Official “I need a boot camp buddy” Thread

[Former_Member]

Boot camp launches on Thursday! Would you like a partner to bounce ideas off of, give you a hand when you need it, and keep you on track through this year’s Holiday Boot Camp? Connect with on of your Etsy companions, reach out to a member of one of your Etsy Teams, or connect with each other in this forum thread. Let other members of the team know what kind of buddy you would most like to partner with. Are they also a jewelry artists? Or maybe you’re looking for someone who also works with upcycled materials? Or maybe you want to find someone nearby?

Wondering what the Etsy Success Holiday Boot Camp is? More info here:

I had such a great time last year! I'd love to have buddy again this year!

I'd love to connect with another SAHM mom who wants to work on building her business and promoting!

Also looking for a bootcamp buddy :). I would love somebody who also recycles materials.

A boot camp buddy is an intriguing idea! I would need someone to bounce promotion and marketing ideas off of. It wouldn't necessarily have to be jewelry, just another creative spirit.

It's one thing when I 'hope' to accomplish a certain task; it's another when I share my goals with someone who will hold me to them. Encouraging each other would be great :)

I would love a boot camp buddy :D I that that's a great idea!!!

I recently apprenticed with a master silver smith, so I'm learning new techniques as I go, I think this is a fantastic new opportunity for me on Etsy, and this will be my first holiday season with my new skills and items.

I would love a boot camp buddy. Someone who sells vintage would be a plus but as this is my first year, I would be grateful for any help!

BUFFALO area Boot Camp Buddy?
I'm just starting out and would love to have local help :)

I sell customized "Favorite Things".
And sometimes I sell hand-lettered rocks.

I'd be interested in a buddy too, who would be interested in mutual promotion on FB, twitter and blogs, so someone who does weddings or calligraphy would be great, and similar in taste would be great

Antique
Nautical
Blue and white
A little quirky
Pretty and old fashioned


Lol, maybe that's asking too much? ;) I'm just trying to improve my relevancy lol

This will be my first time at boot camp. Don't really know what to expect - from myself or from boot camp. I'm a hard worker, but inexperienced with etsy and social networking. Soo....

I'd love to have a buddy with a bit more experience, who's willing to have a newbie partner like me.

I would love a boot buddy. Someone who sells luxe items, works full time on their shop, and actively promotes via treasuries and/or social networking.

Great idea!

I'm a new shop, and interested in a boot camp buddy. I'm not very computer skilled, but I am smart and hardworking.

I'd like someone else that does fiber art, or is new to etsy also.

[Former_Member]

I would love a buddy. Anyone who loves vintage....I am not the most technology literate person AND I want to make a nice profit over the holidays, BUT, I work part time and have 5 children. I could definitely use some good tips..time management, etc. getting the most out of my limited time. And any creative tips to keep customers coming back!

Thanks!

I'd love a boot camp buddy! I'm a college student who crafts in her spare time so maybe someone similar age? Or possibly someone who lives in Oregon? I'm not picky, just message me if you're interested!

[TheSnapDragonsLair]

I need a buddy. I have been selling vintage on Etsy for 8 months, have FB and Twitter up and running, and have a half-baked blog. I need a kick in the butt, basically!! If you need a kick, some inspiration, support, and mutual "let's get our shops selling like mad", then give me a yell.

[AccessoriesByBethany]

Sarahndipidies, I would like to be your buddy. I also am a SAHM and am wanting to build my business and begin promoting (other than facebook).

Hi! I'm completely new to etsy as a seller (long time browser and buyer), and I'd love to have a boot camp buddy.

I make art dolls and figures out of new and upcycled/recycled fabric, and found objects.

I've not listed anything in my shop, but, I mean to fix that very soon!
