AAA Support Team Thread!

[DoorCountyVintage]

Hi Team and Welcome!

I would like to take a minute to let you know what we are about and to give you some tips to help you make AAA Support the powerhouse it has become work to help you make money and contacts!

Will it work if you do not participate?

No nothing works if there is no effort, that is true of life as it is of Etsy.

Where should I begin?

Walking Etsy alone is a dangerous and often times unsuccessful experience. That being said my first stop would be to stop in chat, at least once per day to introduce yourself to the regulars. Do this with the goal of getting to know some great people while also expanding your contacts.

Ok dude so I said hi now what?

A lot of people join AAA Support because they need guidance but never ask for it. With nearly 3,000 members unless you make yourself heard no one will know you need help. That being said I personally offer a mentoring program which you can find in the highlighted discussions board. Schedule a time you have at least an hour to spare and I'll share what I have learned in my 4 years on Etsy in a one on one live session in which I will go inch by inch through your shop and give you tips on how to optimize it to be a money maker and explaining why each tip is important.

What is left?

Our promo games are designed to promote yourself by promoting others. This model has proven very effective. As long as you READ the rules and FOLLOW them you will find a happy home here with your views and sales noticeably increasing!

Make the most of your membership just a few minutes a day even if just stopping in chat and getting to know the team make a huge difference!

Hello

I am slammed with work right now I honestly don't have extra time. I will sometime soon. :)

[DoorCountyVintage]

Sounds good CCJ Welcome Aboard!

[LFCcollectables]

Thanks Chris,

This is something I need to do right now, as I always feel I'm doing something not quite right........but don't have the time to really find out what it is.

Thanks for the post Chris, I will step up my efforts !

You are Welcome John!

Wow, thanks for the words of encouragement and for the motivation! My name is Sarah, I've been selling on etsy for years, but never had the break through that I wanted. There have been times when I devoted 12 hour days to my business for months at a time, only to feel rather defeated. I have a unique and beautiful product, I believe my pictures are quality and I have an interesting story. I will definitely engage more. Thanks for the push. Also, feedback from any one regarding my shop, would be welcomed. Thank you.

Is there much of #etsyaaa presence on Twitter? Every once in a while I use the hashtag but don't often get retweets from it.

My shop has been totally dead the last few months. In fact, I'm searching for a day job. It's frustrating because it was really starting to pick up through Facebook contacts.

[DoorCountyVintage]

Hi Sarah!

My best advice is join our daily chat,play the games and as far as photos I love your items but feel the wood background is overshadowing them, I'd use a light neutral or preferably white background to make your items pop and be the center of attention!

[DebmonDesign]

Hello! I keep meaning to be more active in Teams, maybe now that I can read posts from the app I will manage it!

I'm Debbie, I mostly create illustrations that involve robots in some way. In September I will have been open just 1 year! I got 5 orders in 2 weeks during June and it's been pretty dead since! If anyone cares to suggest improvements, you'd be welcomed!

[DoorCountyVintage]

Mary you need to engage the team on the daily chat,our facebook,google + the games and yes we need to get the tweeters going again. Overall twitter is difficult to sell on..

You will be fine just keep plugging away :)

[DoorCountyVintage]

Hi Debbie best place to go is the chat cafe' to ask about how to improve your shop and meet the team! :)

[HempClub]

Thanks Chris for your dedication, it is much appreciated, and good luck to everyone!

[DoorCountyVintage]

No worries Kelsey but the leaders deserve more credit than I do :)

[Sculpturegeek]

Thanks Chris,
My main problem is figuring out how to do all the computer stuff to stay active within the group. Shop is busy though!

I am very very busy I have to hire someone for this upcoming Halloween
(yes Halloween already ) maybe you can come to Montreal to join me to sew if you want xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
thank you very much again

[DoorCountyVintage]

Lol..I think I'd do more damage than I would good if I tried to sew :)

[SewPanache]

Thank you so much for the push to engage with the team. I've joined teams before but wasn't sure exactly what to do so I'm excited to find out more!

[JorArtJewelry]

Hi Chris! I appreciate your letter, and noticed that you are doing much for this team.
My situation is pretty much like Mary phillips said - as much as I work on Etsy - sales do not come for 6 months, that is rather long time. I do a lot of work on my bench, so do not know how long will I hang on etsy. For my opinion, I did not built my target market, and it bored me.
Thanks and good luck to all!!

[DoorCountyVintage]

You guys are welcome see you in chat! :)

[FunSignFactory]

I would love the opportunity to have you review my store to see where we could use some improvement. Thanks for the offer.

[DoorCountyVintage]

Ill send you a message tomorrow in the meantime why not drop by the chat thread and say hi :)

[CrochetRagRug]

Sound good put me in ...

[BelladonnasJoy]

Thank you Chris for the reminder, I keep getting off track from all I should be doing. I finally got away from treasuries for awhile and that has helped a lot with time management. Got my Christmas in July Sale on, but so much more to do.

Thanks for the kick in the butt :)
