Good Monday morning, Team!

Hey gang Alanna is not feeling well so I'm filling in today!

I really hope I can encourage you all to stop by and say hi! Come share your newest listings,let us know about you, ask questions or just get something off your chest 2,000 people can be a powerful network but it only works if you chose to join in!

There are no requirements on your time but I have been active on Etsy for 4 years and I can tell you going it on your own makes getting sales much harder then joining in a community of sellers that actually care if you succeed or not, but the only way this can work is if we know who you are and what kinda help you need.


My work is all about adventure and teamwork in some of the most inhospitable jungles, mountains and deserts on the planet. If you aren't able to look after yourself and each other, then people die.

Long time reader, first time poster.

I have a question and I was wondering if anyone has a canned response they use for requests for free product. I have a blogger that made a request for free product and I don't think it would be a good fit. Anyone have anything good?

[DoorCountyVintage]

Just ignore it or say no you dont give out free product. It's a scam that is well known throughout Etsy.

Chris - sorry that Alanna is not feeling well. Hope she feels better soon.

I know the benefit of being part of a team, especially this one. Lately I am bogged down with a lot of website and personal things, so I had not been participating as before. Today however I played the games and did some promotions in the forum. I am coming back slowly.

Have a great day!

[DoorCountyVintage]

great to have you back Marion :)

Popping in for a quick hello! I've been trying to get my shop views back up by listing new items. I'm also trying to set up shop on amazon and still dealing with selling my house. I've got one pretty decent order I'm working on as well. Lots going on here.

Alanna, if your reading this, I hope you start feeling better really soon!!

Mandi, just decline nicely. I get those requests on occasion and I either A don't respond or B say "Thank you for interest in my shop, however I am not interested in gifting any of my products at this time".

Marion, good luck setting up your web page! I know that can take a lot of work!!

Chris, I completely agree being on a valuable team is a great way to be successful on etsy!

I love this team and appreciate all the feedback. I try and check in as much as possible. I hope everyone is enjoying their day!! :)

Hi All,

Just back from the Delaware shore for a wonderful beach vacation. They have the best crab legs and cakes down there. I actually put my shop on vacation mode for the first time. It went fine and was so relaxing to just forget about it for a little while.

Alanna, I hope you feel better soon.

Chris, have you set up your bricks and mortar shop yet? If so, what do you think?

Hi Mandy, glad to see you here.

Marion, I know what you mean about bogged down. I am trying to move forward myself.

Holly, you do sound like a busy bee.

Have a great day.

[Former_Member]

I am moving forward as well...baby step by baby step :) Happy Autumn!

[SETXTreasures]

Good to see you Chris!! Hoping Alanna is feeling better soon! Hello to everyone else too! I've been so busy working on the flip house this week and keeping up with sales. Wandering off to water my garden and then some team games. Hoping everyone has the best sort of evening :)
