Welcome to Etsy Sales Success!!!

You've finally made it to the most thrilling Etsy team ever! This team is all about getting excited for making sales and improving your Etsy shop. We are all here for similar reasons and that's basically to run a successful Etsy shop.

This team is dedicated to answering those questions from the about section all of us have asked ourselves at one point in time. Through this team, our focus will be to share knowledge on all aspects of improving your shop, marketing strategies, tips & tactics, growing your business and lessons learned from personal experiences. Let's get creative and make those sales!

So let's get ready to hear that CHA-CHING!

To start off this topic of introductions, let me begin.

Hi I'm Amy! I have been an artist my entire life. The skills I have been so LUCKY to harvest came from the many mediums I got my hands on in the print and film industry, hair & make-up, cooking, painting, illustrations, mixed digital media, creative director, graphic designer, wedding & boudoir photographer... the list goes on and on. The computer changed my life creatively early on and it helps me continue to grow as an artist. For me ART is LIFE. NYC & Los Angeles have been called home but I'm a Jersey girl at heart, now living my dream in Hawaii with my best friend and husband, the love of my life. He is part of my daily inspiration and the support he gives me helps make this all possible. I LOVE evolving so today with the new digital and technology advancements, the new avenues and possibilities can be limitless! Blessed I am to be a digital nomad, passionately taking my ART everywhere and to everyone from all over the world!

Now it's your turn. Please share with us who you are and what inspired you to open an Etsy shop.

Hello to everyone! I'm Shannon From Vancouver, but prefer to go by the nick name Shilly, a friend gave it to me because he thought that I was silly, at first it was a weird name to be given, I mean SHILLY? but over time I grew to love the nick name.

I opened my shop nearly a month ago in hopes of sharing my handmade items, still I have yet to make any sales but I'm hopeful!
I enjoy working most of all with gemstones because I'm a hippie at heart and believe energy flows where energy goes and with gemstones they all have such an amazing history and background story, I write about the potential benefits each gem may give to it's wearer, please take a look at my store and I would really appreciate any insight you may have to offer in my stores development.

Thanks Everyone for reading!
I wish you all the best of luck in your journeys.

[DarkMatterJewelry]

Hi all! My name is Rana and I am the owner of Dark Matter Jewelry :) Im a current Physics and Mathematics student in Seattle and wanted to apply my love of science to jewelry. I was a previous art and design student (years ago) but made the switch in the last 3 years. I still love art and design so the Etsy shop is kind of the blend of both worlds and I thoroughly enjoy it .

Besides academics Im also a competing Olympic Weightlifter. Im not in the Olympics (people often confuse that) but rather its a specific sport called "olympic" weightlifting, and I compete monthly for fun.

All of these aspects of my life keep me really busy mentally and physically, but over all I love everything I do and hope to make lots of good and new friends in this team :) Im an avid Etsy business supporter.

[Artfanaticus]

Welcome to the Team Rana. That's amazing you're able to combine your two passions with science and jewelry. Thanks for joining our Team.

Hi Svetlankova, glad to have you on our Team.

[SurfaceHug]

Hello everyone. I'm a forty something stay at home Mum of 3. I've always dabbled in painting and drawing and last year taught myself Illustrator to design patterns.
I stumbled upon Digital downloads one day through a friend and decided to give it a go last year. I sold practically nothing and in frustration deleted everything to start again a few months ago. Since then I've had a few sales, but really really need to hit that magic number of 100 items for sale so that is my goal for now.

I live in the Somerset levels in the Uk...and I really just want to make enough money to pay a cleaner so I can just design all day.

Lovely to meet everyone, great to be on board.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone, we are very excited to be a part of an active team with many talented artists. Our names are Jean and Alex Lemay and we are Northern Twisted Art. We started out in 2010 with our wire trees, then progressed to everything else, the earrings and rings are the newest addition to our art.

We're still fairly new to Etsy learning how it works exactly, changing things here and there day by day. Nonetheless the views in our shop have been slowly going up and we finally started to see a few sales.

But any tips and criticisms is more then welcomed.

Thanks again everyone,

Happy selling,
Jean and Alex Lemay

Hello, I'm Allegra Ghiloni and i opened my Etsy shop in November after finishing university and moving to Italy from the UK to live with my boyfriend.

I learnt to make jewellery while I was travelling around South America and have always made bits and pieces as a hobby but was always to busy at university to sell it. I have always loved Etsy so I thought now is a great time to try my hand at selling my pieces. :) Thank you for having my in the team xx
