One of the...Please don't ever delete this post. One of the reasons I branched out on my own is because I got tired of not being properly compensated for my work, not to mention the creative limitations and constant tweaks in order to get things approved by higher ups. Being alone means I don't get to make as much intensive and creative stuff as I'd like and income may be sporadic, but at least I call the shots in my own wee studio.TortillaGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00230277630212658349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630397191226678069.post-64639205838790501502009-07-02T14:53:54.643-07:002009-07-02T14:53:54.643-07:00LONG LIVE ETSY.

I think that's it is tough for some people to understand that even if you have something priced a certain way it doesn't mean you actually make that much in the end... you are lucky to get a fraction of what you put in. You are one of the hardest working gals I know and you deserve to be compensated as such. Kudos for saying what's on your mind! It is HARD work to be a designer.Myra - twigs and honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519557179946995128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630397191226678069.post-91519074221574036602009-06-28T15:59:02.256-07:002009-06-28T15:59:02.256-07:00Anybody want to give me a Cliff's Notes versio...Anybody want to give me a Cliff's Notes version of the original post?pibegardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569603149967157927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630397191226678069.post-28531082097481988372009-06-27T05:05:49.734-07:002009-06-27T05:05:49.734-07:00thanks for learning a lesson for all of us, it wil...thanks for learning a lesson for all of us, it will always be in my mind now when making transactions.<br /><br />all the best!<br /><br />p.s. you will not know how many times I check your etsy to see if you've added more!

It makes me so angry that people will just abuse talent and peoples time and skill just to gain a profit for an already disgustingly rich selfish business. I think thats what makes it even more important to do it yourself and use sites like Etsy. It feels good that it has already eaten a large chunk of that market, however more people need to follow your example and join sites like etsy and set up business's where they have complete control. So what I wanted to say is that Im really sorry you're in this situation but you really are an inspiration to those of us out there trying to do nearly as well as you are!
