yorkiegirl83 | 05-20-2007 05:01 PM | I agree so much w/Amber. I'm sewing and occasionally sell on YT, but if it came down to being a member here, or strictly promoting my items, I would always be a MEMBER. I've made some great friends, learned a lot, and love the sense of community that is here.
I've actually almost stopped selling my items here and when my business launches, have made the decision to NOT become a featured seller or really advertise my products on this site. I've seen hurt feelings, felt hurt feelings on my end, and seen a lot of underhanded things transpire when you get into the whole selling business.
I value my friends here first and won't want anything to compromise that. There are plenty of other places to advertise my items, but there are not plenty of other places to find FRIENDS and information like this one :).
I feel really sad when I see people only on here to sell and advertise and not experience the site and community because they're missing out on a lot. |
