Simple Business Advice

[OutdoorEyes]

To The Rocky Mountain High Team Members:

My husband, who was an entrepreneur for his whole life (retired now), just completed an audio podcast series of simple business advice (the website he developed is for our town in Colorado). This advice will pertain to your Etsy business and will give you some helpful ideas.

When I started, I had absolutely no business background or business skills. In a matter of just over 1 year, my GUMPcard business is now really booming. I haven't been able to crack a lot of sales in my Etsy shop yet, but I turned Lemons into Lemonades because I thought out of the box (because of disappointing Etsy sales) and developed a whole new concept in cards as well as went down a different sales and marketing road.

I now have my cards in 100+ retail shops and my website is doing quite well, too. Next, I hope to figure out how to increase my Etsy sales.

Here is the Getting Ahead In Business Podcast link:

Thinking and hoping that the next day will bring success with your business just doesn't work. You have to carefully plan a strategy and do something everyday to bring success.

I hope you have a chance to listen to some of the podcasts and comment on anything that might help you succeed.

I will try to post new and innovative ideas weekly, now that I have a little more free time.

Thanks for joining the team.

Thanks Mel! I love listening to podcasts while I work in my studio, so I will check this out.

Thanks Mel. I need to do something. Sort of flat lined on Etsy.

Ol Bill,
Please read my recent post on the Rocky Mountain High Team and my reply ...and maybe that will help kick start you in a new direction.
