The end of a (mini) era - June Loons: LAST DAY

Well, we made it. The June Loons Listing Club has ended. This blog is late , of course, but I'm working on the principle is "better late, than never".

Has the June Loons Listing Club worked for me?

You can bet your life, it has!

Wow, what an experience. Six weeks ago I decided to let my shop limp off into the sunset, which it was well on the way to doing, anyway. I hadn’t sold much, and I certainly hadn’t made much money.

For some reason I wondered about the forum and decided to get on and say hello as a last ditch attempt. I’m not really sure why this happened, but it did.

The difference in my sales has been staggering - but let’s take a closer look at what’s actually happened:

· I’ve promoted the shop and met some really wonderful people along the way.

· I’ve seen some gorgeous items (and bought quite a few, too – shush, don’t tell Hubby).

· I’ve had a wonderful time, and I’ve sold 100 items in June through Folksy – all thanks to the June Loons Listing Club.

· I’ve been challenged

· AND, I’ve been supported every step of the way. I’m never going to be able to make a living out of it, but I’m having the time of my life and keeping busy, to boot. This is actually more important to me and my family.

· I get out of bed with a spring in my step and rush downstairs to list every morning, never once thinking, “Oh, I can’t be bothered, today”.

Oh, yes, the June Loons has worked for me, and then some…July Jesters, here I come!
