I have things written down all over the place. I am not organized enough to have it all consolidated!&lt;br /&gt;How do I organize my paperwork?  Everywhere. Between my Etsy shop and school, I am just happy that my students are not getting receipts back instead of essays. I wish that I were a clean freak and have tried to develop the habit, but I have thus far been unable to! I will keep trying.&lt;br /&gt;Taxes make me:  Nervous. I am absolutely certain that I am somehow breaking the law.&lt;br /&gt;My marketing plan is . . . sporadic! I will hand out business cards obsessively for weeks and then do nothing at all. I also have a few items out in local shops on commission, but my favourite way to advertise is to give a pair of earrings and come cards to a friend and let them market for me. It is amazing!&lt;br /&gt;I keep track of mileage for taxes:  Nope. I probably should, but the fact is that I am usually out doing a whole bunch of things while doing shop business, so I do not worry about it. Also, see number 3.&lt;br /&gt;My Etsy shop is a. . . hobby that turned itself into a moneymaking venture. I love to come home after a stressful day and make things. It makes me feel productive!&lt;br /&gt;Outside of Etsy, my favorite place to sell is:  Anywhere locally, really. I generally have samples of my stuff in my car, so if anyone is interested in what I myself am wearing, I show them and they will generally buy something.&lt;br /&gt;Do you ever run sales in your shop?  No, I think that my stuff is pretty reasonably priced to begin with, and I have not done anything yet that is overly seasonal. I suppose that if I ever do, I will run a sale! Not yet, though.&lt;br /&gt;This is my first entrepreneurial adventure.  Yes, barring the inclusion of childhood lemonade stands. I enjoy it!&lt;br /&gt;I believe marketing in showcases:  I am not opposed to showcases, but I would rather spend the money somewhere else, like on more beads. Or on a drink. I am just saying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1010135562374488821-2496583943027175357?l=jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com/feeds/2496583943027175357/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1010135562374488821&amp;postID=2496583943027175357' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1010135562374488821/posts/default/2496583943027175357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1010135562374488821/posts/default/2496583943027175357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com/2008/03/sassafrasium.html' title='sassafrasium'/><author><name>JJMFinance</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14167061571443835567</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R9XNzgpCIsI/AAAAAAAAAYg/Lyt-kN1r8r0/s72-c/iusa_50x50_5323689.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010135562374488821.post-357851615340103776</id><published>2008-03-10T17:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-10T17:06:05.730-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Scarlett Cat</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R9XMwApCIrI/AAAAAAAAAYY/3HswgQmgUkY/s1600-h/iusa_50x50_5312419.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176268471910146738" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R9XMwApCIrI/AAAAAAAAAYY/3HswgQmgUkY/s200/iusa_50x50_5312419.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Etsy Shop Name:  &lt;a href="http://www.scarlettcat.etsy.com/"&gt;Scarlett Cat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I sell:  Quirky, flirty art and cards&lt;br /&gt;How do I manage my shop’s finances?  Do nothing – pretty much. I figure it’s all recorded on Etsy so it will be there for me at tax time.  I do plan on getting an accountant which is stopping me from doing more myself. That and chronic laziness.&lt;br /&gt;How do I organize my paperwork?  Ha! Everywhere – some of it is in folders, some of it is lost, most of it is spread around my desk and some has created a small landslide on my floor. In fact, I once lost a cactus for over 8 months and eventually found it under some paperwork on my desk,&lt;br /&gt;Taxes make me:  Scream. I have no idea what I’m supposed to do and rely on my dodgy and constantly unavailable account for help. I’m hoping I don’t wind up in jail like Paris.&lt;br /&gt;My marketing plan is . . . creative. And not written down. But it’s in my head, I promise. Oh yes.&lt;br /&gt;I keep track of mileage for taxes:  False. Are you kidding me? I have enough trouble stopping for petrol when the light starts flashing.&lt;br /&gt;My Etsy shop is a. . . part time job. Luckily enough someone else deals with the financial side of my full time job.&lt;br /&gt;Outside of Etsy, my favorite place to sell is:  boutiques. I’ve just started selling work through a gallery and have even less of a clue about what to do with taxes for this little venture than I do for Etsy.&lt;br /&gt;Do you ever run sales in your shop?  No. Tried once. Didn’t help. Never again&lt;br /&gt;This is my first entrepreneurial adventure.  Yep.&lt;br /&gt;I believe marketing in showcases:  Never done it. I don’t think this sort of promotion would be as useful as the offsite promotions I work at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1010135562374488821-357851615340103776?l=jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com/feeds/357851615340103776/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1010135562374488821&amp;postID=357851615340103776' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1010135562374488821/posts/default/357851615340103776'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1010135562374488821/posts/default/357851615340103776'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com/2008/03/scarlett-cat.html' title='Scarlett Cat'/><author><name>JJMFinance</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14167061571443835567</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R9XMwApCIrI/AAAAAAAAAYY/3HswgQmgUkY/s72-c/iusa_50x50_5312419.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010135562374488821.post-67491473390620929</id><published>2008-03-06T18:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-03-06T18:22:41.178-08:00</updated><title type='text'>claudiasburningink</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R9CmxBa06YI/AAAAAAAAAYI/rZ7XIY2SRl8/s1600-h/iusa_50x50_5249770.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174819332973455746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R9CmxBa06YI/AAAAAAAAAYI/rZ7XIY2SRl8/s200/iusa_50x50_5249770.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Etsy Shop Name:  &lt;a href="http://www.claudiasburningink.etsy.com/"&gt;claudiasburingink&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I sell:  Wood Burnt Purses, Accessories and other items&lt;br /&gt;How do I manage my shop’s finances?

