Hope you're doing great! I wanted to share something I’ve been working on—my shop PrintMuse_Works where I design fun, summer-inspired outfits like bodycon dresses and graphic tees. It’s a small brand, but I’m really passionate about creating styles that stand out.
If you ever feel like checking it out or sharing some support, I’d truly appreciate it!

tricianewell
·1 year agoJust had my 6,000th sale. Last year was probably my best year yet, but this year views and sales are down 50%. No idea why.
Very grateful to Etsy though, for an outlet to sell my artwork, and not at the silly prices which I would have to charge in a gallery.

ChloemomoNails
·1 year agoHi there!
I recently opened my handmade press-on nail shop, it’s been just about three weeks now. I’ve really enjoyed designing the sets, and I’ve put a lot of care into taking photos, writing up the titles and descriptions and list new items daily.
I haven’t had any sales yet, and I’m still figuring out how Etsy SEO works. Honestly, I just want to focus on making lovely nails and hope they’ll reach the right people soon.
If anyone has any tips or suggestions for getting more views or improving my shop, I’d be ever so grateful to hear them!
Here is my new handmade press on nails https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ChloemomoNails

·1 year agoMy milestone that I hit is that I've only had 1 sale this month! My shop is dead no matter what I do. I post on social media, list new items daily, I'm running a sale, I opted in to off site ads, etc. Anyone have any suggestions?

MARIAELA
·1 year agoApril brought a beautiful kind of busy — the kind that fills your heart, not just your calendar.
We were honored to create many custom floral pieces for Mother’s Day and birthdays. Every order felt like a small connection with someone’s story, and we’re deeply grateful for the trust our customers placed in us.
Afternoons spent walking through meadows to gather new flowers have become part of our rhythm — nature truly is the best teammate.
To all fellow makers: I hope this month brought you little moments of joy, even in the busiest days. Here's to showing up, creating from the heart, and growing gently, together. MARIAELA

·1 year agoI launched my shop and modified a few things. I only got views and visits, but no sales. At first, I reviewed and asked some people, and they told me that the designs were not satisfactory for the people & so I have adjusted to it. But still no sales, only views and visits. Here is the link to my shop, so please provide me with some advice because I don't have the budget for advertising purposes. https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrintMuseWorks
Thanks in advance.

CoffeeClockDesign
·1 year agoI started Etsy again last month and started adding more listings. Although I have not made much, the growth is happening slowly. So far, I have made 150 sales in the last 30 days, and I am trying my best to add more listings to compound the growth. It is frustrating sometimes to find what would get traction and sales, but after looking at the data, I am trying to do my best with it. Hope to take it to more than 400 sales this next month. *fingers crossed
BeadHappyGiftCrew
·1 year agoBead Happy Gift Finds has officially landed in the Top 10% of Etsy Sellers — just one year after opening. What began as a single handmade wreath has grown into a unique collection of spoon rings, fairy garden wands, and long nail helpers — all crafted with purpose and personality.
This badge marks more than just progress — it’s a celebration of dedication, creativity, and building something from the ground up.
One year. Top 10%. And the best is yet to come
TheVeraRoseShoppe
·1 year agoHi everyone! I started my shop a couple of months ago, and quickly got a sale from a beloved supporter. More recently, I have worked hard to create and add multiple new listings. I've also ensured my Etsy shop is more professional looking overall. I really hope this will help draw attention and sales to my shop, as it supports a great cause with 100% proceeds going to initiatives to support individuals whom have experienced pregnancy and infant loss. Please feel free to check out my shop

engraving4uFinds
·1 year agoThis April was a meaningful month for me at Engraving4U, my small laser engraving business based in Bournemouth.
I’ve been focusing on improving my custom engraving service—giving people the chance to personalise their gifts with meaningful text, logos, or designs that truly reflect their personality or message. It’s been rewarding to see how even the smallest detail can make a product feel truly special.
One of my biggest wins this month was seeing more people connect with my work through word of mouth and online platforms like Etsy. Orders are growing, but more importantly, I’m getting better at understanding what customers really want—and delivering it with care and precision.
April also gave me the push to get more organised behind the scenes: streamlining production, improving my listing photos, and setting clearer goals for the next few months.
It’s a journey, and I’m proud of every little step forward.

·1 year agoThat's amazing. Getting sales is pretty important. Keep running Etsy Ads and make sure you are Advertising the right items so they get sales. Views and likes are good but sales are what drive you to the top. Ads take about a month to properly get you sales.

ROYALRUGSMOROCCO
·1 year agoHello everyone!
It’s hard to believe May is just around the corner!
April was a special month for me and my small business focused on Moroccan rugs. I started sharing photos of handwoven pieces on my page and received some lovely engagement from people interested in this rich traditional art. I also attended a virtual workshop about pricing on Etsy, which really helped me organize my future plans for listing my rugs on the platform.
The accomplishment I’m most proud of this month is completing my very first full rug based on my own design, inspired by motifs from the Middle Atlas region. It was a deeply emotional and rewarding experience.
Looking forward to growing even more in May — and I’d love to hear how your April went too!

·1 year agoI am proud of myself because in April, I had 2 big bridal jewelry orders at the same time! I am just honored that people would want my creations as part of their special day. I remember I was told to stop talking about my business back in 2020 when I only had 3 orders so far. Now I've had hundreds of orders fulfilled and more importantly, amazing, supportive return customers! My goal this year is to work on establishing my Etsy since I am new to the platform (not as a shopper, but as a seller).
