Information & Concentration

As I start to get my name out there in front of people, I am learning the many different ways to do this. I grew up in a whole different world of marketing and advertising. I began as a graphic artist at the young age of 18 in a print shop. There I learned about numerous ways to advertise. All revolving around print media. Direct Mail for one, and at that time, one of the most important ones. I remember the owner's son talking about this new message board and internet thing. I said "whatever that is", it was basic and just text. Well, here I sit, 18 years later.....in a virtual world. I am learning about Internet advertising, there are so many options now, more than just google. The ever present RSS feed on my Etsy shop, which I just learned about today. Blogging which is new to me and how many people out there offer ad space on their blogs for free, a nominal $5 fee, and all the way up into the multiple hundreds per month. With so much information out there to read and so much to learn, it is imperative that one takes this all in, in small doses. I think my 2 hours today has been enough for the day. I want more, however I feel at this point my retention of information is going to dwindle and I do need to focus on creating some new items for your pleasure! :)
I have a new line of rings coming out soon that I am sooooo excited to release. No pictures yet.... I want to have a large number of these rings in stock because I know that they will be a hit.
So back at it I go!

Have a wonderful Thursday and remember this..
Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise.
View life as a continuous learning experience.
