Looks good. That is one of the next projects on my to do list. I am dreading it because I know it is going to be an all day event! Ugh! Locknload1 how do you do the google search, to make it come up 1-4?

Locknload1 how do you do the google search, to make it come up 1-4? I had a guy set it all up for me. He eats, sleeps and breathes Internet marketing and also works for a company that pumps literally millions into it so he has the benefit of their R&D. I know there's tons of resources that claim to do it but I got targeted results in one day and I'm finding I can drive it from the #4 spot to the #1 spot within a few minutes myself with just a few clicks. In the last 24 hours I've received a half dozen calls and four emails. And, since I started I'm getting some contacts from people that said they Googled and called me because they remembered I left a card but couldn't find it. If any one is interested I can post his contact information, I was pretty excited about my results so I already seeded the idea of some sort of discount for the forum when we last spoke.
re: Etsy. We did well over the holidays, but it has tapered off completely. I know things in "retail" is tough in Jan, so I'll just grin and bear it until we get into a few weeks in Feb. But we're still experimenting there to figure out what sells.I'd personally like to get away from etsy completely, but I don't think it's possible.. we don't have any traffic going to our website to make direct sales.. I'm actually in the process of cutting out our shopping cart for the time being. It just doesn't bring the income for what we pay a month for it. I'll stick to etsy and create a pseudo shopping cart system on the website and grow from there.

I see way too many in this industry (as well as photography and webdesign) that use images, videos, etc of others works and attempt to pass them off as something they did. I worked with one client who wanted to use some images for their own site and when asked where they got them they said "oh, Google image search, everything is free on there." HUGE lack of understanding of the term "free" there.
