Struggling

I am struggling today to believe that I can succeed in marking out a place for myself, selling my greetings cards. Don't get me wrong, I am not going to give up, anyone who knows me would tell you I am a fighter and very contrary, say I can't do something and I will prove you wrong! That's good isn't it?

My problem at the moment is, I want it all to happen quickly like yesterday or at least some feedback/criticism would be nice so I  know I am onto something or a little encouragement would be even better.

I was so enthusiastic at the beginning of the week, having been on my marketing course, I then set up this Blog, my websites where done a few weeks ago,  I still have to do my facebook page which I hope to do this weekend.

My products have been listed on Folksy and I am like an idiot checking them several times a day to see if any of them have sold. I am getting people to look at them but as yet no sales.

I have asked for feedback but not received any, then this morning I read an article about niche products for niche markets . This sounded great, as I believe I do have a niche product, but what it didn' say was how long to expect your first sale, or how to make people know it was different from the rest.

I think I need some sort of strategy or plan to keep me focused as there are so many things whirling around inside my head, I think about one and off I go like a train full steam ahead into that thought, and forget what I was supposed to be concentrating on.

I will take a few minutes sometime today in my busy schedule to organise my thoughts and write out my strategy, I will let you know later how it is going!!
