What emotions did you experience when you first listed your products for sale?

Discover the raw emotions of first-time handmade sellers: excitement, anxiety, and perseverance in launching their dream online businesses.

We asked Handmade Seller readers to share their perspectives on our Question of the Month. Here is what they had to say:

I was so excited when I first listed my hand-knitted items and then that quickly disappeared when I didn't make a sale for months. Believe in your product, use proper SEO so that your listings pop up during a search, and don't underprice your product.
