Hmmmm......

Things have dropped off here. I keep posting in the Etsy forum for anyone that wants to do an interview, but.................I'm not getting any response at all. Everyone has at least one blog, and maybe not enough time on their hands. The internet is like that. Takes up a lot more time and energy then people think. It's a lot more difficult to get noticed then would be assumed, and...it's not all simple & straightforward.

I thought that EtsyCafe was a pretty good idea, but not 'catchy' enough it would seem. I thought the concept was simple, and I tried to make it as easy as possible. I think folks tend to lean towards the cute, minimalist blogs that are small, personal collectives of 'favorites'...and above that...they're looking for something super popular. This blog is neither. It occupies some 'other' space that maybe people don't easily get the point of. Some do. Some realize that any promotion is helpful.

So, anyway...what to do? Just let it sit here?!? After all the time I've invested, and all the great people that have submitted interviews...just let it lay? I don't feel comfortable doing that. I guess I'll have to start (personally) requesting interviews from sellers; convo them and ask them if they have time. Move into that 'favorite' mode, which I kinda wanted to avoid. Etsy can only "feature" one artist at a time, and I'm pretty sure they have 'criteria'. I wanted to avoid any sort of favoritism...and just have open to everyone...to feature themselves.

But...this place needs a push. Suppose I could also start posting actual articles as well. Between interviews. I don't know what people want as far as a blog goes? I have my other Schroeder Sister Blog that I ramble in, that's for my own personal work and promotion. Should I merge the two? Arg...maybe I should let the coffee kick in first.
