4. Some months are better than others

I generally set aside a weekend and work furiously on a project, and some months, I'm too busy to create anything.

There's also trial and error, especially with the chrysalis earrings. Those took months, and failures.

You also want good photos of your work.

I make about $40- $60 a month, and some months twice that, others, nothing.

Is you work easily shipped? That's another issue. If the shipping is a substantial portion of the price of the piece, that could slow sales.

In any case, it costs very little to set up a store - .20 per listing.
