The Most Important Part of Your Creative Business
Make Time Square Tile Magnet by: 26MileStones Have you guessed it already? The most important part of your business is YOU! Are you taking care of yourself properly? As I type this, I have to pause every few minutes and squeeze my left shoulder to try to bring some relief to what I think is a pinched nerve, caused by all of the sitting and typing and browsing and sewing I’ve been doing.

Writing Expert Product Descriptions for Your Etsy Shop
Fabric Fiber Brooch Pin Hand Embroidered Queen Annes Lace Textile by: waterrose Writing Expert Product Descriptions for Your Etsy Shop Great product descriptions are pivotal to engaging customers and helping them to understand what is so special about your product and why they need to purchase it. I have seen many product descriptions on Etsy that are either much too brief, leaving lots of unanswered questions or are very lengthy with unorganized information. It takes practice to master the creation of a strong description. Give enough information for the reader so they are able to make an educated decision. A good general formula: 1. 2. 1-2 intro sentences 3. 4. Below are 2 good product descriptions.

Jewelry photography tips - how to take pictures of jewelry
Taking good quality pictures of jewelry for most is an unsolved mystery. However, there are some simple techniques used by the professional, which even amateur photographers can use to obtain dramatic results with minimal effort. The following examples show the basic setup that should allow anyone to achieve results they can be proud of. These images were all taken using a Canon Digital Rebel camera with a 100MM lens. The basic setup we used included an EZcube light tent to soften the shadows and eliminate glare, while providing a clean and clutter free background. The keys to good jewelry photography are sharpness, lighting, exposure, and in the case of gemstone photography, creating some sparkle. Another key to a sharp image is a tripod. Another key to good jewelry photography is the lighting. We prefer daylight balanced compact fluorescent bulbs for lighting. Proper exposure is also key to good jewelry photography.

Selling Artwork, Crafts, and Supplies on Zibbet
Since Zibbet is growing rapidly and is still in its early stages of ramping up as a great new place to sell art online, early birds like you and me get to benefit enormously. Right now, a premium monthly membership on Zibbet is $7. You can go back to a free membership any time if you decide a premium membership isn't worth it. (but for the price of a sandwich for 30 days of full customization, social media integration and more, it's probably worth it, don'tcha think?) There are less than 350 premium Zibbet memberships available at that price, with new memberships getting snatched up each day. After that, the price jumps to $15 a month, but anyone getting in earlier gets the $7 rate forever, no matter what. Here's a cute shop by premium subscriber stacyjean (notice the colors - you can customize all sorts of things with premium memberships!) Let's learn about what features you get in a Zibbet premium membership that you don't get with the free version Still need convincing? 5 x $0.20 = $1