And various other super-swank baby accessories.&lt;br /&gt;How do I manage my shop’s finances? With a pencil &amp;amp; paper. Well, no, actually most of the time, I use a pen. Oh, and a calculator. That calculator is very important.&lt;br /&gt;How do I organize my paperwork? Everything is currently in ziplock bags. Labelled ziplocks, to be fair: I am somewhat organized.&lt;br /&gt;Taxes make me: …wonder if I’m being lawful.&lt;br /&gt;My marketing plan is . . . to go with the flow: I make sure my friends &amp;amp; family know what I’m doing, and I always have cards on me. Of course, this is only until I get super-successful &amp;amp; need to hire some peeps to formulate a real plan. Hehe.&lt;br /&gt;I’m also a newbie team member of etsybaby, which is a wonderfully busy group of like-minded women (I think we’re all women? Forgive me if I’m wrong etsybaby-ers!). I looove etsybaby.&lt;br /&gt;I keep track of mileage for taxes: Somewhat.&lt;br /&gt;My Etsy shop is a. . . full-time hobby/nap-time job (my children’s naps, not mine… although I often conjure up my best ideas while trying to sleep).&lt;br /&gt;Outside of Etsy, my favorite place to sell is: via Facebook. Fortunately, my other gen-x-er friends are also having babies these days. They’re very kind to me. I have also been fortunate enough to have a very driven friend who puts craft shows on once in awhile – that was the start of selling my craft, actually. I think it could be quite successful if I found the right ones. Maybe that’s my next project.&lt;br /&gt;Do you ever run sales in your shop? Hmmm, “sales” = “incentive” in my shop. If customers want to purchase a set of anything (any 3 items or more), I offer a 10% discount on the total bill.&lt;br /&gt;This is my first entrepreneurial adventure. I think that would be accurate in my case.&lt;br /&gt;I believe marketing in showcases: might bring me some views, but I can’t imagine it’s much more effective than being in a treasury, or having others ♥ you or your items. That’s how I find new shops. Oh, and pounce. And newly listed items. If I’m being totally frank, I’ve never checked the showcases out… even when I was just a buyer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1010135562374488821-4857200601603644771?l=jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com/feeds/4857200601603644771/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1010135562374488821&amp;postID=4857200601603644771' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1010135562374488821/posts/default/4857200601603644771'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1010135562374488821/posts/default/4857200601603644771'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com/2008/03/superfly-lullabies.html' title='Superfly Lullabies'/><author><name>JJMFinance</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14167061571443835567</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R89raRa06VI/AAAAAAAAAXw/y2SqzEUv_Fc/s72-c/iusa_50x50_5294544.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010135562374488821.post-449541066197460059</id><published>2008-03-05T19:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-03-05T19:04:36.072-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Angel's hair</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R89fJRa06TI/AAAAAAAAAXg/L5IUV1s59p8/s1600-h/iusa_50x50_5266780.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174459109771372850" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R89fJRa06TI/AAAAAAAAAXg/L5IUV1s59p8/s200/iusa_50x50_5266780.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Etsy Shop Name: &lt;a href="http://www.angelshair.etsy.com/"&gt;Angel’s hair &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sell:  Illustrations and prints&lt;br /&gt;How do I manage my shop’s finances?

