Do you pay taxes for your sales on Etsy?

Most people have no idea whatsoever just how complicated and amazing an airplane is. A toy airplane is one of those things you wind up and watch go across the floor . If anything a model airplane has to be better than a real airplane because it has no pilot to correct it. The foregoing words were uttered by Mr. Dorffman in the movie and Mr. Stringer in the book. Hollywood changes things you know. The book "Rubber Powered Model Airplanes" goes into aerodynamics in such detail that my mind boggled. It has been asked "what is a hobby ?" I would answer that a hobby is the pursuit of knowledge into an area of expertise unknown to a guy until now.

Any idea why sales have dropped?

Can you diversify your products to give you more customer base?

She sells art. And while you can make good sales off of it, it all depends on how many people are seeing her art and how many people actually want the art...

Because im awful at marketing lol. The only reason they spiked is because a lot of people like the painting that is my profile pic.

Yep. You can sell a dozen paintings in a month or none for 6 months. There is a local brewery that has given me a wall to display my available pieces, when i get back for the summer they will host events with live music for a gallery for me, but right now thats about it, the one painting i have so far there and my business cards

Sounds really nice. I wonder if there are any other local businesses that would want your art?
The thing is, is that a lot of your art has a down feel to it. Which isn't a bad thing, it just doesn't appeal to most businesses.
I like your fish painting of the tetra. It's happy. Reminds me of a trout in a river almost.
