This is Harder than it Looks!
Etsy is a hard place to sell jewelry! I am so spoiled because I had a huge following when I had my main website and newsletter subscribers. While that was too overwhelming for me at this stage of life I enjoyed the volume of jewelry that was being made and sold. I think I hear crickets in my Etsy shop! Ha ha My sister in law told me that 2200 start an Etsy shop each month. Is that true? That's AMAZING! No wonder it's so hard to get going over there! Correction: It's 2200 buyers/sellers a day!
Do you guys think Etsy is intimidating? I was in a bead store the other day and I heard a lady tell the owner that she had nightmares after looking through Etsy. Seriously? Fantastic dreams of beautiful lovlies for me but no nightmares! What do you think? Is Etsy intimidating? Does it seem like a pain to sign up to buy things?
I know that it just takes time to sell but in the meantime I have added lots of yummy photos to Flickr. You can see my cool badge to the right. Think of it as eye candy. Find something you like and then you can head over to Etsy and buy it. Woohoo!
My contest is going VERY well. A ton of sign ups and millions of compliments so I know that people still enjoy my jewelry. That makes me happy. I still love to make it.
I added two new things today so feel free to check them out. I'd love to hear any feedback you may have about Etsy in general, tips for selling on Etsy or comments about the jewelry!
