Generally, creative people are a little shy. This makes it hard to promote your creations, much less to sell them. This is why online shops are great. But even though you are online, you still need to put your self out there. Doing local craft shows, talking with people in line at the grocery store, and getting involved in the crafting community, are all important factors in weather your online shop will succeed.

I am one of these shy creative people. I can put on a brave face when I have to, but most of the time, I close myself off from others. I tell myself everyday, “be more open”. I need to be more open to criticism, more open to meeting new people, and more open to customers wanting to buy my product. But doing this is harder that it seems for someone like me.

I found this article online and it gives many great tips on how to stay open. I hope you will find it helpful.

So, keep loads of business cards on hand, make connections, and grow. I know I will.
