There is something deeply satisfying about it though. Especially as the hard work begins to pay off and you become a recognized and respected expert in your niche. It is certainly a test of endurance, creativity and bravery that gets you there. Not something for everyone, that's for sure!Cindy Lietz, Polymer Clay Tutorhttp://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/wire-wrapped-polymer-clay-jewelry-pendant-gift/7366/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317622627012365926.post-50412021583390253672009-12-24T05:19:35.724-08:002009-12-24T05:19:35.724-08:00Merry Christmas :)Merry Christmas :)Swapnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642076769965367922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317622627012365926.post-61154275771247987642009-12-23T19:16:14.355-08:002009-12-23T19:16:14.355-08:00Man,... that lady has gotta have blisters on her f...Man,... that lady has gotta have blisters on her fingers! I know some people are successful at making a living from their hobbies, but I think most do not make enough to survive solely on the income earned from a hobby. I am not happy with my Etsy shop lately either. The majority of my sales come from shows, and personal contacts, not online. I too am thinking of changes...not sure what yet, but if you have any ideas, I would love to hear them! Have a very Merry Christmas!!Hot Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234231780727904955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317622627012365926.post-39005470297246791732009-12-23T14:44:00.370-08:002009-12-23T14:44:00.370-08:00I want to wish you a Merry Christmas..now I am off...I want to wish you a Merry Christmas..now I am off to read those articles you linked to! :)<br /><br />Thanks!Kristin https://www.blogger.com/profile/05047440236618093570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317622627012365926.post-3735160396230726672009-12-23T09:51:38.712-08:002009-12-23T09:51:38.712-08:00Merry Christmas.

My hands wouldn't hold out past day 3, I'm sure. Even if I could do it at my favorite coffee shop, I would need a third hand to even be able to drink the coffee! I would love to make a living from doing what I love, but it would be terrible to have that love for the activity turn to disdain.Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442173565906462153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317622627012365926.post-84496348200297189072009-12-22T20:31:44.118-08:002009-12-22T20:31:44.118-08:00I don't want to do ANYTHING for 13 hours a day...I don't want to do ANYTHING for 13 hours a day.

I would question the money that example is listing as it's more than $400 per day, 24/7/365 and that's pretty unrealistic...and if it's $400 wholesale, what can anyone make in 13 hrs that retails at $800? Hmmmm...But I love your observation basically about finding your niche and your audience...and IMHO, THAT is the meat of the nut!!

I can't imagine knitting any project more than twice before I wouldn't want to do it anymore. Imagine 13 hours a day making the same stuff over and over again! I don't care if you are getting paid $250,000, that would stink.
