Some good reading ... sharing some feedback from Dawanda.

If you understand German and French, you'll appreciate it more. If not, you can always get by with a free translation online: http://translation2.paralink.com/. Just be warned that these translations are, most of the time, funny but it's easy to make sense out of it. So have a good laugh!

Whirlwind Networking

According to the so-called experts, if you want to be seen and heard, social networking is the way to go. But does it really work?

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to check out Twitter. The first few days of joining was, I should say, quite boring. Slowly I was gaining friends and beginning to get the idea. My daily dose of tweets led me to links after links of sites and information. I surf the net like I've never surf before! I visited and checked out all handmade sites I can get my mouse to clicked on, joined networks and gained friends along the way.

From indie sites to ning networks, I just went on and on, it was so time consuming and almost like a full time job. Pages and pages of news, advise, hints, tips, how tos ... it was a whirlwind networking!

Was this exercise all worth it? It remains to be seen.
In the meantime, I'm back to making hip bags, the reason why I was networking in the first place.

Kikay's Firsts ...

Looking back, my first Etsy sale was on 13 July 2007. It was this chocolate brown coloured 'Swing Bag'. I was so excited then.



On the other side of the world, after joining Dawanda in March 2008, I sold my first bag on 27 April 2008. This time it was the 'Maria Tote with Supersized Ribbon'. I had a lot of compliments on this bag.



Early this year, I decided to have some fun and listed my first bag on eBay. This ultra spacious 'Uni Tote' was sold to the winning bidder at a price beyond my expectation.


So there, those were my first sales and I'm so looking forward to making more hip bags in 2009!
