Site-Wide Activity

You got lots of good experiences here already!
I always respond to this question with questions:
Do you already have an audience? How are people going to find your shop?
Although Etsy is in no way going to be responsible for sending you a lot of traffic, it does put your fiber in the pool of results when people search (where it can take you…[Read more]

I sell my jewelry through my own website (a Shopify store), Amazon Handmade and Regular, and nominally Etsy. Jewelry (mostly repeatable designs, $35+) may not translate to the yarn and fibre world, but this is my experience:

Etsy: I made a big push and effort on Etsy 2 years ago, for about 9 months, and only ever made 2-3 sales per month. Now I…[Read more]

@karen-lepage it is so easy to review other peoples' work! Let me/us know if we can help. I'm not likely to be on chat today.

Thanks @jill-wolcott – Those ARE cues to me, and I need to modify them. I appreciate your eagle-eye and I have made those changes.

The other presentation is proving to be far more difficult to put together, even though I know the subject matter like the back of my hand!

what's going well & what are you working on? combining these again this week —

I made a few minor adjustments to my systems. I'm thankful they're resilient this week as it's super chaotic for a variety of reasons, some expected others not.

I'd love extra hours to sleep (I've been getting about 7.5 hours, my body wants more this week) but it's…[Read more]

@karen-lepage, These are great. If I am in your audience, here's where my mind goes on this slide:

If you can't find a free software that does this for free, you could use excel spreadsheets to manage this data. A spreadsheet for potential clients, a spreadsheet for each current client, and a spreadsheet of historical order information.

About three years ago I broke down in tears on the way to pick up my mother for…[Read more]