How do I manage my shop’s finances?  Excel – I’m pretty basic, I have one worksheet for expensive and one for profits.&lt;br /&gt;2.        How do I organize my paperwork?  In a shoebox. Well, sorta… more like the top drawer of my file cabinet. I just throw everything in there and hope for the best! At least I know where I have to dig through when I need something.&lt;br /&gt;3.        Taxes make me:  Scream. I try to stay organized year round, but always think I am more on top of things than I need to be.&lt;br /&gt;4.        My marketing plan is . . .  ever changing. Based mostly on my whims and energy levels. I’m looking to get into more advertising to have sort of constant factor in my mix&lt;br /&gt;5.        I keep track of mileage for taxes:  False. Never even thought of it…&lt;br /&gt;6.        My Etsy shop is a. . .  Part-time job.&lt;br /&gt;7.        Outside of Etsy, my favorite place to sell is:  out of my home. My friends and family are my biggest supporters! They’re always looking over my shoulder to see what I am making next&lt;br /&gt;8.        Do you ever run sales in your shop?  Yes – I always try to offer discounts on sets.&lt;br /&gt;9.        This is my first entrepreneurial adventure.  True – unless you count the lemonade stands back in the day&lt;br /&gt;10.     I believe marketing in showcases:  Is worthless. My one venture in their yield no real increases in views and hearts and no sales. I would have taken it personally, but I heard others say the same. I hope they weren’t just being nice;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1010135562374488821-4235809312774056014?l=jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com/feeds/4235809312774056014/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1010135562374488821&amp;postID=4235809312774056014' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1010135562374488821/posts/default/4235809312774056014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1010135562374488821/posts/default/4235809312774056014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com/2008/03/appleandstar.html' title='appleandstar'/><author><name>JJMFinance</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14167061571443835567</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R89ejRa06SI/AAAAAAAAAXY/lC0HGDqPl6E/s72-c/iusa_50x50_5259554.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010135562374488821.post-5052241976496225135</id><published>2008-03-03T17:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-03-03T17:10:27.041-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Simplynotesandtotes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R8yhXZfNMUI/AAAAAAAAAWU/ZGCU1JA5lN8/s1600-h/iusa_50x50_5106945.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173687495292694850" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R8yhXZfNMUI/AAAAAAAAAWU/ZGCU1JA5lN8/s200/iusa_50x50_5106945.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Etsy Shop Name: &lt;a href="http://www.simplynotesandtotes.etsy.com/"&gt; Simplynotesandtotes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I sell:  ladies handbags, totes and accessories – Note pads and paper products coming soon&lt;br /&gt;How do I manage my shop’s finances?

How do I manage my shop's finances?   - Currently, it's a bit of guesswork and some good old estimation, but now that I'm officially a business, I'll be studying a bit harder about where my money's going.&lt;br /&gt;2.  How do I organize my paperwork?  - Not very well... A combination of filing boxes and piles sorted into various places around my apartment.&lt;br /&gt;3. Taxes make me:  - Anxious about getting everything right. A one page form should not need four pages of instructions...&lt;br /&gt;4. My marketing plan is . . . - To get my name out there, both online and in the real world. If people can't find you then they won't know to buy from you.&lt;br /&gt;5. I keep track of mileage for taxes:  - A rough estimate maybe, but nothing terribly precise.&lt;br /&gt;6. My Etsy shop is a. . .  - A useful tool for getting people to see my work. It's not my number one method of selling, but it's nice to have something for people to see online.&lt;br /&gt;7. Outside of Etsy, my favorite place to sell is:  - The real world. I think people enjoy shopping much more when they can pick an object up and hold it before making up their mind.&lt;br /&gt;8. Do you ever run sales in your shop? &lt;br /&gt;9. This is my first entrepreneurial adventure.  - Sorta... I was a partner in my boyfriends video game development company, but it was more for the paperwork than actual work.&lt;br /&gt;10. I believe marketing in showcases:  - Looks pretty cool but I don't know how reliable it is as far as bringing in sales. I'd be interested in seeing some numbers on it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1010135562374488821-3872562239457398623?l=jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com/feeds/3872562239457398623/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1010135562374488821&amp;postID=3872562239457398623' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1010135562374488821/posts/default/3872562239457398623'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1010135562374488821/posts/default/3872562239457398623'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jjmfinancesurvey.blogspot.com/2008/02/freeforged-jewelry.html' title='FreeForged Jewelry'/><author><name>JJMFinance</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14167061571443835567</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R8Nkz0T-x5I/AAAAAAAAATk/2mqenx8tqKw/s72-c/iusa_50x50_5127178.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1010135562374488821.post-1459531358897446573</id><published>2008-02-24T13:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-24T13:04:51.714-08:00</updated><title type='text'>blissful goods</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R8HbykT-x0I/AAAAAAAAAS8/r9VPEn605E8/s1600-h/iusa_50x50_5058318.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170655508985464642" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yC5i-I1GgL4/R8HbykT-x0I/AAAAAAAAAS8/r9VPEn605E8/s200/iusa_50x50_5058318.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Etsy Shop Name:  &lt;a href="http://www.blisskitty.etsy.com/"&gt;blissful goods&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I sell:  screenprinted prayerflags and clothing, felted beer bottle and can cozies, knitted and crocheted goodies for dreadlocks and etc, and other things i make from my plethora of skills. basically what i'm addicted to doing at any given moment!&lt;br /&gt;1.
