I Came, I Saw, I Sucked


So, I think I am going to close my Artfire shop. I am sure one day they may be fantastical and I'll wish I had stayed locked in at the $7 a month, but for now I just don't have the time to promote two shops. I have been on Artfire since November and made one sale, and I have made around 15 on Etsy in that same time. If I was doing this full time, it would definitely bemore of a viable option, but I am looking to simplify. I also was approved on 1000 Markets, and since its free to list, I'll probably fill that shop up.

Tough choice. I'm still waiting on artfire to pick up here too. Good luck with 1000 markets!

I hear ya. I listed a few items on artfire a while back with no sales. I'm been majorly neglecting it, so I may list a few more to see how it goes, but if there's nothing, I'll probably close down too. I don't have time for 2 shops either!

I have been considering opening up an artfire shop as well, but I agree that it would be a challenge maintaining both!

Great items you have!

I agree it is hard to promote two shops..by the time I finish one Etsy listing i just can't manage to Artfire too..I will artfire had a function that you could just upload your etsy shop.

Good Luck with 1000 markets...I bet promoting more than one shop is tough, but you are doing so great on Etsy, so that is wonderful!!
