Had to Share...

I was interviewed for an article in my local paper the other day. Came out in print today! So excited...it may not be the Wall Street Journal, but I'll take it anyways :)

Couldn't post an online link, so I just scanned the article and posted it on my shop's FB page. You can find it here:

awesome congrats. I don't have face book so I'm denied reading it

Thanks Dawn! I wish I could figure out how to post it without FB...but I don't think I can unless it's a convo. Ugh. It's pretty cool! The reporter interviewed 3 (including me) folks in the area who are using different methods to move their small business forward. I was the "online business", then there was the B&M plus eBay Biz and then just the B&M biz.

Nice article! I like the part about helping new sellers. I can't believe someone gave you a box of onsies...how generous!

Thanks Courtney and Elizabeth! :)

@Elizabeth...I know, right?? It came from my very first post to the BT forums (when I just discovered them...I had no idea they even existed!). I started a thread and asked at what point should we start looking for PT work if our shop isn't taking off. I had 400+ views from that discussion alone. It was amazing. Another shop (who is pretty successful) had sent me a wonderful convo saying "I have this box of baby onsies...would you like them?". I told her that I would love to have them, but I had no money to really offer her. She said "don't worry about it, I want to give them to you". A-mazing.
