Hello to everyone who loves art and crafts, as well as all of you who are eco-nuts worldwide! :)

In the last 1 year, I, Hristo Hvoynev, have been struggling to run my small handmade website, as I am almost bankrupt, with it not making enough sales to even start making a profit after running it for about 5 and a half years now. 

For example, I show you below the screenshot of the orders in the last 90 days. As I had to cover a lot of older expenses and bills for the business, I was not able to donate money for the tree donation campaign for the last year. Since July 2025, I have also not posted my Monthly Report on the website.


in the last 90 days ExIArts website has had 4 sales for gross sales of about 295 dollars.

I wanted to finally write a new blog post on my website, and recently I wrote the following article for my latest plans with handmade miniatures. 
So if you are interested in what is going on with ExiArts and my plans for late Summer and early Autumn 2026, please read that article.

As for the current state of my small handmade business and my website, the thing is that since I released my website on 29th of April 2021, my handmade business has not yet generated any profit but has incurred a loss of about 4300 euros. 
The biggest expense for the business is the monthly 185 euros for insurance for myself, which I have to pay each month for self-insurance as a manager of my tiny business.

The business also has a monthly Shopify bill of a minimum of 32 USD. 
There is an expense of about 50 euros for accounting, which I pay to my accountant Zoya, a friend of mine since our student years in Sofia, Bulgaria, when we both were in university.

So, basically, much of this debt that is accumulated I have not yet paid to the Bulgarian Government. 
My website has had a very good ranking with Google since July 2025, when Google started sending me a monthly report for my Google website ranking for Google Shopping free listings eligibility.

So for a year now, our Google website standing has been Very Good, which is 5 out of 6.
This is one of the things that gives me hope that in the coming months, when shopping season starts getting better, and that ExiArts website will finally start generating enough decent sales per month so that it will also be profitable after 5.5 years. 
I would also like to say that about the  Plant a tree campaign, I promise to donate the money for planting trees from the last orders since July 2025, as I regularly used to donate up until last July. And since the business has been struggling to be found online by more people and it has been generating losses as of now, it was impossible for me to keep all the bill payments on time, so I could not donate in the last year. But I promise that soon enough I will make the business stand tall on its feet and generate decent earnings!
I have quit very, very rarely in my life! I have been struggling and fighting for my dream small handmade business since 2013, and I have had more than 3000 customers worldwide so far, and in the Etsy years from 2013 to 2020, I was earning a living back then with this business, so I know soon enough this will happen again! This is why I will not quit now, too! I have my plan for new products mainly in the miniature dollhouse area. 
Today I want to be honest with you, and this is why I wrote this article. You must know what is going on with the ExiArts brand as of now, and also what my plant and what is coming in the next few months! 
Please, Folks, if you are an old ExiArts fan and customer, please support us again if you have the ability to do so! It has been harsh times for ExiArts, but I know better times are knocking on ExiArts' door for a much brighter future, a future like the past- amazing times ahead with amazing loyal customers as you have always been! ❤️❤️
I also know that many new people are yet to discover ExiArts and to enjoy it and support it! I must keep going, right? ❤️❤️
Thank you to all of you who have been supporting ExiArts since 2013 until today! Be blessed, dear friends! ❤️❤️
