New Face!

I am brand new to the Etsy Success Team, and pretty new to Etsy in general. I am looking forward to learning all I can about how to be a successful seller! I never thought about actually selling my art until I found this site. I want to do everything I can to make it happen. I would love the advice and pointers from sellers and buyers alike.

Re: New Face!

Welcome! Beautiful art you have.

My best advice for a new seller is to read, read, read the forums to pick up various tidbits of info. There is so much information that it can be overwhelming at first so just go one step at a time and learn as you go.

Also, find your target audience and market directly to those people. I did that via Facebook and the vast majority of my sales now come from there. There are lots of ways to promote your shop however, and what works for one shop might not work for another. You just need to do a little experimenting to see what brings you the most traffic.

The reality, for most of us on Etsy, is that patience is a must. I find that keeping busy creating new items not only helps keep my shop full but also helps keep me motivated between sales.

Good luck!

Re: New Face!

I would like to know that too. Also, the fb thing: How do people find you there on fb? Just through your etsy site?
