Taking a flying leap

Feb 27, 2013 11:43

I've had this thing rolling in my head, an idea for some things I want to make and sell. At first, it was just some stuff to put in the gift shop in the front of the art studio I already work in PT. But since the beginning of the year, I keep getting these little "pushes" out of nowhere that's telling me to take it further. A friend that I have do my cards came back all over it, friends have been asking, my Dad's psychic (she's a wonderful woman, not a Ms. Cleo type) out of the blue told him to tell me I need to stop holding myself back, to run with it - and she doesn't even know what I do.

So, darling husband is reserching domain names for me and the one I want is there and open. Hopefully his check will drop tomorrow and we can register it. From there, I'm not sure which direction to go. I don't want to do ebay or etsy, there's got to be other places online to sell stuff. I don't know how to build my own website and I can't hire someone to right now. My husband has tried to do it for me, and he has the knowledge, but it's not his thing and honestly, he's too picky. *LOL* OCD Webdesign would be his name. What he has tried to do for me has taken way too long cause he looks at it from a developement side, where I want it to look good and just work. Like he's said, he makes it work, he doesn't do pretty.

I swear we're two halves of the same brain.

So I need something I can do myself, but simple. I don't know html, I tried, we don't work well together. Actually I think the last time I tried it flipped me off and took my coffee as it walked away. Bitch.

I don't want to use GoDaddy. My boss uses it and it's okay, but I can't invest in something like that right now. There's got to be free or relatively cheap drag and drop sites out there. Something where I don't have to use paypal would be wonderful (again, took my coffee through ebay).

I know artsy people that do this. Help? Suggestions?

I don't want to say too much about what I'll be selling, but it's accessories and art of sorts. Nothing really fanbased, maybe "inspired by" kind of thing once in awhile. It's kind of a mash of stuff, but it'll work, especially with the name I've picked out.

I wanna "run" like everyone's been telling me, but I can't seem to get out of the gate.
