only one for this year) and so we have been building up our inventory. However, after reading (yes, I too, am a reader) my partner and I have a passion for (dare I say it?) .gasp! PURPLE. She’s a dark and bright purple lover, I’m a lilac purple person and all our pieces have a signature amethyst on them. So Now I’m thinking, maybe we should just concentrate on what we love and only make a few non-purple pieces and go for the “purple people eaters”. It’s food for thought at any rate. Also, thanks for the bit about Etsy. We were thinking of it, dragging our feet really and I think that definately for now, we’re going to stay well away from it. Thanks again. Look forward to hearing from you again. Kathleen Petrides, Beadhussy.com
Hi Lisa,
I don’t think you’ve registered yet (the mailing list is not connected properly yet, so you still need to register manually). Just go through the registration process and you should be set.

I am learning so much from you already! Conducting market research is a must. I have to admit that the items that I find that sell where I am are not to my taste, but as you said, there’s no reason to compete when you do not have to!
Aww im so excited, cant wait to get started, so fed up of the hours dragging by in the office, dont get me wrong, Im grateful for a job in the current climate, but jewellery is what i love and in my current job i just exist…..
Kathleen -the Purple lady lol, great minds think alike, after reading I was thinking about what I like and Im into my crystals and healing properties, then thought about colours and basically narrowed it down to Rose Quartz, the benefits of it, what group of people could benefit from it and the colour pink etc!!!
Christine – your website has inspired me so much, thank you…..:)
Hi Christine
I like the audios, then having to go thru pages of text! I am a sponge right now and I use to have a shop over on Esty, and I agree with you Esty is not the best place for jewelry artisans . . . way too many choices and one yes, can get lost in the ocean of things. Can’t wait for more!! keep it coming
Much Success to All

I’m glad I found your website. I left my job to stay home with my disabled husband and brother. I have not been making jewelry very long, but really enjoy it. I really miss having an income and am interested in selling online. I downloaded your special report, “How To Get Results….” I like to read information and also watch video clips. I have some computer knowledge, but need plenty more. I look forward to getting the information I need to be successful. Thanks for your help. Marcia
