Listing my second item on Etsy! The thrill of my first sale and the decision to take a 'detour'
First listing, and my first sale!
The day before yesterday, I finally managed to get my first item listed.
YuruWorksAtTokyo - Etsy Japan
This is the item.
Wow! Someone already bought it!
I don't know how to express my gratitude 😭
The 'correct' path of efficiency and the 'truth' of a hobby
I keep fighting with AI to create cover images until I'm satisfied with the result.
This in itself is a lot of fun, but since it takes time, I turned it into a template to free up time for establishing automation for creating LINE stickers.
Focusing on what needs to be done—if it were just that, it would be the right thing to do. I think that's undeniable.
And, since I'm an amateur when it comes to business, I don't know for sure, but I suspect that in the field of business, narrowing down your target and focusing is likely the right thing to do, or at least a valid approach.
However, there is something I must not forget.
This isnot a business.
What I am doing now isa hobby.
And I realized that by being able to write articles about the messy, hands-on experiences I'm having, I can tell others who are lost or struggling just like me that I'm doing my best, so let's do our best together.
Of course, if the automation of LINE sticker creation goes well, and if the content is good and sells, I think that would be a truly great thing.
But since everything, including my posts on note, is part of my hobby and an extension of it, what's wrong with having fun creating images? I realized once again that it's actually something I should be doing.
Declaration of a detour! I'm going to be greedy and do it all
It's okay to take a detour, isn't it?
Perhaps by doing so, I might even get better at creating LINE stickers (especially image generation) itself, and since this is fun in its own right, it's perfectly valid as a hobby.
So, I will continue to aim for the completion of LINE sticker creation automation, and once it's finished, I will create LINE stickers, have fun making cover images, and do my best with Etsy listings as well.
It's a lot, but I'm going to be greedy and go for it!
Struggling with mockups and finishing the second listing
And, although I wanted to finish it yesterday, I struggled with some minor adjustments (especially the mockup images...), but the second listing is finally complete.
Full sets for A3 and A4 are also available!
Without generative AI, creating this would have been impossible for me forever!
To be continued

I'm sharing what I thought and what I did for the price of a single coin to commemorate 500 followers!
