Look What I Won From Love and Lust!


I was the lucky winner of the Love and Lust Blog Giveaway!

Love and Lust is one of my favorite jewelry shops on Etsy, so you can imagine how excited I was to win this beautiful set from her. I recieved the Gaia Earrings and the matching Gaia Necklace in pink, my favorite color. I can't wait to wear them and show them off!

If you'd like your own, follow this link straight to the Gaia Earrings.


I have been saying that I would love to have some business cards from her shop so that I can hand them out to admirers. I get lots of compliments and inquiries when I wear her pieces out in public, but most people haven't heard of Etsy...

I've been tempted to make my own cards, with her store address, just so that I can hand them out.

Her items are just so original and unique, everyone should own at least one. I know you'll agree when you check out her store. :)

I got her business cards though, Yay! (Thank you Love and Lust!) She sent me a few cards and now I can hand these out, I can't wait! Look at her handmade cards, I love the personal touch. It means a lot to me, as well as others, when a seller puts so much thought and devotion into every aspect of their store. Down to the most minute detail, such as packaging and yes, business cards.

I apologize for my not so great photos, I was in a hurry and then my camera batteries died.. Please click on them to enlarge.

I Highly Recommend this book to every seller!





I could not talk about this awesome book without showing off the incredible jewelry from the Love and Lust shop, who wrote the book.

I won the Love and Lust Giveaway, yippee!!
Go HERE to take a look at my prize, but mine will be pink!
I'm super excited, because we all know how much I love this store!
(I'll post some photos when I receive them)


Written by: Love and Lust



I received my copy of Psychology of Selling Online, a very educational book, a few days ago and was so impressed that I just had to show it off!
And Thank YOU for sharing your secrets and fantastic strategies with us!







I have purchased a few other books that were supposed to teach me the various ways of being a successful seller. Some were good, others were just a waste of money (live an learn!)

But, I have to say, there is no comparison here.




This enlightening book goes further in depth than most. It's obviously something that took a while to research and write; not one of those short-quickly written and thrown together books that you can find anywhere.

Yeah, you can go to the forums for advice, right? But you don't always know the right questions to ask in order to learn what you really need to know. There is valuable information in this book that I haven't seen mentioned in the forums... (But you'll have to read it to find out!)

Psychology Of Selling Online is a .pdf document that will be emailed to the address listed on your paypal account within 24 hours, though I received mine within the hour. (She's incredibly prompt) It's nice to not have to wait for it be mailed via snail-mail.
If you are constantly finding that your sales are low, your pictures aren't right, you don't know who your target market is, or no one seems to know that your store exists..this book is essential to you!

I'm voting this the #1 most informative book that I have found on Etsy




"Frustrated with a lack of sales? Not sure if what you’re doing is working? I’m not!
And I’ll tell you why!
Within this book you’ll learn about the basics of starting, running and promoting your etsy shop. I’ve also found the ten BEST scientific journal articles on online selling and summarize each one and break it down in ‘common language’ what their saying and how it applies to your etsy shop and sales!*
A few of the things I discuss in this book:
- The single BEST way to find out what people think about your shop and WHY they’re not buying

- How to build a light box for under $8 and the huge difference it makes in your photos

- Why I get 250+ NEW followers on twitter a day

- How I got my boyfriend featured in our local newspaper one month after he started on etsy

- The personality types of people who shop online and how you can use that information to generate sales

- How to make beautiful handmade business cards that don’t get thrown away

- The one thing you must do on Saturday night on etsy

- Why the descriptions of your items are the most important part of your shop- Why you only need ONE positive feedback to increase your selling potential

- How to ensure your shop has a high level of ‘social presence’

- Why RISK is so important to consumers and how to overcome it

- How to use your competition to YOUR advantage

- Plus much, much more!

This book is over 40 pages long! There are only a few photos so this is 40+ pages of PURE INFORMATION that will increase your sales and demystify the world of online marketing and selling!"
