It is like a job, reinforcing the ‘look at me, look at me’ mentality. I now hate and resent seeing people bragging about their trips to Hawaii. Good for you, yes, its a pretty place, but don’t keep showing me pictures.

I do enjoy keeping up with out of town friends, and I do use fb like a job. I show paintings and jewelry that I’ve designed and it does attract new customers, but I suppose that can become annoying to viewers too.

In the last couple years I’ve been super lazy about posting anything but nature, my pets and inspirational stuff. I hate having a business page and a personal page. Thinking I should dump the biz page, I’m semi retired anyway. Any thoughts?

So many people don't have FB and I feel like that limits your scope of sales. There is always Etsy for business. I dumped FB 3 years ago and feel like I am floating in space without it. I will declare that I thrive without it anyway. I have to declare that because sometimes I miss it but I declare that I don't!

True, and getting more true as people are dropping fb and Instagram.

' declare I don't miss it!' That's positive thinking... I think it, therefor it's true. 😉

Etsy is tough for higher end items. A lot of jewelers hate how they treat merchants. It started out good I guess.
