Damn. I just had an idea I could have monetized in December.

[hmpf]

I'm really good at quickly whipping up nicely decorated calenders and agendas and so on (by painting/drawing/rubber stamping on them, applying collages etc.) Used to do it for my mother every year, as well as for myself. I could have bought a bunch of plain ones, decorated them, and sold them on etsy and/or dawanda. Damn.

Not that that would have made me *a lot* of money, but hey, every little helps, and if I'd used reasonably cheap calendars the financial risk involved in making a few would have been negligible.

Plus, it's fun.

Suppose I could still try it with notebooks...

I'm very bad at selling, never even sold a lottery ticket for aid, but I keep thinking those thoughts, too. Then I tell myself that only people posting about it make money off it and most don't? Have you managed before?

You mean on etsy?

No, I haven't used etsy yet, nor its German equivalent dawanda. I have sold some jewellery, on occasion, but just to people I know. But etsy and dawanda look *very* easy to use, and I figure it couldn't *hurt* to try putting some stuff on there, you know?

Oh definitely! I haven't even checked if there are fees like on ebay because my esteem is below cellar *g* but I know lots of people on LJ earn that way.
