"Promote Your Sh*t Already!!!"

So why this crazy rant? I'm sick, sick, sick, of hearing people complain; I have no sales, why do I have no sales, no sales help me, why doesn't someone on the site promote us, nothing is selling, is my stuff not good, etc. etc., etc.

Hello, this is your wake up call and I'm not going to sugarcoat this one. People you need to get off your own a$$ and promote!!!

Now I don't expect anyone to go as crazy with the promotion/marketing as I do. I've been doing this for almost 11 years and I cannot slow down now. I want to have my jewelry in Nordstroms before I die!! LOL

Anyway, here is my list of things I advertise and network my sites with;

Kawaii Site that helps promote my cuties!
