Lecture 12

Only a few more lectures left for this semester!!! This week it was Melinda Stefy who came to talk to Tyler about using Etsy and other online stores to promote or sell our work.  Her personal artwork had a lot to do with remnant pieces, memory, and loss.  Then she started to talk to us about her online vending stores.  She talked about the vending she does.  She does her vending online through etsy, consignment, and in person.  Her etsy store is fabrik.etsy.com where she sells things like reusable bags.  Her other etsy store is julre.etsy.com which sells her handmade jewelry.  She told us how to get started on etsy and how to become successful with online vending.  She made it clear that online vending is very time consuming.  If we aren't committed to uploading new stuff, or constantly keeping tabs on the site, then it will not be successful.  you have to be very active with your site and it takes tons of time and commitment.
