Struggling with the Business

 

    You probably don't know because I never talk about it that I have a business on Etsy called House of Heron. It was part of my birthday goals to start a business. I decided to resell clothes I found at thrift stores because I had seen others do it and honestly because I thought it would be easy; my products are already made I just have to list them. What I didn't take into account was that I would have to find these clothes. First off its hard to find actual vintage clothes. I don't know how every one else does it. Also its hard to find fashionable things. Most things at my local Good Will are from the 80's or 90's. I can't even market them in a grunge way (I guess that was a 90's thing) because they're mostly pull overs and baggy jackets.
    Also it is evident that I don't know how to take pictures. I don't have any blank background with a place to hang the clothes and I don't have any lighting equipment. I've always judged sellers with crappy product photos, but now I'm sympathetic.
    I really just want to quit, but one reason I made goals was so that I could stick to something and see it through.
    Lessons learned: it may be easier to make my own products
