I hope everything went well for your friend’s surgery.
I’ve been meaning to put some things on Etsy myself. I have my shop all set up and ready to go but haven’t managed to finish making anything to put in it yet ^__^;;; That was actually my only new years resolution to myself this year, to do more art, and finally get back to selling it.
Aside from just online you should take your cards around to coffee shops and see if the owners would be willing to display them. A lot of the places around Annapolis carry cards made by local artists. You’d make a little less money than through Etsy, because the shop will take a percentage, but you’ll also manage to sell to people who weren’t actually looking to buy cards, but things just catch their eye while they’re waiting for their coffee. If you’d like to visit us sometime soon I’ll take you to some of the shops that might be good candidates. I find that people are a little more likely to buy things when they see them in person than through a picture online. (I’m not discouraging Etsy, you should do that too, just saying you should cover lots of bases!!)
