What is that you see on the side there? Could that be items for sale?! I do believe that they are!
I finally figured out what was keeping me distracted and off-track. I kept fearing failure. I couldn't fail if I didn't try. Then I remembered something important. The last time I tried to sell items, there would be months and months where I would list things, but I wouldn't sell any of them. There is no way I could do worse than that.
So even though I had put aside days in past weeks to list thing, I did not. I even tried to set aside days just to work on descriptions. That also didn't happen.
I was having the problem of not knowing what I wanted to do today, so I decided to push myself to get this going. The listing interface has changed a lot since I used it last. I like this new one more. I also like that you can copy a listing. Before you had to have one listing open in edit mode while you made the other that was similar.
I also did not list many things at once because of something I read a while ago. One of the successful Etsy users posted some tips and tricks. I wish I remember who it was, but it was probably over half a year ago that I read it. They said that instead of uploading a lot of things at once and letting them sit, to upload a few things at a time. This way it is more likely that someone will notice something your listed in the "Recently Listed Items" area and take a look when they might not have searched for that type of item. Listing a few items at a time also gives more time for me to make things so there won't be long times where I don't list anything at all.
