Beer

I enjoy drinking and brewing beer. There is a challenge and appreciation that comes from creating a delicious brew.

My First Bottle Stopper On Etsy

I’m testing the waters with selling my bottle stoppers on Etsy. The site has the benefit of an existing user base, but my small collection of items (currently only one) is most likely lost among the vast quantities of items. I posted a cherry bottle stopper with a stainless steel base as my first test. There has been almost negligible traffic to the item listing with almost every page hit being sourced from the bit.ly link that I’ve posted in a few places. I plan on posting a few more bottle stoppers up there to site for a while. From what I’ve learned so far, popular stores are somewhat self sustaining, but newer, smaller sellers are all but lost in the void. The $0.20 posting fee is trivial and spending a few dollars to force myself to think about how I can market my woodworking crafts is a worthwhile expense.
