I always have a goal when making something, it is what motivates me. I used to do crafts without any goals but I felt it was a waste of time if no one was going to enjoy them. So now I only quilt if it is for someone. I was thinking about selling my quilts but I am not sure I want to do that cause I like to give them away.
I am sure there others on the board that can tell you how to get the word out about your items.
