AAA Support Team Thread!

[#1]

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!

Thank you again for joining!

thank you so much! I often forget the boards are here. I used to be an avid poster on Many teams, but life outside Etsy has become incredibly busy for me.

I value every one of you, Thanks peeps!

Thank you, Chris, for the message! I enjoy the ABC and Color Connection games. I would appreciate a one-on-one mentoring.

Thank you Chris Tanck for the wonderful information. It was truly helpful for me. Yes I will continue to look into this more. God knows I need all the help I can get. I haven't been much of a reader. It doesn't hurt to try.

Thank you for the wonderful email. Stop by the shop sometime, I would love to hear what you would have to say. I have all the time in the world since I am retired. It is just a hobby with me and I have enjoyed my three years being out here on ETSY, sales maybe a little slow at times but I get found now and then and I try to work at promoting my items through the games and through treasuries. I have thoroughly enjoyed being on this team. Thanks again for all your hard work!!

Hi Chris, and thank you for your efforts!

Being more active in the team is definitely something I need to start doing, and I didn't realise there's a chat. I'll definitely check it out!

Thanks again, and Happy Selling! <3

Intend to thoroughly "sort" my Shop out over the summer (or what's left of it!). Would appreciate some mentoring, as am pretty sure I could improve on what I've been doing over the past two or three years since you first invited me to join. Is it better for that happen BEFORE or AFTER that happens?

Chris, thank you for the email. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop by my shop when you have the time. I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Selling online is a hobby for me, and I have a full-time job, so I have more time on the weekend than I do during the week. I try to check the team discussions on a daily basis and get new listings up over the weekend.

I've been on Etsy since January of 2010, and sales have always seemed to be feast or famine. I sold more in that first year, though, than I have in the following four. I saw a comment that someone else made regarding a sale that came about as the result of a search. I really don't know how my buyers find me ... and I don't know how to know how my buyers find me! (Other than asking them through a message). If there is a tool or a trick to learn this, I'd be interested. I enjoy the games, and I have a number of treasuries that I maintain, many of which I created before I ever joined a team. I've thought about creating treasuries with only items from team members, but the only way I could think of doing it took hours and hours and hours.

Thank you for your willingness to help!

Hi, everyone! Just wanted to say thanks for posting! This is an awesome team, with plenty of ways to promote yourself as well as others. The daily chat is lots of fun. At the moment, we don't have many participants, so stop on by! Today we're playing a game of "Describe your favorite movie star". Come late August or September, when the summer is over and people get back to chat, we'll resume discussing topics that have a bearing on your Etsy shop.

Have a great day!
