tomakeanofferMorning all! I'm hoping you are well and everything is treating you kindly. Today I managed to get myself out of bed at a reasonable time and for this, I am really, really proud. I've been sleeping really oddly the past week or so, and because of that I'm pretty pleased I'm up and have had enough sleep to function today.
What are the good things that have happened to you lately? What are some less good things? Come babble with us!

Date: 2019-06-16 02:47 am (UTC)Sadly, my designs are rather niche (dolls & their clothes of video game characters) and they just don't attract many buyers. I've had a doll pattern on sale since February. I offered it for free for two days, as people usually do with new designs, and it had a ton of downloads, but since then.... Crickets.
I just released a pattern for clothes today, and again offering it free for two days. My email is dinging every 30 seconds with notifications of downloads. I'm offering a discount on the doll that goes with the clothes, and have had just one sale so far. I don't expect many sales at all, honestly--I'd be thrilled if I get ten.
(The thinking behind offering it for free for a limited time is that people will then make it and create project pages, which helps promote the design. Folks are more likely to buy if they are projects attached. Sadly, I had over 500 free downloads of my doll pattern and not a single person created a project page for it, which probably meant it was downloaded by pattern hoarders and not folks who were intending on making it.)
