A new decision

The new decision I made is I am going to close my Etsy store.  I've been with them for 4 years and I've gotten 1 sale. I have 6 followers in my Etsy store in the whole 4 years and in only 1 year with my website I have 75. 
This is all with the same amount of promotion that I do, so in the long run, I know that the Etsy store isn't worth it even if it only costs me 3 dollars a month.  Now what I intend on doing is turning my website into an e-commerce store, and sell everything from that.  That'll take my payment to $35.00 a month but it should be worth it. 
According to Weebly, I can easily list the digital downloads that I want and for right now just accept Paypal.  If I remember I'll write it all down and post this information as I learn it.

The other thing that I'm doing is still trying to figure out how to properly film myself drawing.  I can never seem to get the camera facing right, its either too far down or too far up and I end up not getting anything filmed.  So I get frustrated and stop doing it, (like a little kid having a tantrum).  I think I have only one good project that needs an introduction and then a whole bunch of editing.  It's not hard, just frustrating and a whole lot to learn.  But it'll come in handy if I need to put it on my resume, film editor.  Everybody on YouTube makes it look easy, and all this is because its another way to promote my artwork online.  I read that it is essential nowadays to have a YouTube channel to sell items online.
